Active Reading,
Active Learning

In today's classrooms, students must shift quickly from learning to read to reading to learn across diverse subjects. This interactive session will equip K-12 educators with comprehension strategies that bridge the gap between general literacy and subject-specific texts. Participants will walk away with a practical toolkit of evidence-based routines that can be immediately integrated into content areas such as science, social studies, mathematics, etc..
