Description
Comprehension is more than a strategy—it’s the ultimate outcome of effective reading instruction. In this session, we’ll explore how decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and background knowledge work together to build true understanding. Participants will learn practical ways to shift their focus from teaching isolated strategies to creating rich literacy experiences that foster deep comprehension. Leave with tools to design lessons where comprehension is the end goal, ensuring students don’t just “do” reading but truly understand, connect, and think critically about what they read.
