Elevating Reading Comprehension with Close Reading and Effective Questioning in Secondary ELAR - 34207
Join us for an in-depth exploration of strategies and techniques to enhance students' reading comprehension. This session will explore the transformative power of close reading, effective questioning, and tiered-level questioning support.
Close reading is more than just a surface examination of text; it's a systematic and strategic approach that encourages readers to immerse themselves in the written word. In this session, you will learn how to help your students unlock the layers of meaning within a text, fostering a richer and more profound understanding of its content through close reading. We will also explore the power of effective questioning and tiered-level support in boosting reading comprehension. Learn to craft insightful questions and provide tailored support for readers at different levels, ensuring everyone can access and engage with the content.
