School-Based Seminars:
Comprehension Connections: Bridges to Strategic Reading
developed by Tanny McGregor
Inferring, questioning, determining importance. It's not easy to teach these abstract thinking strategies, yet research tells us that by teaching kids to think, we are offering them access to the world. Fortunately, Tanny McGregor has developed visual, tangible, everyday lessons that make abstract thinking concrete.
In this seminar, participants will learn how to sequence their teaching to take students from a fun object lesson to a nuanced and lasting understanding of text.
