Making Sense of Informational Texts
Unlock the treasures of informational texts.
Working through ideas and practices described in Linda Hoyt's popular book Make It Real, teachers learn how to use a range of reading experiences to equip students with a tool belt of content-area reading strategies designed to help them work through virtually any nonfiction text.
This seminar provides teachers with practical, classroom-friendly tools to make informational texts more attainable, scaffold vocabulary, and deal with content-specific challenges.
