Whether we are considering reading comprehension in 4th grade or 12th grade, the same big ideas must be addressed with research-validated practices, before, during, and after passage reading to ensure student success. Can students read the words accurately and fluently? Do students know the meaning of critical vocabulary? Do students have the necessary background knowledge for the passage? Do students use powerful practices to focus on and respond to the passage's critical content? In this training, Dr. Archer will address each of these questions with current research. You will leave with instructional procedures that you can put into action immediately. Target Grades 4-12
