As the Science of Reading continues to reshape early literacy, a crucial question emerges: What about students who can decode but don’t truly understand what they read? This workshop focuses on the often-overlooked needs of upper elementary readers—those in grades 3–5 who have cracked the code but still struggle with comprehension, fluency, and engagement.
Educators will explore research-based, brain-friendly strategies that build deep comprehension, promote expressive reading, and spark a lifelong love of books. You'll leave with practical tools for planning lessons that integrate vocabulary, knowledge-building, and thinking routines—without sacrificing joy.
Professional Development is most effective with follow-up coaching. Professional development introduces new strategies, but follow-up coaching helps ensure they take root. Ongoing, job-embedded support allows teachers to apply what they’ve learned in their own classrooms, receive timely feedback, and refine their practice—leading to stronger instruction and sustained student growth.
Pick your Pathway:
30 minute to 3 hour professional development session (Can be broken up over multiple sessions days)
PD+ 1 month follow up coaching
PD+ 3 month follow up coaching
PD+ 6 month follow up coaching
