This session focuses on the “meaning-making” side of literacy, equipping educators with targeted, research-informed comprehension interventions that support students in thinking deeply about text. Participants will explore key components of comprehension—such as background knowledge, vocabulary, language structures, and strategic thinking—and how to explicitly teach and reinforce these skills. The session will focus and tried and true as well as next district interventions that you can use in your classroom throughout the school year. Location: Bishop Room - Pierce
