JOIN EDUCATORS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE FOR A 4-WEEK FALL BOOK STUDY ON
Know Better, Do Better: Comprehension
Rethink comprehension instruction through the lens of the Science of Reading.
Walk away with actionable routines, instructional shifts, and practical strategies you can begin using right away to make comprehension instruction more intentional—and more impactful.
SAVE MY SEAT
Strong comprehension doesn't happen by accident.
...Yet many of us are wondering:
01
Why do my students understand one text but struggle with another?
02
If comprehension isn't just a set of strategies...what should I be teaching instead?
03
What does research-aligned comprehension instruction actually look like every day?
We all would hope for richer discussions instead of one-word answers.
So, here's what we'll cover in our fall book study:
✔ Why comprehension is far more than teaching reading strategies
✔ Practical ways to plan word study, close reading, and other text experiences that deepen thinking
✔ How to make comprehension lessons more intentional and research-aligned
Plus, you'll get:
✔ A Book Study Guide & Pacing Calendar
✔ Video Recordings of Each Study Session to Refer Back to, as needed
✔ $25+ Worth of Applicable Resources to Use in the Classroom
Here's the truth:
Comprehension isn't built through isolated strategies.
It's built through knowledge, language, and meaningful interactions with text.
That’s exactly what we’ll explore together this September.
