Overview

Supporting Sentence-Level Comprehension

Free! Webinar Wednesday. Help students untangle complex sentence structures to support reading comprehension.

Course description

Professional Development hours: 1

Help students untangle complex sentence structures that impede reading comprehension. Before students can comprehend what they’re reading or how to structure a piece of writing, they need to understand individual sentences. Complex syntax often acts as a hidden roadblock to comprehension and writing coherence. This session covers sentence-level strategies, such as sentence combining, deconstruction, and connective analysis, to enhance student reading comprehension and writing skills. While a recording will be provided afterward, we encourage you to join live to participate in the conversation and Q&A.
