Enhancing Comprehension in Grades 2-5 with Science of Reading

This online course for teachers takes a deep dive into a variety of best practices based on the science of reading to help educators in grades 2-5 guide their students to greater comprehension. The course begins with an in-depth overview of the science of reading — what it is (including an in-depth examination of Scarborough’s Reading Rope), the data behind it, and how it can be harnessed to get your readers on the path to greater comprehension. Teachers will explore the “Big 5” strategies of reading comprehension, taking a deep dive into main idea and details, sequencing, the 5Ws- and H framework, inferring and predicting, and vocabulary — all through a science of reading lens. Teachers will learn how to leverage the science of reading as they guide their students to use their critical-thinking skills to question and sequence text, sort through text structures, and tap into their background knowledge as they use robust vocabulary to make inferences and predictions across fiction and nonfiction texts.
