From Listeners to Thinkers: How to Teach Comprehension for K–2
Want your young readers to have meaningful conversations about books—but not sure where to start? It’s not magic... it’s intentional teaching. In this practical and eye-opening session, Deedee will show you how to plan interactive read-alouds that spark thinking, build comprehension, and encourage even your quietest students to speak up.
You'll discover how to scaffold discussion skills, model deep thinking, and help your young learners transfer comprehension strategies to new texts—all through the power of a well-planned read-aloud.
You’ll learn how to:
1. Plan and deliver interactive read-alouds that engage emergent readers in deep, meaningful discussions.
2. Use intentional scaffolding techniques to support student responses and build comprehension skills over time.
3. Equip students to transfer their thinking from read-alouds to independent and small group reading experiences.
