Workshop Two: Scaffolding Complex Text – Before, During, and After Reading Strategies
Date: Tuesday, July 15
Effective instruction ensures that all students, regardless of reading ability, can engage meaningfully with complex texts. This session introduces evidence-based before-, during-, and after-reading strategies that build comprehension, maintain rigor, and develop critical thinking skills.
Key Learning Objectives:
Implement pre-reading strategies to activate prior knowledge, set reading goals, and prepare students for active reading.
Use during-reading strategies, including structured annotation, graphic organizers, and questioning techniques, to deepen comprehension.
Design after-reading activities that promote synthesis, critical thinking, and text-based discussions.
Explore the role of teacher modeling and explicit strategy instruction in comprehension development.
Understand the role of comprehension monitoring and learn fix-up strategies to support struggling readers.
Afternoon Application Session
Develop before-, during-, and after-reading activities to promote successful reading and deep comprehension of complex texts.
