Literacy Learning in Action Workshop: 7 Types of Comprehension Instruction

     This workshop is sponsored by the St. Lawrence Valley Teacher Learning Center and is open to all education students. It is part of a Literacy Learning in Action Workshop series that will be held throughout the academic year. Participants will include SUNY Potsdam students and staff, as well as local teachers! Please join us for this professional workshop to deepen your literacy instructional practice.

     Strong reading comprehension requires more than just decoding—it’s about equipping students with strategies to think deeply about text. In this session, we’ll explore seven research-backed comprehension practices, including predicting, questioning, clarifying, summarizing, visualization, making connections, and monitoring understanding. Together, we’ll break down how each strategy supports students’ reading growth and how to model them effectively during instruction.
