Intermediate Pathway Workshop: Closing the Gap with the "Fab Four": High-Yield Comprehension Lessons

As a result of the COVID-19 slide, many students have fallen behind in reading. In this workshop, participants will explore how to accelerate literacy scores across blended or distance learning platforms in intermediate grades using proven, engaging, high-yield comprehension strategies. When you teach students to comprehend using evidence-based, reciprocal teaching or the "Fab Four" strategies of predict, question, clarify, and summarize, they will begin to make dramatic reading gains of .74 in just a few months. As we work together, we will learn engaging ways to start now during live, hybrid, or remote instruction using informational text, fiction, poetry, close reading, distance and hybrid small groups, and book clubs.
