One of the goals of reading is to comprehend text. In doing so there are many skills that learners need to build in order to comprehend text. In order for learners to make meaning from text, which is the ultimate goal of reading, learners must have command over the foundational reading skills. When learners struggle to grasp these foundational reading skills, they will find that it is not easy to comprehend what they read.
In this module, teachers will explore how to support learners who are struggling with reading comprehension through guided reading, close reading and prompting learners, and finally designing and recording a guided reading or close reading lesson.
