Children Reading, Writing and Talking

their Way to Comprehension

Grades 1-4

April 5, 2008

 

 

 

In order to better comprehend text, children need opportunities to engage in real reading, writing, and talking experiences, and within that context, expand their vocabulary, develop fluency, learn phonics in meaningful ways, and acquire lots of background knowledge to bring to text. This workshop will examine ways to do this within the comprehensive literacy framework.

Sharon is the author of On Solid Ground (Heinemann), a widely acclaimed account of strategies for teaching reading in the primary grades.  She is also the author of the video series, A Close-Up Look at Teaching Reading (Heinemann).
