Reading Rescue with the Fab Four: High-Yield Comprehension Strategies and Lessons to Accelerate Learning Now
July 22, 2021
3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
What can educators do now to accelerate student reading achievement and prevent learning loss? Reciprocal teaching, or The Fab Four, is a proven comprehension tool kit that easily adapts to any grade level or setting including virtual learning for quick results. Teach students to employ the four evidence-based, robust strategies good readers use—predict, question, clarify, and summarize—to make dramatic reading gains, often in just a few weeks or months.
Lori Oczkus will share dozens of ideas that you can use in any setting—live, hybrid, or virtual. She will share how her project schools around the globe have used this high-yield, low-prep comprehension method to strengthen student learning throughout the pandemic and beyond. You’ll be able to actively engage students and involve families at any grade level with the motivating ideas from this webinar.
Participants will
- Gain specific ideas for giving all students equity and access to challenging and culturally relevant texts.
- Explore lessons for whole-class settings; small, guided reading groups; and student-run book clubs.
- Learn how to use poetry and short informational text pairs as powerful and easy interventions.
- Learn comprehension strategies that accelerate learning and the foundations that promote going from “good to great” in school-wide lesson deliver and coaching.
