#5 2023 Countdown: Ep. 157: Reading Comprehension Blueprint with Nancy Hennessy
Melissa & Lori Love Literacy ™
The Complexity of Reading Comprehension
When working with text and teaching students to work with text, it is important to consider the interaction between the text's features, the reader's background knowledge, and the reading purpose. Comprehension cannot be taught as a standalone skill, but the contributors to comprehension, particularly language comprehension, can be developed in students.
