We want all students to be able to access complex text by reading closely, but how does this instruction look with below level readers in the intermediate grades? In this session, learn to vary the instructional process rather than the instructional content to maximize students’ independence, deep thinking, and skill. Identify practical strategies and tools to guide readers toward better comprehension with attention to
standards, Depth of Knowledge, oral rehearsal, and written response.
