Teaching reading comprehension is a challenging task. There are many different aspects to teaching reading comprehension and doing it well is a feat.
My guests for this episode are here to help us teach reading comprehension better. Their names are Kristin Conradi Smith, Tamara Williams, and Ellen Frackelton. In this episode we cover what the NRP reported about reading strategies, where the implementation of that research went awry, frameworks for the thinking about productive text comprehension instruction, and practices that can be used before, during and after reading to support student understanding of text.
Kristen Conradi Smith is an associate professor in the School of Education at William & Mary. Tamara Williams is a clinical assistant professor at William & Mary, and Ellen Frackelton is a reading specialist in Williamsburg James City Schools in Williamsburg, Virginia.
