This episode is about what SLPs need to know about reading comprehension. It begins by acknowledging that SLPs have a large scope of practice, and that they are not typically seen as the primary professionals who work on reading comprehension, especially in the school setting. It invites SLPs to make slight adjustments to their practice to ensure that students get the best support possible. The episode then emphasizes the idea that reading is an umbrella term composed of many sub-skills. It then moves into an overview of widely accepted reading models, including the Simple View of Reading, Scarborough's Reading Rope, and the Active View of Reading. Strategies and suggestions are woven through the discussion of each model. The final segment of the episode highlights important considerations related to reading comprehension for student populations that may be particularly relevant to SLPs. The episode closes with a reminder of the role that reading comprehension plays in many aspects of our lives.
