Title: When the Reading Gets Rough: Helping Students Make Sense of Informational Sources in grades 2-8
Short Description: Do your students gloss over the tricky parts of a source? Gleaning only a superficial understanding of complex concepts or topics? Sunday will discuss how we can help students tackle these “tricky parts” with a sense of agency and identify. Specific strategies will be shared along with anecdotes and student artifacts.
