Exciting Developments -" Why Don't They Comprehend & How Can We Help Them?"

This past spring we presented a proposal to the Virginia Department of Education to present at the DOE Literacy Institutes.  We were elated to find out in May that we had been chosen to present at two of the Virginia's Literacy Institutes.  On October 2nd we presented in Abingdon, Virginia, and we will be presenting again on October 30th in Staunton, Virginia.  Over the past two years, Jessica and I have realized the need for explicit comprehension instruction is crucial to the success of our students, and have worked to develop some ways to address this through our presentations, "Why Don't They Comprehend & How Can We Fix It?".  In our presentations, we strive to address the comprehension strategies that are affecting students that struggle with comprehension.  We are passionate about the strategies included in this presentation and are very excited to have been contacted by several schools and invited to share our presentation with their staff!
