Live Online Webinar on effective strategies to develop critical reading

HELP YOUR PUPILS MOVE FROM READING WORDS TO UNDERSTANDING MEANING Many students can read a text. Far fewer truly understand it. They read the words, but struggle to: ◾connect ideas ◾interpret meaning ◾respond thoughtfully ◾engage with what they read ◾read with confidence, especially in a second language As teachers, this can feel frustrating. You explain, you model, you ask questions… Yet some learners still stay on the surface. The good news is that reading comprehension can be taught, and it can be taught effectively when pupils are given the right support before, during, and after reading. This live webinar will give you practical, proven strategies to help your learners become active, confident, and critical readers. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS SESSION During this interactive webinar, you will discover classroom-tested approaches that help pupils: ✔ Understand texts more deeply ✔ Build the background knowledge needed for successful reading ✔ Develop the thinking skills required for critical reading ✔ Respond to texts with more confidence and independence ✔ Stay engaged and motivated during reading activities ✔ Succeed even when working in an additional language You will leave the session with concrete tools you can use immediately in your classroom.
