About this programme
Being able to read words aloud does not always mean students can understand, interpret or question a text. This interactive workshop explores practical strategies for developing critical reading and comprehension. Consider how teachers can support students to make meaning, examine information and discuss what they read, then apply the ideas to texts used in your teaching.
