Description
Ready for your students to finish a text and actually summarize, discuss, and apply what they learned? Want after-reading routines that turn basic understanding into insight without adding hours of extra work? After reading is where comprehension is strengthened, extended, and transformed, and strong after-reading routines help students synthesize key ideas, reflect on learning, and build knowledge that transfers to new situations. When students create products, discuss ideas, and reflect with structure, they move from remembering to truly understanding. In this course, Mary Lee shares practical after-reading routines and products that help students summarize, analyze, evaluate, and create so they can articulate learning clearly and retain it longer. You will leave with classroom-ready after-reading routines you can use immediately to deepen reading comprehension and make student understanding easier to see and assess.
