Dr. Brown will be unfolding why students who struggle with reading often have deficits in the area of reading comprehension.
The webinar will cover: a brief description of the research base and a review of the literature on main idea and summarization instruction. As well as presenting results from a main idea and summarization reading intervention study implemented in an alternative high school setting to improve comprehension of expository text. An overall takeaway would be providing participants a scaffolded instructional strategy to teach struggling readers main idea and summarization skills.
