The Reading Comprehension Blueprint, a master plan for effective comprehension instruction, identifies vocabulary as a critical contributor to constructing meaning of texts. Get a practical framework for vocabulary instruction in this live virtual workshop presented by Nancy Hennessy and Julia Salamone, the experts behind the Blueprint!
Perfect for K-8 educators, this engaging workshop aligns with and expands on the vocabulary content in the bestselling books The Reading Comprehension Blueprint (Hennessy) and The Reading Comprehension Blueprint Activity Book (Hennessy & Salamone). You’ll explore why vocabulary knowledge goes far beyond just knowing the definition of a word—and how deeper levels of word meaning help students better understand their complex academic texts. Through the Blueprint, Hennessy & Salamone will offer you a comprehensive framework and concrete strategies for both intentional and incidental vocabulary instruction. Take this knowledge back to the classroom to help your students deepen the vocabulary knowledge they need for academic success!
