Help teachers maximize learners' comprehension of texts by focusing on reading as a process and implementing reading strategies.
What is reading? Reading as a process. The business of the brain. The eyes look, the brain sees. "Higher - order thinking". Schema theory. Cognitive strategies and reading comprehension.
During the three-hour workshop, teachers will discuss the theoretical content suggested by the coordinator and will experience the benefit of implementing reading strategies to maximise the transaction.
No previous reading is required. Participants will receive a list of suggested bibliography during the workshop.
