Illuminating Text from the Inside Out: Using Text Structure to Improve Comprehension and Writing

Illuminating Text from the Inside Out: Using Text Structure to Improve Comprehension and Writing

Come join us at the AJ Palumbo Hall of Science and Technology, Carlow University. Text structure is the gateway to comprehension. In this immersive workshop, participants will learn evidence-aligned practices that emphasize and integrate a systematic and structured way to effectively teach text structures as a means of accessing and producing text. Participants will explore the energy of text structure at work through interactive reading and writing experiences. Both teacher and student examples will be examined and shared to support the transference of new learning into practice!

Boxed lunch will be provided. Act 48 Credits are available.
