Event summary

62% of the audience considers that their students do not read for pleasure and 3 out of 4 teachers think that working in a transdisciplinary way is key to improving reading comprehension.

During this event, two experts in literacy put together strategies to improve reading comprehension according to age, focusing on the importance of reading in the development of all skills and as a predictor of school success.

Strategies

The speakers explore three basic moments in the development of reading comprehension: the reading prerequisites, the development and improvement of the reading technique, and the acquisition of the habit and pleasure for reading. Through this journey, they share methodologies and techniques for learning first and second languages, always from a transdisciplinary approach.

Finally, the question of how to measure reading comprehension is addressed through routines and thinking skills such as the 3-2-1-Bridge, the writing of headlines, and the compare and contrast exercise.
