This session will provide practitioners with the following: ? A clear model of comprehension as defined by the RAND model (Snow et al. 2002) and the Construction-Integration model (Kintsch, 2017) ? How these models of comprehension connect to the USBE core ? An understanding of what comprehension practices typically occur in elementary classrooms ? Practical suggestions for comprehension practices to implement and de-implement ? A roadmap for elevating text-based meaning in the classroom

By providing a clearer understanding of comprehension and pragmatic applications in Tier I settings, this session aims to enhance the teachers’ capacity to promote reading comprehension for all learners.
