Listen "The Reading Wars 3: A Comprehension Story"
Episode Synopsis
Not to give too big of a spoiler, but the film “Rogue One, A Star Wars Story” ends with a very important word: “Hope”.
When we look at literacy instruction and learning, we find “hope” when our striving readers begin to master reading comprehension. This incredibly sought after skill unlocks so many others - reaching far beyond mere recall into analysis, creation, and synthesis.
It doesn’t matter if you’re reading a social studies textbook chapter, “Rosie Revere Engineer” or….say…the schematics used to create the Death Star, perhaps?. Reading comprehension is about bringing together varied skills to transform information on a page into real power….and hope! Stick around while our “ragtag group of rebels” in the GLG discuss another such group -the crew of the “Rogue One” and tie their collaborative mission for crucial comprehension - to our own.
