Abstract
Comprehension is a critical piece of literacy, requiring multiple skills and resulting in improved understanding across all subject areas. It can be strengthened through the use of specific strategies. During this session, participants will understand how comprehension develops and examine retelling as a key strategy for increasing comprehension skills. Retelling can be both a measure of comprehension and a way to hone specific comprehension skills, which will be mapped out using Scarborough’s Rope as a guide. Participants will watch a sample lesson, hear various ways to use retelling with both fiction and nonfiction, and analyze texts in their upcoming unit to identify ways they can use retelling in their classroom.
