USING GRAMMAR TO IMPROVE WRITTEN EXPRESSION AND READING COMPREHENSION
$39.95
In this webinar, Lynn Givens, developer of the Connect to Comprehension program and OGOA course, will answer the following questions and will also provide participants with a basic understanding of the various aspects of grammar: parts of speech, mechanics, sentence structure and usage.
Covered in this webinar:
- What are some important new ideas about teaching grammar?
- How can teaching students about parts of speech lead to improved writing skills? How can this instruction and practice positively affect reading comprehension?
- What are some strategies for making instruction and practice in mechanics more meaningful and effective?
- Why is knowledge of sentence structure so critical in both comprehending and writing increasingly complex sentences? How can we best teach our students about this component?
- What are the most important elements of correct usage to teach our students?
Participants will receive a FREE Fables for Fluency eBook and a FREE Multisyllable Myths eBook included in this purchase!
We will identify the critical elements to be learned and how these can be taught most effectively to dyslexic students. We will also explain how each of these aspects can be applied to foster improvement in both reading and writing, as students learn to expand, combine and deconstruct sentences using grammatical principles.
Lynn will be sharing up-to-date research, as well as many handouts and takeaways to use in the classroom.
