Reading Informational Text

A CaPSPD two-day, grade level workshop provided at no cost for private school teachers, presented by the California Department of Education.

Students often struggle with reading informational text. This type of text can be especially difficult to comprehend for beginning readers and English learners who may be unfamiliar with the text structure and academic vocabulary, among other challenges. However, with the adoption of the California state standards and the emphasis on a curriculum that requires all students to read and write more informational text, there is a need to scaffold classroom instruction.

Each grade-level specific, two-day workshop will examine:

  • the exploration of academic vocabulary;
  • close reading;
  • writing from sources
  • comprehension strategies;
  • classroom discourse;
  • the use of technology in literacy; and,
  • strategic models of instruction.
