Within the 5 Pillars of Reading Instruction, comprehension is the ultimate goal. Find out why and get support in your implementation of the science of reading at #CompCON: smekenseducation.com/get-started/co…

While themes convey an author's message about universal truths or life lessons, students often mistake broad topics as the theme. To bridge this gap, model how to generate a theme statement using a 4-step process.

What a great day at Immanuel Lutheran School! I loved modeling lessons for the teachers! We found the BEST text evidence in 4th grade, worked on adding details to our writing in K, used summary pyramids in Jr High, & worked on staying on topic in 2nd grade using Cheerios!
It’s a blessing to work with @SmekensEd . When we know better, we do better! #CompCON
"CompCON is one of the most intentional conferences in my 22 years of education." Hear from Amy why every educator needs to experience #CompCON! smekenseducation.com/get-started/co…
