An effective special educator knows the value of using research-based strategies that empower students and enable them to increase their reading comprehension.
Create a digital presentation, to be used for teacher professional development in an elementary school, which creatively and accurately explains current research on how to develop reading comprehension skills. Your presentation should be 10 slides or more, including a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
Within your presentation, explain each of the following:
Summarize how language development, fluency, and vocabulary are critical to building a student’s capacity to comprehend what he or she reads at a younger age.
