## Resource

Maybe you’ve seen it in your classroom: Students who zip through chapters but then can’t tell you much about what they just read. To move those kids from fluency to sense-making, you’ve got to teach them the habits of good independent readers. In this episode of School of Practice, educator and literacy specialist Nina Parrish walks us through evidence-based strategies that keep kids focused as they tackle challenging texts—from pre-reading tactics that make vocabulary stick and activate prior knowledge, to active reading protocols that turn kids into engaged, metacognitive readers who are always asking themselves, “Did I really understand that?” Related resources: Learn more about this episode 5 Ways to Support Students Who Struggle With Reading Comprehension 5 Research-Backed Ways to Build Better Readers 4 Reading Strategies to Retire This Year (Plus 6 to Try Out!)
