This course on Teaching Language and Reading Comprehension is for teachers who have already completed the previous the companion course in our curriculum (Teaching Phonological Awareness and Phonics for English). In this course we show you how to develop your students’ comprehension skills for reading, while reading. There are four main skill areas: drawing on background knowledge to build knowledge and understanding, developing vocabulary breadth and depth, being aware of syntax and syntax markers to understand sentences, and being able to look beyond the literal text to infer meaning and buold a mental model of the overall text.

This course is by invitation only for eligible teachers. It is a six week course with five written assignments.  This course is designed for primary and secondary English teachers in Sri Lankan schools, as well as RESC staff, English ADEs, ISAs, and other Master Trainers.
