(Prerequisite: Comprehension Strategy

Instruction Stage 3)

Chris Witt (all AISWA)

21 November 2018

This course builds on the basic constructing meaning strategies covered in Comprehension
Strategy Instruction (course prerequisite). Advanced Comprehension provides students with
strategies to deepen their thinking, analyse and evaluate text as they read.

This workshop provides participants with:
• a refresher of Stage 3 Comprehension Strategy Instruction

• an understanding of the 5 most important comprehension strategies that help readers interpret
and clarify deeper meaning of text.

• a means for embedding these strategies into their guided reading routine.

• tools that enable students to critically analyse and evaluate narrative and non-fiction text.

The day will begin with refining the Comprehension Strategy Instruction routine followed by the
addition of the Deep Five Strategies. The workshop moves onto investigating the critical analysis
and evaluation of text beyond sentence level.
