Teaching and Assessment of Comprehension Processes with an

Emphasis on Learning through Dialogue

The workshop on Teaching and Assessment of Comprehension Processes with an Emphasis on Learning Through Dialogue will support participating educators in improving primary aged children's ability to use various comprehension processes such as close reading, predicting, questioning, summarising, clarifying, visualising, self-monitoring and reflection through the use of various dialogic strategies. Teachers will also examine ways by which to identify their students' reading and comprehension skills and explore how dialogic strategies can be used to improve areas of weakness and build upon strengths.

Outcomes:

1. Understand key theory and research on comprehension processes for primary school students
2. Discuss and critique practical dialogic strategies for developing comprehension processes
3. Discuss and critique strategies for assessing primary aged children's use of comprehension processes
