In this workshop, educators will explore research-backed strategies to enhance and elevate the reading comprehension skills of English Language Learners (ELLs) through background knowledge and vocabulary instruction. Understanding that vocabulary alone is insufficient for comprehension, this workshop highlights the crucial role of background knowledge – the “missing piece” of the comprehension puzzle. Participants will explore the interplay between background knowledge and vocabulary development, learning how these elements work together to unlock deeper comprehension for ELLs. Practical techniques for integrating these insights into classroom instruction will be shared, ensuring that educators can immediately apply what they’ve learned.
