Description
The Google generation has more access to information than any generation prior, but how can they possibly make sense of the fire hydrant of text that greets each query? With the abundance of data available, it is essential that we teach them to decode and understand it. Get strategies to help students synthesize text and put it to good use.
In this course, you will learn:
- To encourage visualization of text
- Strategies to help students comprehend content
- How to build literacy through judicious vocabulary
- How to shape active, independent reading

She was hard to listen to. So many “uh” and “umm” that I lost the core of what she was trying to say and I got easily distracted. I had to skip through a lot of what she was saying, because she took so long getting to her point. I wish I had the option to listen at double speed on some of these training modules.

This is a very informative course, and Katie is a great presenter. This course seems like a good refresher for me. This was filmed almost ten years ago, and I have heard and implemented most of the strategies and resources earlier in my career. An updated version of this would be beneficial.

This course should not be recommended for all elementary teachers. The course is for upper elementary and beyond. The course took over 3 hours. I started at 6:28pm and just finished the last quiz at 9:53pm without stopping for any breaks. There were 12 reflective questions to complete and 3 quizzes as well as a course survey. Please value our time as teachers. The content was good if you teach upper elementary and beyond.
Janet – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –
It was more related to other content areas than ELA itself, but there were good strategies and techniques. I highly recommend this for content-area teachers.
Lee – ECTOR COUNTY ISD (verified owner) –
I’ve done a few of these courses over the last few years for my GT updates, this is hands down the bet one. She’s interesting, has a few goofy jokes, but most importantly this module contains practical strategies to integrate content literacy into multiple academic disciplines.

Esperanza – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –
Presenter provided multiple strategies and examples to use across all subjects through literacy. Many examples and structures of lessons were intermediate/high school level, which I needed to hear how that would look for elementary students.
Joseph – LOS FRESNOS CISD (verified owner) –
All of the links and QR codes were broken and the videos that were necessary for the responses were of very poor quality. Also, the quiz questions for this unit relied on placing words of a sentence into a very specific order, sometimes 40 minutes or more after having heard/seen them. This made the quiz taking process very annoying and frustrating.

Overall the course was great!
