This course doesn’t offer any strategies for helping students to comprehend content. It just explains the underlying needs. It is intended for middle school and high school teachers – not primary.

I really enjoy Katherine’s courses-especially because they get right to the point. She does a great job explaining what’s necessary for teachers to establish the building blocks of reading. In fact, I’ve tried to take as many of her courses as I can. I always enjoy them and I always feel like I can take something from them. I’m glad I have access to these courses.
