Why This Session Matters
Students are often taught to read deeply and holistically, yet they are most frequently assessed through multiple-choice questions that reward precision, focus, and efficiency. This disconnect can lead even capable readers to overanalyze, second-guess, and miss questions they otherwise understand.
This one-hour professional learning session examines how reading comprehension is assessed through multiple-choice questions and offers a clear, practical approach for aligning instruction with that reality—without sacrificing rigor or thoughtful reading. With midyear assessments and spring testing approaching, this session offers strategies teachers can use immediately.
Who This Session Is For
