NM PED 2026 Literacy and Humanities Summer Conference

Designing instruction to support reading comprehension can be a daunting task. This session introduces a Comprehension Framework designed to support the planning and implementation of instruction that attends to the language strands of Dr. Scarborough’s Reading Rope.

Attendees will utilize a sample text to practice planning and implementing effective comprehension instruction using this structured approach. The framework enables diverse learners across all grades to access grade-level-appropriate text while strengthening vocabulary, background knowledge, syntax, and more. You will leave with a clear process for ensuring your instructional design aligns with the necessary components for skilled reading.
