Talk About Understanding:
Rethinking Classroom Talk to Enhance Comprehension
A Heinemann PD One-Day Workshop for Grades K–8
Ellin Oliver Keene demystifies comprehension instruction by describing how teachers can
ensure that readers comprehend deeply and how teachers can modify their oral language to
enhance deep comprehension. Ellin is author of To Understand: New Horizons in Reading
Comprehension and coauthor of Mosaic of Thought and Comprehension Going Forward. This
workshop, based on her ground-breaking book Talk About Understanding, allows you to engage
in a dialogue with Ellin as she models reading instruction strategies.
Do your students understand their reading as deeply as they need to? Are you doing everything
you can to enhance deep comprehension? Ellin will show you what it can look like when readers
comprehend deeply and what it can look like when teachers aim for deep comprehension.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use language and teaching moves that help students go beyond superficial reading comprehension
to lasting understanding in reading and throughout the content areas. Throughout the day, Ellin will share the guiding principles,
teaching suggestions, and carefully described outcomes which are the basis of her latest book to help you teach your students how to
comprehend, thoroughly and eagerly, the varied and complex texts in the world around us.
