About RRC
RRC (Results for Reading Comprehension) shines a spotlight on effective reading comprehension instruction through the lens of an assets-based pedagogy.
In this institute we will focus on the central role that reading comprehension plays in developing academic literacy by guiding teachers in creatively thinking about and choosing appropriate strategies and scaffolds for comprehension of challenging texts.
