The Use of Visual Imagery and Graphic Organisers to Develop Comprehension Skills (P/PP Teachers) 16.5.2022

This workshop will analyse the dual coding theory and how we think in pictures as opposed to words. The world of comprehension compromises 12 key skills that bring children into the world of using reading to learn. There will be a comprehension lesson modelled using a Venn Diagram and a Picture Book. This webinar will be supported by a resource pack.
