AE Live! Teacher Professional Development Events - AE Live 8.1: Promoting Reading Fluency with the ACTIVE Framework

This session introduces a pedagogical framework for EFL reading. The ACTIVE reading framework suggests that six components can be part of reading instruction: A: Activate prior knowledge C: Cultivate vocabulary T: Teach for comprehension I: Increase reading rate V: Verify reading strategies E: Evaluate progress The session will focus specifically on ways that teachers can curricularize reading fluency by building readers' comprehension skills and reading rate. Participants will have the opportunity to consider how these elements can be integrated into their philosophy of teaching EFL reading.
