Description:
How important is it that we help our students develop comprehension and discernment? Remember the account in Acts 8 of a man from Ethiopia? He was reading Isaiah but couldn’t understand what he read. God sent Philip to help him with reading comprehension. Good thing, too, as it lead to the Ethiopian’s salvation. Comprehension is crucial to our students—spiritually and academically. Teaching children to understand should not be an add-on concept, but the core of our instruction. Come discover powerful ways to teach children to read for understanding and discernment.
