We all
are different and see our place in the world differently, and this affects our
teaching. Though every teacher is unique, everyone follows certain basic
principles in teaching. This workshop focuses on students’ comprehension as a
way of differentiating between approaches to teaching. The Pyramid of

interactive techniques to make
their lessons brighter.

This workshop will define reading, examine the way we read, look at what we read for, and suggest activities for reading lessons.
