Emphasis on sentence-level instruction is critical to bridge the word-to-text gap for reading and writing. The PaTTAN webinar focuses on the relationships between words, sentences, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Explicit instruction can capitalize on and foster these relationships through purposeful selection of words, texts, and instructional activities. By utilizing effective instructional practices at the sentence level, K-12 educators can facilitate text comprehension and writing based on the text material use in their instructional settings.

Comprehension is deeply impacted by syntax. I think about the best ways to expose students to increasingly more sophisticated sentences, but still working to provide targeted instruction of sentence structure. It really is a reciprocal relationship between sentence structure/ complexity and comprehension.
