Boosting Comprehension Through Empathy (via Edutopia)

7/18/2017

Empathy is a topic that was repeatedly part of conversation at the 2017 ILA convention in Orlando, FL this weekend.  It is a topic that is timely, relevant, and necessary.  About a year ago, I wrote a post on Edutopia discussing how empathy and reading comprehension can intersect.  Discussing and practicing empathy in the classroom is a practice that benefits both teachers and students, and it reaches into both the social-emotional and academic experiences of a classroom community.  It provides a lens through which to view peers, texts, and the world at large.  Take a look at this post for ideas on how to use empathy to boost comprehension.  If you give any of these ideas a try, I would love to hear from you!
