Language comprehension is foundational to reading, yet it can feel difficult to define and even harder to teach at scale. It begins with oral language and develops over time, with decoding strengthening the pathway to meaning. While frameworks such as Scarborough’s Reading Rope and the Simple View of Reading highlight its importance, many districts lack a clear, actionable roadmap for building it across classrooms. Research points to specific skills that distinguish strong comprehenders, including vocabulary knowledge, inference making, syntactic processing, background knowledge, self-regulation, and motivation. This edLeader Panel focuses on how these components come together in instruction, with a deeper look at vocabulary and inference-making as high-impact levers for improving comprehension. This edLeader Panel will be of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
