| dc.description.abstract | Nature-based settings have a positive influence on the intellectual, physical, social and emotional development of children providing an engaging and authentic context for children to engage in learning. In this project I explore how nature-based learning can specifically support the growth of reading comprehension and critical literacy skill development. The current literature on experiential learning, reading engagement, and critical literacy identifies several factors that support the growth of reading comprehension and critical literacy skills that can be applied to nature-based settings. These findings are presented in a two-part workshop with a practical, hands-on component that supports teachers in utilizing nature-based settings for reading comprehension and critical literacy skill development. | en_US |
