Strong inquiry doesn’t happen by accident — it’s designed. Rooted in the Science of Reading, true comprehension happens when students actively synthesize knowledge through structured inquiry and writing. In this session, explore how to build compelling questions and structure an inquiry arc that moves students through evidence toward deeper understanding. Discover low-stakes writing routines that help students “think on paper,” lock in complex vocabulary, and turn background knowledge into durable comprehension. Designed for K–12 social studies, these approaches strengthen the architecture behind every inquiry and are ready to use on Monday.
