In this session, we’ll explore how Google NotebookLM can act as a bridge between decoding and deep understanding for students in the critical grades 3–5 window. You’ll learn to use this tool to design targeted reading scaffolds—such as vocabulary primers with age-appropriate metaphors and tiered comprehension questions—using only your specific lesson materials. By the end of this training, you’ll be able to create custom resources that lower the cognitive load for your students, helping them move from simply reading words to truly grasping complex ideas.
