Grade Level: Grade 4+
Do you wonder where to begin when some of your older students struggle to read? Ready to take your reading instruction to the next level?
As a follow-up to the workshop SORing After Primary (presented at the August 2023 Educator's Institute), this presentation will further promote an understanding of literacy instruction. Join us as we dive deeper into instruction that supports reading fluency and comprehension in Grades 4-12+, using evidence-based practices and strategies rooted in the Science of Reading.
Topics discussed during this webinar will include: word study beyond the primary years, morphemic awareness, decoding fluency, sentence-level work, and reading comprehension.
