GFESC Online Book Study: Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties



Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties, by David A. Kilpatrick, Ph.D., offers school psychologists, reading specialists, and educators a practical and accessible guide to the most relevant research, information, and strategies available for understanding, assessing, and intervening with students who present with reading difficulties. 
Educators are encouraged to delve into the concepts of each chapter and discover ways this content should change how we approach reading instruction to match The Science of Reading.  The questions and conversations will create a rich discussion of each chapter, looking especially at methods for approaching reading difficulties in classrooms and schools.  
This online book study will open on June 1st and run through August 7th, and completion will provide 18 hours of professional development. Each week participants will read one-two chapters while answering a question regarding the content of the chapters and responding to other participants in an online format.   One of the greatest benefits of online book studies over the last few years has been the conversations between participants, so responding to other participants’ posts will also be required.
