Reading is a complex activity made up of two interdependent processes. A skilled reader combines word recognition and language comprehension to make meaning of text. Years of research have identified the theory and practice of teaching reading and understanding the cognitive processes that are imperative for successful reading acquisition is important for all educators. This training will cover the components identified in the research to implement effective reading practices in all grade levels.
This hybrid training; including both Zoom sessions and asynchronous modules conducted independently, will cover developing foundational literacy skills through oracy, phonological awareness, understanding the six syllable types that support decoding and encoding, building fluency, understanding the components of basic comprehension, and the elements that are needed to develop critical reading comprehension.
