Instructional Access for ALL Series
Lead4Ward! Presents: STAAR Success for Struggling Readers and Writers




This series offers FOUR onsite, interactive sessions developed to enhance educator and leader practices by:

  • implementing intentional intervention routines as part of specially designed instruction that prioritize high-impact reading, writing, and math concepts and processes for students in both elementary and secondary settings. 
  • integrating evidence-based instructional practices to support access to grade level texts, writing in response to text, as well as understanding grade level math concepts and word problem solving.
  • implementing practical strategies to help students access, make meaning from, and write about text above their independent reading level.
  • exploring lead4ward resources to integrate with district instructional resources and tools.
  • practical approaches that reduce frustration, build resilience, and boost confidence with testing.

Important Session Information:


Presented by Lead4Ward! 

The STAAR reading language arts assessment can be challenging for students with disabilities—and frustrating for the educators who support them. When students struggle with fluent reading, traditional comprehension strategies often fall short. In this session, participants will explore a practical approach to help students access and make meaning from text above their independent reading level in the context of assessment. We will learn how to teach students to “attack” challenging passages by maximizing available designated supports and applying strategies that promote understanding and confidence. You will also gain tools to help students understand and effectively respond to extended constructed response prompts, using what they know to communicate clearly and strategically. Walk away with approaches that reduce frustration, build resilience, and boost confidence with the test. (Seats are limited to 100)
