This workshop is designed to help teachers develop a deeper understanding of the "code" and to get excited about working with struggling readers in grades 2-12.
Why attend? The evidence is clear; an overwhelming number of peer reviewed documents have linked strong decoding to fluent and accurate reading. Too many students are failing to acquire the skills they need to become efficient and effective readers.
What will participants learn? Participants will leave with immediate strategies to help your elementary and secondary struggling readers practice what good readers do naturally, which is pay attention to every word, read with a high rate of accuracy, and use strategies for attacking unfamiliar, complex content area and multi-syllable words.
