Educators, school leaders, and parents recognize the urgent need to identify and support students in middle, and high school who struggle to read. Foundational reading skills and comprehension are often at the heart of reading difficulties and it is crucial to provide instruction that is research-based, respectful, dignified, and age-appropriate to this vulnerable group of students. 


In this engaging and interactive session, participants will: 

  • Unpack the evidence-based strategies within the IES Practice Guides: Providing Reading Interventions
  • Bridge the research to practice by experiencing effective instructional routines within structured literacy lessons
  • Review the essential characteristics of connected texts that engage readers while ensuring appropriate practice leading to mastery of critical skills
Audience: Grades 6-12 ELA / Reading teachers and instructional coaches
