Dr. Julia Lindsey, Ph.D., will be joining us once again at CESD on December 10 (NEW DATE), from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Teaching Older Students to Read Words: Did you know that research estimates that 85% or more of students with comprehension challenges also have word recognition needs in grades 3+? Sometimes, these needs are quite significant. In this session, we’ll dive deep into how to support older students in learning how to decode words: what is word recognition? What is decoding? How do we identify students who need help – and what are the powerful routines we can use to move them along?
This professional learning session will focus on supporting upper elementary and secondary literacy, exploring evidence-based strategies to develop literacies and empower students to take ownership of their learning.
