Teaching students who struggle with reading requires a specialized toolkit. A professional development course,Intensifying Structured Literacy Instruction for Struggling Readers, is available to help K–12 classroom teachers, interventionists and special education teachers master Structured Literacy, an approach that uses clear, step-by-step instruction to support all learners, including those with dyslexia. Instead of a “one-size-fits-all” method, you’ll learn how to use student data to build personalized lessons that target specific reading gaps.
The program uses a flexible blended format, featuring both in-person meetings and virtual Zoom sessions. To help you bridge the gap between theory and the classroom, the course also offers four optional on-site coaching sessions. These sessions provide personalized feedback to ensure your instruction is as effective as possible. Ready to sharpen your skills and transform your reading interventions?
