Program Description
The presentation will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. This knowledge will be used to design more educationally relevant assessments and to guide intervention recommendations. Studies consistently show that the most commonly used reading interventions provide limited benefits. However, research has also shown that there are approaches that yield very large and sustained reading gains for weak readers.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will understand how typical readers learn to read and why many students do not develop these skills.
- Participants will learn how to craft an evaluation designed to understand precisely why a student struggles in reading that will lead to meaningful intervention suggestions.
- Participants will become aware of the most effective forms of intervention for poor word-level reading skills.
