Given the National Assessment of Education Progress results in reading in fourth grade, as well as a multitude of state testing, the United States has developed a serious literacy issue, one that could affect future workforce productivity and even erode the pillars of the country’s democracy itself. While there is a great deal of objective evidence pointing to what good reading instruction is (and is not) the discussion shouldn’t stop there.
This webinar will take the discussion further by outlining the tenets of an evidence-based literacy framework for emerging (K-3) and struggling readers. It has been successfully implemented in schools, both charter and public, with high-risk students (students of significant economic disparity). Learn why a good curriculum is not enough for students who are already showing an achievement gap in their reading and see how a framework’s successful implementation can make a difference.
