COURSE DESCRIPTION
The presentation will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. Understanding the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide assessment, instruction, and intervention. Studies consistently show that the most commonly used intervention approaches provide limited benefits for at-risk and struggling readers. However, other studies have shown that some approaches can yield very large reading gains for such students. Once we understand how reading works and why some students struggle, the reasons for this pattern of intervention findings become clear. The focus is on establishing a knowledge base for educators to choose the most effective assessment, instructional, and intervention practices.
