For an intervention, we need to determine what struggling readers most need. Teachers and specialist should consider available data like curriculum-based measures. After identification, teach targeted reading skills in small group or individually. #READ4384

In a diverse classroom, most students will not have the same background knowledge on a specific topic. A teacher can always find creative ways to implement #backgroundknowledge for all students like having guest speakers or virtual field trips! #READ4384

Teaching text structures can help students make inferences and predictions when engaging with complex informational text.Text features are like road signs for students that signal them to stay on track. #READ4384 #comprehension

Students need repeated exposure and use when learning new vocabulary. A fun strategy to help students interpret literal and figurative meanings is learning animal idioms like, “hold your horses.” #wordconsciousness #READ4384

A fun way to help with #morphology is to model the correct grammar. For example, “she is running.” You would pretend running. #READ4384

Children will inevitably encounter bigger words with increasing grade levels. It is crucial that we teach students how to recognize syllables and morphemes with explicit instruction to be able to decode multisyllabic words. #read4384 #multisyllabicwords

Fluency builds a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. Students are able to focus on the text instead of decoding. #READ4384 #fluency

When ELL’s have the opportunity to develop academic skills in their native language while also building skills in another language, it is proven to lead to greater academic achievement! Unfortunately dual language instruction is not always available. #READ4384 #ELL

The Science of Reading helps us understand the cognitive processes that are vital for reading capability. Teaching students to memorize words is limited, but when students learn the sounds of letters, they are able to read! #READ4384 #SoR #ScienceofReading
