Program Description: A significant number of adolescents enter middle
school unable to read and understand complex informational or
narrative text. These students would benefit from a multi-tiered system
of supports that provide responsive reading instruction across tiers of a
Response to Intervention Model. The overall goal of this professional
development session is to provide general and special education
teachers, content area teachers, administrators, and support staff with
foundational knowledge regarding best practices for older students who
struggle to read.
Topics:
• Profile of the Adolescent Struggling Reader
• Responsive Reading Practices Across the Tiers
