The category of “struggling readers” is broad. Since reading is a complex task, there are multiple reasons why students might struggle.
During this webinar, Dr. Gene Kerns (Author, Literacy Reframed; VP and Chief Academic Officer, Renaissance Learning) and Dr. Julie Vogel (National Education Officer, Renaissance Learning) will focus on “older students” – Grade 4 and up -- those who should have progressed past the “learning to read” phase to one of “reading to learn” and the unique challenges of addressing their needs when something has gone wrong.
Topics for exploration include the following:
· The most common profiles of struggling readers
· Research on and recommendations about interventions
· Special consideration for the differing needs of English Language Learners
· Critical considerations about motivation
· What every teacher can do to support struggling older readers
