OVERVIEW

Target Audience: Secondary Teachers

Presenter:  Pam Kastner

No student should leave school a poor reader. This series empowers secondary content teachers with practical strategies to support literacy—particularly vocabulary instruction—without needing to become reading specialists. Ideal for middle and high school educators, these sessions are especially effective when used by school teams. You'll explore research-based tools to strengthen comprehension across disciplines, including morphology instruction and peer-feedback routines.
