Summary - Targeted Instruction and Interventions with Reading Strategy Groups P26.4446. Online registration by Cvent

Are you searching for new and innovative ways to target reading instruction and interventions? If so, look no further because reading strategy groups are specifically designed to do just this. Strategy groups are a type of small group instruction which enable teachers to target specific reading skills that particular groups of students need, regardless of their independent reading level. The course begins by discussing the elements and benefits of reading strategy groups. Since strategy groups are based on assessment, the course delves into a variety of assessment types and approaches. Throughout the course, teachers learn how to use research-based best practices to choose strategies, books, and activities for before, during, and after reading. Teachers will also learn specific reading strategies for working with English language learners and those who struggle with reading. Teachers will learn how to build students’ stamina and engagement as they work to become successful, independent readers. Teachers will learn the importance of relying on the science of reading as they work with their students across all areas of reading. By the end of this course, teachers will feel more confident and successful in their quest to embed best practices into their own small reading strategy groups.
