This is a fast-paced, hands-on, activity-based professional development workshop where participants learn strategies that struggling readers can immediately apply to practice what good readers do naturally, which is pay attention to every word, read with a high rate of accuracy, and use strategies for attacking unfamiliar single-syllable and multisyllabic words.

This workshop will provide tools that can help schools build strong literacy foundations in early grades and help remediate decoding issues in upper elementary, middle, and high school students. While the focus is on instruction, quick and easy diagnostic assessments and an online data-based grouping system will also be discussed.
