When

Wednesday, April 30, 2025 (9-10:30am)

A portion of this workshop will be recorded.

Description

Do you have students who struggle with accurate word recognition skills and/or reading fluency? These skills CAN be assessed and taught! This year’s four-part series targets phonics and fluency for students of all ages. Learn how to identify when students have gaps or confusions in word recognition skills and/or oral reading fluency and how to teach students those missing skills.

Join as many sessions as you can to learn about how to support your students who struggle with learning to read or reading fluently. In each session, the main presentation will be recorded. The last 15 minutes of each session will be an unrecorded time for any questions you prefer to ask at that time.

Topical overview for session 4:

• How to evaluate students’ fluency assessment results
• Identification of specific challenges related to fluency
• Identification of specific challenges for English learners 
• How to provide instruction to meet specific challenges
