What Works Clearinghouse Practice Guide on Providing Reading Interventions to Grades 4-9
Dr. Kim St. Martin, Dr. Russell Gersten, and Dr. Sharon Vaughn review recent reading intervention research and share practical strategies and recommendations for educators. This webinar is in collaboration with the National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) and the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).
Here's what you’ll learn:
- Strategies to build decoding skills so students can read complex multisyllabic words
- How to provide purposeful fluency-building activities to help students read effortlessly
- The importance of routinely using a set of comprehension-building practices to help students understand the text.
- How to support students with opportunities to practice making sense of challenging text that will expose them to complex ideas and information.
These recommendations will be useful for special educators, general education teachers, reading specialists/coaches, administrators, and parents. Each recommendation includes research-based strategies and examples for implementing these recommendations. The panelists also answered live Q&A during the webinar.
