If a child is struggling with phonics, is the issue really phonics - or do we need to go back and look at their phonemic awareness skills? If a student can't comprehend, is it truly a comprehension issue, or do they struggle with word recognition or vocabulary? This 90-minute session looks deeply at how to use assessment to get to the root cause of our readers' struggles to be able to provide them with targeted instruction that helps them soar. 

We'll also talk about effective small grouping, as well as how to support our secondary students.

This session is ideal for parents, teachers, administrators, tutors, and anyone who wants to give students the most effective support in their literacy acquisition.
