Fall Forum Featured Session
Students who can’t access grade-level text when they reach middle and high school are often so unable to engage in the educational process that they drop out of school. When students fall several grade levels behind in reading, they need teachers who know exactly what to do about it. The strategies shared in this workshop will give participants what they need to quickly make a difference with students who are struggling with decoding text.
