New

Supporting Struggling Adolescent Readers with Dr. Heidi Beverine-Curry Tuesdays - February 24, March 10 & 24 from 4:00 - 5:30 Supporting struggling adolescent readers is vital because many older students lack foundational literacy skills, which limits their academic success and future opportunities. This three-part series will explore evidence-aligned strategies rooted in the science of reading, with a focus on vocabulary development, complex texts, and effective instruction within MTSS frameworks. Participants can expect practical tools, research-backed insights, and actionable steps to transform their approach to adolescent literacy. Session 1: Emphasis on Evidence-Aligned Instruction: Dr. Beverine-Curry advocates for instructional practices grounded in the science of reading. She highlights the importance of phonological awareness, phonics, decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension as foundational elements in reading instruction. She notes that many educators have not been adequately prepared to teach these components, especially at the middle and high school levels. Session 2: Importance of Vocabulary and Complex Texts: In addressing older struggling readers, Dr. Beverine-Curry emphasizes the need to focus on vocabulary-not just pronunciation but also meaning. She advocates for engaging students with complex texts and posing text-dependent questions to enhance comprehension skills. Session 3: Integration of MTSS Frameworks: Dr. Beverine-Curry underscores the significance of MTSS in supporting adolescent literacy. She stresses that effective intervention requires a solid foundation of core instruction. Without quality core instruction, interventions may not yield the desired outcomes.
