Having trouble reading...
... in High School ?
Time for a Comprehensive Literacy Plan.
In most school districts, literacy resources are focused at the primary levels for early intervention. Yet, there are many middle and high school students who read below grade level. This deficit impacts every aspect of their learning.
Middle and high school teachers often feel their training and resources are inadequate to address the needs of students whose reading skills impede access to curriculum.
This workshop is a step toward the solution.
