Have you often wondered how to help students in your classroom who can’t seem to access your content? For students with poor reading skills, trying to keep up often feels overwhelming. Research shows that the teacher can make a difference at the secondary level to increase learning. Using secondary Social Studies and ELA standards, participants will practice embedding word recognition, vocabulary and comprehension strategies into their lessons in order to support their struggling readers.
Presenter(s): Elsa Iglesias and Liz Massey from Buncombe County Schools will be your presenters. Elsa is currently the EC Curriculum and Instructional Specialist for Buncombe County Schools, and currently provides PD for teachers in reading and math in her county. Liz Massey is the Multi Tiered System of Support (MTSS) Coordinator of Buncombe County Schools and a Literacy Specialist trained in the Science of Reading.
