Event Description

Lunch & Learn: Addressing the Needs of Older Readers​

Join us for an engaging session where we'll delve into the unique challenges and effective strategies for providing reading interventions for students in grades 4 and above.

Educators will connect, share insights, and deepen their understanding of what research indicates works best for meeting the urgent needs of this population of students. 

Our discussion will be grounded in the article Reading Science Considerations for Middle and High School Literacy Intervention by Stephanie Petricone-Turchetta. 

Additionally, we will review and explore The Reading League's Adolescent Reading Intervention Evaluation Guidelines tool. This comprehensive tool provides a robust framework that can be adapted and applied to evaluating interventions for older readers, sparking ideas for assessment and instruction.

Come prepared to share your experiences, ask questions, and contribute to a collaborative learning environment.
