This is a must for all teachers of reading!
To be effective teachers, we must understand not just WHAT we are doing, but WHY we are doing it.
This class provides you with powerful foundational knowledge about the Five Components of Reading. Beginning with the research-based evidence from the National Reading Panel, the class incorporates effective strategies for helping students develop skills in each component.
