TARGET AUIDENCE: GRADE 3-9 TEACHERS AND EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND

Join this two-part webinar and learn how to implement a short, daily, research-based remedial reading activity designed to improve fluency, passage comprehension and shift students' mindset toward reading.  Precision Reading enables students from grades three to nine, with low/poor reading abilities, to make progress quickly and efficiently. This reading activity was created by Dr. Rick Freeze, professor at the University of Manitoba, and supports Dr Hattie’s positive effect size (0.67) for repeated reading as a practice that accelerates student learning.

Part 1: An overview of the key insights used to design Precision Reading as well as relevant reading research.

Part 2: Learn how to implement the core strategy, a one-on-one instructional activity that takes less than ten minutes a day to implement. In addition, support strategies, as well as a screening approach to provide formative assessment of students' comprehension, will be demonstrated.
