Helping Struggling Readers
1. Teachers in all content areas must model reading strategies to help struggling readers become independent learners. They should break down assignments, provide vocabulary support, and highlight textbook features. 2. Students can be grouped based on where they sit in the classroom - those in front tend to value education more, those in middle are more pragmatic, and those in back are more at-risk and disengaged. 3. There are five key areas of reading instruction supported by research: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension. Teachers must explicitly teach these skills and strategies.
