Toolkit for Struggling Readers: A Pre-K-12 Resource for Readers of all Varieties
The Toolkit For Struggling Readers: A Guide for Educators was designed by educators from across the state of Utah including state specialists, university professors, teachers, administrators, and coaches. This toolkit was created to support schools and classroom teachers in providing high quality, effective instruction for struggling elementary and adolescent and readers. The toolkit focuses on four key areas: (1) assessment, (2) instruction, (3) curriculum, and (4) student motivation. Within each area, general information and specific resources are provided to support educators in structuring, designing, and facilitating a reading class to best support struggling adolescent readers. The recommendations, tools, and strategies are based on evidence of their effectiveness in improving student achievement outcomes. As such, incorporation of the components represented in the toolkit may provide invaluable support for organizing effective reading classes. Although the focus of the toolkit tends to lean toward adolescents, the material is reflective for students of all ages.
- By the end of the session, participants will understand how the resources within this toolkit will support educators in providing reading intervention that will enable students to acquire the skills they are missing and advance their skills significantly, which in turn will improve their overall academic success.
- By the end of this session, participants will understand the procedures for using assessment to inform instructional decisions. A flow chart is presented in the toolkit to show the steps for using assessment in the process of providing reading services.
- By the end of this session, participants will understand how this resource provides tools for phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills instruction to help schools self-evaluate and develop different aspects of their curriculum.
