Overcoming the Challenge of Secondary Literacy Interventions: Strategies for Success

These system-wide, dedicated efforts can help improve
adolescent reading in your school district.

Reading is a fundamental skill essential to a student’s success throughout their academic career and beyond, but, unfortunately, millions of middle and high school students still struggle with reading long after elementary school is over. While every district wants to help, improving secondary literacy is an enormous challenge, and many systems and structures at the secondary level work against school districts in their efforts to address reading gaps for adolescents.

Attend this webinar to understand the common obstacles that make improving secondary literacy challenging for many districts and learn key strategies for overcoming these barriers to drive improved reading outcomes for middle and high school students.

Many systems and structures at the secondary level work against districts in their efforts to address reading gaps for adolescents. For example:

Are struggling readers in grades 6 through 12 receiving instruction from a teacher highly skilled in teaching adolescents to read?
Do struggling readers in middle and high school have extra time in the school day outside of their content requirements to receive additional reading instruction?
Does your district adjust to meet the individual literacy needs of each student rather than using a standard reading curriculum or program?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, your school or district has the opportunity to create better alignment to help struggling readers at the secondary level. Attend this webinar to learn strategies for overcoming barriers and improving alignment to better support struggling readers in middle and high school.
