The presentation discusses strategies to increase phonics instruction for struggling readers through small group learning and collaboration between teachers.

The presentation discusses that some reasons for the reading gap include lack of foundational skills and not enough time spent on reading support. Small group learning and extra support can help address this.

The presentation lists several supports available for students including whole group learning, small group learning, 1:1 support, WIN time, iReady reading and parent support.

Why do we experience a
reading gap
in reasons
● Discuss some second why. grade?

● What can we do?


What reading support do our
students have available to
them?
● Whole group learning
● Small group learning
● 1:1 support by teacher
● WIN with Title 1 Interventionist
● iReady reading
● Parent Support
● Anything else?
What can we control?
● Whole group direct teaching
● Small group intervention/
Reading groups
● 1:1 support

Let’s make strategic changes within the limited time we have.


Discuss

What are some phonics strategies you already use and/or


are familiar with to support struggling readers?
Collaboration is Key
● What are students focusing on in WIN?
● Title 1 Interventionist input:
○ Basic code knowledge of language
○ Some letters/vowels make more than one sound
○ Direct teaching and repetition
○ WIN (20 minutes) is not enough
Discuss

In what ways have you observed the same or


different struggles amongst our struggling readers
as our Title 1 Interventionist has observed?
