Pathways to Reading
Fri, 05/07/2010 - 11:22am — jaimeh
Pathways to Reading is a teacher training program. Its aim is to help teachers understand research-based knowledge regarding phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension and specific techniques to put this knowledge into application. Teachers learn not only how to teach phonemic awareness and phonics but why and where it fits in the simple view of reading (Gough, Juel & Griffith, 1992): Decoding + Comprehension = Reading. Two beliefs underlie the training: 1) "Scientists now estimate that 95 percent of all children can be taught to read at a level constrained only by their reasoning and listening comprehension abilities." (Fletcher and Lyon, 1998. Reading: A research-based approach. In W. Evers (ed.), What's Gone Wrong in America's Classrooms? Stanford University: Hoover Institution.) 2) The teachers's expertise is the single greatest variable in achieving that goal. (Report by the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, What Matters Most: Teaching for America's Future.) Materials included in the workshop fee.
Dates:
June 16-18, 2010

Time: 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
