Reading is difficult to teach because it is hard to know how the process of learning to read works. It is hard to map out a process that is automatic for most. However, 30% of students do not automatically learn to read. Reading is such an essential skill that to fail 30% of students when it comes to reading instruction is very detrimental to their future. To help all students succeed with reading, including the 30% of students that struggle with reading, reading instruction needs to take an explicit, step-by-step approach.
To help teachers and parents understand the recent research and findings in teaching reading, Reading Horizons is hosting a webinar which will compile recent research in reading instruction and how it fits into the new Reading Horizons v5 reading program.
Next Thursday, May 27th, Reading Horizons curriculum director, Heidi Hyte, will present on webinar titled: “Research Supporting the New Features of Reading Horizons v5.”
