Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It): Time is running out, and your upper elementary students may still be missing the critical reading skills they need to succeed. But this mission is not impossible! Join Naomi for a high-stakes, action-packed session that will equip you with the tools, strategies, and intel to stop struggling readers from slipping further behind and help them defy the odds.
You’ll dive deep into the science of reading to:
- Plan and deliver accelerated phonics lessons tailored specifically for older students.
- Harness the power of phonological awareness to unlock comprehension and fluency.
- Decode assessments with laser precision to identify gaps and target interventions where they’re needed most.
With a clear, actionable game plan, you’ll learn how to implement research-backed strategies that bridge the foundational gaps for grades 3–5. These proven techniques are your tools to ignite progress, bridge gaps, and propel your students forward—not just to “catch up,” but to thrive.
The Clock is Ticking: Your students are counting on you to rewrite their reading futures before they head to the next grade. Naomi will show you how to make every second count by leaving ineffective strategies behind and focusing only on what drives real results. This is the mission that can change everything—because failure is not an option! Let’s get this mission accomplished.
Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
