Teaching Struggling Readers: Identification, Intervention, and Remediation (Grades K-3)

The focus of this online course is on initial and early identification of these students and then specific intervention strategies to try based on the specific skill deficit. Information includes strategies for English Language Learners and Special Education students. All five key elements are addressed in the courses: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. "Content was very interesting and practical. I feel like I learned many new strategies and found many new ideas I can use right away in the classroom. The online resources were great, very informative and useful." - Patricia Herman      Registration Fee $124        Tell a Friend About PDI Online Courses
