Learn the research-based reading techniques that teachers have been looking for! This webinar will present the most highly effective approaches to word-level reading difficulties, which can help struggling readers regardless of their particular disability category. Reported in top journals by established teams of researchers, these approaches allowed students to build a large sight vocabulary and often closed the gap with their typically developing peers. After this webinar, you will be able to: 

1) Understand typical reading development, specifically how students make unfamiliar words into familiar words, which boosts fluency. 

2) Understand the most effective ways to prevent reading difficulties. 

3) Identify the most effective methods for correcting reading difficulties, regardless of a students' disability classification.
