Presentation 1: Research and practice have helped to establish crucial elements that must be present for Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions to be successful with struggling adolescent readers. Ensuring these key components are included within the implementation of a structured literacy program helps schools and teachers deliver on the promise of reading growth for our most at risk students. This session will focus on four features necessary for a powerful and successful implementation of Tier 2 and 3 reading interventions in the context of MTSS. Presentation 2:It is not surprising that many struggling adolescent readers are burdened with low levels of motivation directed towards classroom settings. The good news is successful comprehensive reading interventions can help to improve student motivation and reading by applying structured literacy and positive classroom management principles simultaneously. In this session, participants will learn the key components for keeping a structured literacy program motivating for older students.
