Having struggling readers in the classroom isn’t fun for anyone.
When teachers have a number of students reading below grade level it can be very frustrating. It can bring down teacher morale, especially if there is a lack of knowledge and instructional resources needed to get the job done.
At Becoming a Reader we support teachers with trainings and material to help close students’ reading gaps.
The Foundational Skills Academy™ brings together the reading research and step by step framework for closing your students’ reading gaps.
As a former teacher, instructional coach and founder of Becoming a Reader, Lori knows firsthand what it is like to feel overwhelmed with having a class full of students who struggle to read.
In her 25+ year career, she learned six components that must be in place to bring struggling readers to grade level.
