Supporting Struggling Readers in Middle and High School

The national conversation about aligning the teaching of reading with evidence-based practices has begun to take root in grades K-3. But a growing number of districts are now wondering what to do with their older students who struggle to read. The challenges they face are many: Secondary teachers generally aren’t trained in reading intervention; scheduling is more rigid; and there are far fewer interventionists, professional development providers, and curriculum resources to support teachers.

Join EdWeek journalists, school district leaders, and experts to examine this problem and discuss actionable solutions. Attendees will:
-Understand the policy landscape shaping reading in the United States
-See exclusive data on supporting struggling readers—and the resources educators say they need
-Learn what the research says about interventions with older students
-Hear the experiences of schools that have developed comprehensive plans to address the needs of older readers.
