- Morning Session with Dr. Shanahan: How to Improve Reading Achievement
Over the past decade, there has been a great deal of emphasis on improved reading instruction, but reading achievement has not gotten any better. This session focuses on the three key things that educators can do to improve reading achievement: the amounts of reading instruction students need, the key skills they need to be taught, and the quality factors that make a difference in children’s reading. The content of this presentation is drawn from several rigorous analyses of existing research as well as the speaker’s own work in the Chicago Public Schools and elsewhere.
