Teaching Strategies

Children who struggle with reading don't seem to need instruction that's different from what children who don't struggle receive. What they do need is more intensive support. No one method will work for all students. The best teachers develop a repertoire of strategies for working with struggling students, many of which are included below. To dig deeper, please see other sections of this web site including Techniques for Teaching Reading Effectively and specific topic areas such as Phonemic Awareness and Phonics and Decoding.
