Fluent Reading: Research-based teaching approach

  • - There are six necessary components to a Structured Literacy lesson that need to be taught explicitly and systematically.
  • - The brain of a student with Dyslexia functions differently than a "typical reader's" brain.
  • - Multi-sensory instructional techniques need to be a major part of a Structured Literacy lesson for students to retain the information as they raise their reading scores and become more fluent readers.

Session Description

Teaching reading is hard and instruction is more difficult when a student has challenges learning to read. Jennifer Jacobsen explains how the brain of a student with Dyslexia learns and why the traditional instructional approaches do not work for those with Dyslexia. Structured Literacy is the research-based approach Jennifer teaches teachers of all grade levels and in all subject areas what techniques are recommended when teaching reading, so teachers create classrooms full of engaged, more fluent readers by year’s end.
