Foundational Reading Skills For K-2
I am working a university on revising/creating a M. Ed. program that is going to be offered for elementary classroom teachers who are interested in becoming master reading teachers.

What areas, topics, competencies would you suggestion be considered?

What is an effective intervention strategy for students struggling with reading comprehension for early readers?
An effective intervention strategy for students struggling with reading comprehension for early readers includes explicit instruction that focuses on fluency. Fluency is often misunderstood as it is about the accuracy and automaticity in word recognition and prosody (meaningful expression), therefore, it includes the ability to demonstrate the understanding of the meaning of text by the way it is read aloud. Utilizing the Voice Jar (voices) and repeated readings will help students build skills necessary to become proficient readers.
