About this Course
Choosing the right books for learners with reading difficulties can sometimes feel like a maze. We hear about the importance of using phonics and decodable books, but there are also coloured book bands, and what about when these learners progress from phonics? Then there’s the huge issue of disengagement; most books which these learners can read well are too young for them. They lose self esteem and motivation. How do we navigate this maze?
This one hour training course provides explanations and examples of the different ways in which books are levelled, when and why these different levelling systems are used, and how to choose books purposefully and accurately so that your learners succeed. You’ll be shown how to take a very simple running record to determine whether a book is at the right level, and how to use the “Efficacious Four” method of checking comprehension.
