IMPACT Hour: Strategies for Secondary Reading Instruction

At Keep Indiana Learning, we know educators need professional learning that fits into their busy schedules and makes a real difference. With our IMPACT Hours, you’ll get bite-sized professional learning sessions with big results. In just one hour, participants will move through a cycle of learning: identifying needs, seeing strategies modeled, practicing new ideas, applying them to their own work, checking for understanding, and taking back actionable tools for immediate use.

The goals of this IMPACT Hour are to help attendees understand the nature of reading difficulties, review crucial instructional strategies related to word work, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension, and generate a list of practical resources and techniques for classroom integration. The content emphasizes that comprehension is an outcome rather than a skill to be taught directly. 

Who should attend: teachers, coaches, and administrators

What to expect: We will discuss key instructional practices that involve building students' decoding skills for multisyllabic words, providing purposeful fluency practice, routinely using comprehension-building strategies, and ensuring students engage with grade-level, complex text.
