Classroom teachers work with a wide range of students with a variety of abilities and needs. The application of reading remediation techniques is critical to ensuring that the unique needs of each student are being met. Knowledge of a wide range of research-based reading remediation strategies is a must for today’s classroom teachers.

You have been asked to create a resource that could be used as part of a professional development session focused on research-based reading interventions and remediation for a group of first-year teachers in your grade band (K-2, 3-5, 6-8). The resource could be a 3-5 minute video or podcast or a 10-12 slide digital presentation. The resource should address the following:

Identify the grade band for which the presentation is intended.

Explain the difference between an intervention and remediation, including an example of each.

Identify two common reading assessments that can be administered to students in the grade band. Explain the type of data that would be produced from each assessment and how that information could be used to determine appropriate remediation strategies.

Identify two reading remediation resources, including at least one technology-based or online resource.

Describe reading remediation settings and when each is most appropriate for a student.

Describe two reading remediation strategies that could be used with students, including one that is multisensory. Explain the results you would expect to see from implementing each strategy.

Identify two at-home reading remediation strategies that teachers could recommend. Include a discussion of any special training, data tracking, or reporting steps that would be necessary for the parent to complete.

Support this assignment with 2-3 resources.
