Fri, December 5, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, Floor: Mezzanine Floor, Celebrity Ballroom 8

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

Recommendations for reading interventions for older readers include building students’ multisyllabic decoding skills, fluency, word and world knowledge, and ability to use a set of comprehension-building practices. There is a need for feasible and effective interventions that implement these recommendations to support older students’ reading growth. This symposium presents evidence from interventions targeting multisyllabic decoding and encoding, morphology, fluency, vocabulary, syntactic knowledge, and reading comprehension for upper-elementary and middle school students.
