Why Aren’t Your Older Students Learning How to Read?

Traditionally, educators have associated foundational literacy instruction with young learners. Understandably so, as most of their training focuses on developing these critical skills in primary students. Consequently, many educators find themselves unprepared to teach older learners how to read effectively. To empower educators and boost their confidence in influencing the literacy journeys of older learners, we’re dispelling four common myths about literacy for older students and sharing solutions to overcome these perceived hurdles:

  • Myth #1: Foundational Skills vs. Comprehension
  • Myth #2: Age-Appropriate Materials
  • Myth #3: Motivation
  • Myth #4: Grade-Level Standards
