Myth Busting! 4 Misconceptions About Literacy Learning in Upper Grades

Ready to bust some myths about older learners? Katie takes four misconceptions to the lab for some serious debunking.

MYTH #1: Older learners have foundational reading skills. The problem is comprehension.

MYTH #2: Foundational literacy materials are too juvenile for older learners.

MYTH #3: Older learners aren’t motivated to learn to read.

MYTH #4: Older learners will fall behind in grade-level standards if they focus on foundational reading skills.

With evidence-based practices and real-life examples from her years of teaching, Katie explains how you can help students in grades four and above build foundational reading skills to set them up for reading success.
