Four Types of Readers
Presented by Mica Byrum - 95 Percent Group 
By identifying whether a student demonstrates accuracy and fluency when reading a passage, an educator is able to categorize   the intervention needs of the student. Participants will: learn the four types of reading behavior present in every classroom, identify student needs in each of the four categories, and discuss instructional practices to improve reading.
​The target audience for this session is teachers of 1st-5th grade students. 
Getting Kids to Read the Words on the Page
Presented by Sandy Dossett - iSteps, LLC  
By the time students reach upper elementary grades and middle school, we usually assume they have learned the basics of reading, but what happens if they haven't.  How do we support students in the classroom that don't have foundational skills?     Learn some functional strategies that can be used in the classroom with students on Monday.
​The target audience for this session is teachers of 4th-8th grade students.
