Tuesday June 24, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am CDT
Innovate B
The six shifts in bringing the science of reading into a balanced literacy classroom work together in a way that enhances their overall effectiveness. When implemented collectively, they create a stronger, research-based foundation for literacy instruction. The six shifts together bridge the gap between balanced literacy and structured literacy, ensuring students receive both engaging reading experiences and the explicit instruction they need to become proficient readers.

Video Self-Monitoring to Support Reading Fluency and Comprehension
Tuesday June 24, 2025 10:00am - 10:50am CDT
Create A
Looking for ways to support students' needs and close the achievement gap,  school districts have developed systems to monitor student academic progress and provide extra support to assess, monitor, and facilitate interventions that can meet the students where they are, and build on their knowledge and facilitate skills development.  Due to the individual needs, and students' learning styles, differentiated learning and strategies should be implemented to facilitate students abilities and support their learning needs. Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), provides guidelines when it comes to monitor interventions and facilitates differentiated support for students.  With more students in need of Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction, the need for strategies that can facilitate learning, minimize distractions, facilitate student engagement, and maximize instructional time are needed to provide that support that students need. With these in mind the following research questions have been developed.
