Unlocking Success for Struggling Adolescent Readers

The Science of Reading has reshaped how we teach foundational literacy in elementary school. But what happens to students who reach 6th grade still reading below grade level?

For too long, the answer has been: not much. This webinar shifts that conversation.

Join researcher Catherine Snow and educators from Los Angeles, New York City, and Sauk City, Wisconsin to explore what research and real-world implementation reveal about adolescent literacy intervention. Learn why approaches designed for younger students fall short with teenagers—and what it takes to accelerate reading growth for students in grades 6–12.

You’ll leave with practical insights into how schools are improving outcomes for struggling readers, including strategies that build engagement, strengthen comprehension, and support meaningful gains.

The Science of Reading doesn't end in 3rd grade. Neither should your intervention strategy.
