Inside a Secondary Literacy Intervention Lesson

Tired of trying to adapt elementary-level materials for secondary students who still have foundational gaps?

If you work with middle or high school students who still struggle with foundational literacy skills, you’ve probably run into this challenge:

Your students still need support with word recognition, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension…

But the programs available are often designed for elementary students.

So you end up adapting materials, covering graphics, modifying lessons, or trying to make elementary resources feel appropriate for older students.

And even then, it can still feel like there isn’t a clear model for what effective secondary literacy intervention should actually look like.

In this free on-demand training, we’ll walk you through a secondary literacy intervention lesson so you can see how foundational literacy instruction can be delivered in a way that is both effective and age-appropriate for older students.

Secondary students absolutely benefit from foundational literacy instruction.

But the way that instruction is delivered is important.

Older students need literacy lessons that:

• respect their age and maturity
• build foundational reading skills
• connect directly to authentic reading and writing

In this training, you'll see what it looks like when literacy intervention is structured so that foundational skills can be strengthened without making students feel like they are back in an elementary classroom.
