Deep dives

Helping struggling readers

One practical tip for helping struggling readers is to prioritize frequent read-alouds, as research shows that grammatically correct sophisticated language patterns coming through the ear are more powerful in helping kids become readers. Additionally, incorporating short daily phonics lessons and giving it time are important strategies. It's crucial to remember that there is no benefit to learning how to read early, and late readers can catch up eventually.
