National reading levels are dropping at alarming rates. The data proves it. But what can be done to inspire at-risk and struggling students to read?
The answer is simple: the Literacy Logic program.
Out of Sorts details the process for this approach, which centers on student engagement as well as accountability. It's a multidisciplinary and multisensory program that focuses on revitalizing at-risk students' interest in reading. This guide not only talks about the program but also directly breaks down how to implement it, including how to identify the students who need it most.
Based on well-researched methods, this strategy-based instruction encourages student responsibility through group conferencing and data collection. Literacy Logic is a hands-on, low-tech program that suits any demographic or school environment.
Proven to improve grade-level growth, the Literacy Logic program is a reading-intervention program that should be in the tool kit of every teacher in every school district across America.
