Meeting the needs of the diverse learners in classrooms today...let's take a peek!

Meeting the needs of the diverse learners in today's classrooms will always be a challenge for teachers. In fact, studies show that it has always been.  With all of the debate around Balanced Literacy and The Science of Reading these days, teachers are grasping at straws trying to figure out ways to ensure that the needs of all students are being met. The Science of Reading emphasizes the importance of teaching oral language, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension explicitly and systematically. Educators can use evidence-based instructional practices to help students develop these critical reading skills.
