Struggling Readers and the Common Core
Improving Literacy in Changing Times
An ALA/Booklist webinar from Orca Book Publishers and Saddleback Education
The goal of the Common Core State Standards is to accelerate students’ reading achievement to grade level by the end of 2014, but educators can’t begin to make an impact on young adults who are reading below grade level without rich resources to aid them.
In this hour-long, free webinar, sponsored by Orca Book Publishers and Saddleback Education, an expert panel will offer tips about how to implement the Common Core State Standards with struggling and striving readers in the middle- and high-school classroom.
Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 2:00 pm EST
