Why can some students decode perfectly but fail a comprehension check? Why do others read with great expression but can’t tell you a single detail of the story? In this interactive "Forensic Lab," teachers will become Literacy Detectives. Using real student data (evidence), participants will learn to identify the "Reading Bottlenecks" that stall progress. We will move beyond the "low score" to find the "root cause" using the Simple View of Reading & Scarborough’s Rope as our magnifying glass.
