In the final course of the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy Awareness series, participants will both zoom out to develop an understanding of how to implement Structured Literacy practices within Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), as well as zoom in to see how explicit and systematic instruction can support students and teachers when encountering challenging classroom scenarios. Participants will also engage in an interactive review of essential components from prior courses. Course 5 also offers an overview of the role of fluency in reading comprehension and offers helpful resources to integrate assistive and instructional technologies to ensure all learners are able to access grade-level content.
