What Does the Research Say?

The following is an excerpt from an expert in reading intervention. The same research holds true in other areas of instruction and is the motivation for what we are striving to provide at Connected to Learning.

Struggling readers need larger amounts of more expert, more personalized, and more intensive reading instruction. In the end, the quality of that instruction is critical, and high-quality instruction for struggling readers cannot simply be boxed up and shipped to a site. High-quality reading instruction, especially for struggling readers, requires the expertise to identify just where the reader has gotten off-track and then to design instruction that moves the reader back onto an accelerated track of development.”
