Atlanta | Rethinking Adolescent Literacy Intervention

For many adolescent readers, comprehension challenges may be a symptom of something deeper.
About this Event

National research shows that many older students are still missing foundational reading skills.

Join national literacy leader Dr. Michelle Elia, and your fellow district leaders for an interactive conversation about what striving adolescent readers actually need.

Together, we’ll discuss and examine how reading develops, how to identify the underlying skills that may be holding readers back, and what those insights mean for effective adolescent intervention.




During this interactive conversation, we’ll discuss:
  • What national research reveals about adolescent readers and unfinished literacy learning
  • How to identify the underlying skills that may be holding readers back
  • What these insights mean for district intervention strategy and support



Bringing the Conversation to Atlanta

What do striving adolescent readers need to move forward? Dr. Elia brings evidence-aligned literacy practices to this conversation, joining Atlanta-area education leaders to examine the needs of older readers and what effective intervention can look like in practice.



Together, attendees will share perspectives and consider practical approaches for supporting older students with unfinished literacy learning.

Space is limited. Register today to reserve your seat.
