What if the answer to a student's reading struggle was hidden in plain sight? Join me, Jessica Curtis of Teaching Struggling Learners, as we unravel the mystery behind identifying the root cause of reading problems in students. We discuss how essential it is to dig deep to find the real cause before introducing any interventions. You'll gain insights into how collecting data, far beyond the usual academic screening, can offer clues as to when and potentially why your student started struggling.

We also delve into the need for updated screeners, specifically those that check for foundational phonemic or phonological awareness. Uncover how pre-test practice may camouflage ongoing issues and why attendance and behavior problems can be a two-sided coin. Plus, I'll be guiding you through an actionable, step-by-step process that will empower you to support your struggling readers better. So tune in, and let's make a difference in our learners' lives together!
