By secondary grades, students are expected to read complex texts with accuracy, fluency, and deep understanding. Yet many adolescents continue to struggle, not because they lack comprehension strategies, but because they lack the word-level skills necessary to access academic language. This session will address the disconnect between grade-level expectations and the foundational skill gaps, and how educators can respond effectively across subjects.

Join Laura Stewart, Chief Academic Officer at 95 Percent Group, as she shares how strengthening word recognition skills, focusing on multisyllabic decoding and morphological awareness, unlocks access to all content-area reading. Drawing on research and practical classroom application, a well-rounded instructional approach is emphasized, integrating word study, vocabulary, background knowledge, and oral language to advance academic language literacy for secondary learners.
