The first step to help my struggling students, is to assess, and analyze the data in order to work with the skills necessary for their reading progression. Reading involves many components, and as a teacher I need to make sure I am careful to address all of them. During these two courses we thought about key components to help in the complex art of reading and comprehension. We also thought what assessments should we use, and how would we use that data to focus on the gaps the students present, and build their reading capacity.
