Session description
We are shedding light on a hidden hurdle preventing many students from becoming great readers, the decoding threshold. Decoding is “deciphering a new word by sounding it out.” Estimates from research on reading fluency and word reading indicate at least ⅓ of students in grade 4+ are not proficient decoders and are below this threshold. Learn how we are building new research-based tools with advanced technology to help solve this challenge. Find AERDF in the Bluebird Ballroom 2E.
