The goals of a readings specialist:
First, as an elementary reading specialist I will be providing quality instruction for students in grades 2 and 3 to improve reading achievement. This instruction typically includes a small group of students or one on one instruction. The focus of these lessons will center around student specific needs based on district assessments and teacher feedback. These lessons will include reading strategies, fluency, comprehension, text structure, word work, as well as other topics.
Second, the reading specialist serves as a resource person for students, parents, teachers, and administration.The goal is to help all students become successful readers.
