As students move into the upper elementary grades, they face a greater amount of text with more complex words, yet many lack a systematic approach for decoding these words. These reading demands continue to increase dramatically as students transition from middle to high school and, at the same time, formal literacy instruction largely disappears. Students with reading disabilities, even those who have attained foundational reading skills, often experience substantial difficulty with multisyllabic words. This workshop will begin with an overview of processes involved in multisyllabic word reading and instructional routines to support students’ acquisition of word-level reading skills. Dr. Toste will describe the instructional practices that comprise Word Connections, an evidence-based targeted reading intervention program focused on multisyllabic word reading fluency. She will demonstrate the instructional routines used for each of the seven components of Word Connections and discuss considerations for effective implementation. There will be opportunities to practice each program component and discuss considerations for successful implementation.
