LETRS © Modules 4,5,6

LETRS© Module 4: The Mighty Word: Building Vocabulary
Vocabulary instruction differs from other areas of reading. This module addresses varied approaches to instruction, including indirect (contextual) and direct methodologies, and stressing techniques for fostering word use, knowledge of word relationships, and awareness of word structure and its connection to meaning. Participants apply what they have learned about vocabulary instruction to several examples of narrative and expository text.

LETRS© Module 5: Getting Up to Speed: Developing Fluency
Comprehensive reading instruction includes deliberate fluency building at the subword, word, phrase, and text levels for those students who read too slowly. This module reviews the rationale for a fluency component in lesson design. Participants learn and practice techniques for speed drills, repeated reading, simultaneous and alternate oral reading, calculating reading fluency, and charting the results of exercises.

LETRS© Module 6: Digging For Meaning: Teaching Text Comprehension
Comprehension instruction is one of the most researched areas in reading education, yet it is also one of the most challenging. This module addresses the research base for teaching comprehension, the reasons why children have difficulty with comprehension, and approaches for teaching comprehension at the phrase, sentence, paragraph, and passage levels. Questioning techniques and strategies that are useful before, during, and after reading are reviewed. Exercises include text analysis for planning instruction.
