Far too many students in middle school and high school cannot read. Instead of reading interventions, they were given Chromebooks and told to use Speech-to-Text AT. These students are now struggling to read, spell, write proficiently, and comprehend literature in grades 7-12.
If you’re a teacher of older students who struggle to read & spell, check out this fantastic podcast for great tips that align with research specific to instruction for adolescent emergent readers:
