Each candidate will analyze and synthesize current research on instructional strategies used to assist struggling readers. Students will read 3 separate research articles that address a particular strategy (e.g., (SQ3R, 6-rait Writing, Reciprocal Teaching) or a particular area of literacy (e.g., Comprehension Fluency, Vocabulary Development). The report will consist of a summary and critique for each article followed by a final synthesis of the research, which summarizes the articles together and offers critiques and implications for how the strategies can be used to address specific standards from the Maryland College and Career Readiness Standards (MCCRS). Include references in APA format. The second part of this assignment involves presenting the information in class. Candidates will design a 10-15 min. presentation, in which you report y our findings and engage your colleagues in an interactive model/demonstration.
