Thank you IDA Georgia! Thanks to a generous grant from IDA Georgia, REAP is providing 160 public school teachers with advanced training in Structured Literacy to better support at-risk students. REAP will provide REAP-trained teachers with extra tools to boost reading skills in economically disadvantaged students, English language learners, and those with dyslexia and other learning challenges. These trained teachers are already making gains with ALL their students and this advanced training will give them even better ways to support at-risk students.
1. Phonological Awareness Workshops
This workshop is valuable for Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers.
2. Word and World Knowledge Vocabulary Modules
All students need explicit vocabulary instruction. It’s absolutely
critical that second-language students and economically disadvantaged
students get the word and world knowledge necessary to catch up to their
peers.
3. Morphology Workshop for 3rd-6th grade teachers
This training is important for teachers in grades 3-6 who are limited in
the amount of time they can spend on reading instruction.
