Math
M’s of Math: Metacognition, Morphology, and Mastery
Reading instruction shouldn’t end when the period ends, especially for our students who struggle to develop decoding and comprehension skills that are required in all content areas. During this workshop, participants will learn how to apply findings from the science of reading in their math instruction. In real life, math isn’t a worksheet full of equations, it involves language proficiency. Many students, not just those with specific learning disabilities, struggle with the language of math and often end up developing anxiety rather than developing confidence. Participants will learn how to bridge their reading instruction into math class by providing targeted fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension instruction. The session will begin with an overview of universal math screeners, such as Acadience and AimswebPlus, in order to learn how to measure students’ acquisition of foundational math skills. Participants will leave the workshop with strategies and resources they can immediately incorporate into their math lessons with their dyslexic students.
