I have been considering writing this post for a few weeks as I have been mulling around a learning project for my time off in the summer. I am a 24 year veteran high school history teacher in a public school in California. I am ashamed to say that during my graduate work/credential I was never exposed to or taught the technical and theoretical aspects of the process of a child (any age) learning to read and developing progressively more nuanced and complex language comprehension. For my fellow Cali teachers, I do have a single subject in social science with CLAD authorization, but the CLAD was nothing more than subject specific pedagogical interventions for curricular access for ELD students. I did my credential and Clad in 2000-01.
There have been several times in my career where this issue has sprung up and given me pause to consider how best to work with a student with significant reading comprehension gaps when they are a 10th or 11th grader with no known IEP/504 issues that might complicate things. I am now at the time in my life where I feel that I have enough emotional and cognitive bandwidth to fill this knowledge gap.
I am looking for suggestions on reading lists, podcasts or other media that can help me build my foundational knowledge on reading and language acquisition. I would like to understand the process of younger children learning to read and then, if possible jump to theories/strategies for older student/adult remediation and intervention. I am also open to courses that are available to fill my gap. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!
