Introduction to Read Naturally GATE (Group and Tutoring Edition)- Webinar Recording

Students need foundational skills to become proficient readers. This free webinar introduces educators to Read Naturally GATE, an effective program that uses non-fiction stories to systematically teach the foundational skills to small groups of beginning and developing readers. Participants will walk through the program steps from both the teacher and student perspectives to understand how this direct instruction model leads to mastery of the foundational skills: phonemic awareness, phonics, high-frequency words, spelling, fluency, and comprehension. Topics covered: • How Read Naturally’s research-based GATE program teaches the foundational skills. • Why GATE is an effective RtI intervention for students who are not yet ready to work independently in Read Naturally Live or Read Naturally Encore. • GATE’s research-based strategy and direct-instruction, scripted-lesson design. • How to successfully implement GATE in the classroom. • Demonstration of the GATE program steps for a deeper understanding of the activities used to develop students’ reading skills.
