It is essential for students to develop reading skills. As educators it is our job to support, encourage, assist, and at time modify instruction for our students. In order to best support children in these skills, it is important to know your students well and know what their unique needs are. If you have a child with exceptionalities, it is still equally as important to meet their needs. This may look like differentiating instruction for them, recommending them for different support, or advocating for proper resources for them. Educators are to advocate for their students. In addition, to support learners teachers can seek to find inclusive, interactive, and fun ways to develop these skills so that students want to be engaged and an active part in their learning.
