Looking for ways to enhance your reading instruction?
TRI can help!
Through professional development and online coaching, Targeted Reading Instruction (TRI) helps teachers refine their instructional practice as they work one-on-one with a beginning reader. Teachers adapt TRI activities to match the specific needs of each student, rapidly accelerating reading progress.
It is a resource that every teacher needs...I became more confident as a teacher and as a reading teacher. I went to school to get a reading specialist degree and when I graduated, I still didn't feel confident in the classroom. My favorite subject to teach was math not reading. I felt like a robot going through the motions. TRI has really helped me focus my small group and one-on-one reading instruction. It just gave me much more confidence and I knew I could teach children how to read.
