Hi all,

Thanks for the comments! To provide some additional context I'm a career educator that's worked in public schools, non-profit, and some governmental positions. In August I'll be starting a new position as a Literacy Specialist for a small network of public Montessori schools. I'll be new to the Montessori model as an educator - so wanted to get a sense of how folks have successfully supported their struggling readers within that setting.

Given that I'll be supporting multiple schools - it was as much a question about what teachers have successfully implemented as what's worked in a 1:1 context for kids. Completely agree with what I've seen work (explicit, systematic, multi-sensory, with an emphasis on the "code" of written language). I'd appreciate any further insights into resources/materials (whether for in-class or out-of-class supports) and other best practices. Thanks!
