- Role of the Reading Specialist
-
The objective of the reading program at Rosa Lee Carter is to help students become competent, lifelong readers. Students are taught to develop skills and strategies necessary to make sense of what they read. Students are also learning to think critically in order to acquire knowledge in the content areas.
The primary roles of the reading specialist are to work alongside classroom teachers, coordinate the school’s reading program and assist in implementing effective methods based in the science of reading. We collaborate with teachers to develop strategies that will support readers of all levels, from struggling readers to highly accomplished readers. As reading specialists, we meet with small groups, team teach with classroom teachers, coordinate assessment programs and serve as a resource for both teachers and parents.
