Reading Connections Program: Identifying the Sources of Reading Difficulties
Emily Robinson Leclair, Community Learning Network
CanLearn Society has developed a process to determine and understand the underlying sources of reading difficulties in adults with very limited literacy and foundational skills.
The Reading Connections Program is a screening tool with three goals:
- To understand learner’s strengths and weaknesses in reading
- To use this information to plan an effective instruction
- To document the outcomes of instruction
The Reading Connections Program develops and supports the five (5) components of reading which are at the core of the systematic, explicit and targeted reading instruction:
- Phonological Awareness
- Word Recognition
- Vocabulary
- Fluency
- Comprehension
