The strategy that I would use for this is “Three Strikes and You’re Out.” This would be done using the Fry Sight Word Inventory. Mason has only…

When working with my future students I want to instill a love for reading that was never instilled in me.

According to Aims Webb, there are four measures that take into consideration when deciding if a student has difficulty reading. “The four areas are: letter naming fluency, letter sound fluency, phoneme segmentation fluency, and nonsense word fluency” (PEARSON, 2014).
