Program Module

Teach Corrective Reading Comprehension A-B1

Overview

This module equips educators with the knowledge and skills required to effectively deliver Corrective Reading Comprehension (CRC) Levels A and B1. After an introduction to the program’s background, its placement within Direct Instruction frameworks and its target audience, teachers will be trained on how to use CRC in the structuring of reasoning, vocabulary, sentence, writing and comprehension skills in students, focusing on structured teaching techniques and mastery checks.

Participants will gain insight into the lesson structure, materials and time requirements for CRC A and B1, as well as strategies for student grouping, seating, and placement testing. Key elements of the Teacher’s Guide and scripting will also be reviewed to ensure teachers feel confident in delivering the lessons.

The module explores the teaching tracks for both levels, including reasoning skills, information skills, vocabulary, sentence construction, and writing. For each track, participants will understand the exercises, correction procedures, and pacing required to ensure students achieve mastery. Independent work routines, workbook procedures and feedback methods are discussed.

Finally, the module highlights assessment strategies, motivation techniques and the importance of affirmations, as well as training on how to carry out mastery tests, interpret the results and implement remedies to support all students. Participants will observe model lessons to see these techniques in action and consolidate their learning. By the end of this module, educators will have the confidence and expertise to deliver these lessons with fidelity, ensuring consistent student success.
