Program Module

Teach Corrective Reading Comprehension B2-C

Overview

This module is designed to prepare educators to teach Corrective Reading Comprehension (CRC) Levels B2 and C. It will cover how to use CRC in the structuring of students’ reasoning, comprehension, writing and information-processing skills through structured exercises and evidence-based Direct Instruction (DI) strategies.

After an overview of the CRC program’s history, its place within the broader DI framework and its intended audience, teachers will learn the key skills taught at both levels, understand the program’s materials and time requirements, and review placement testing, grouping and seating strategies. Guidance on using the Teacher’s Guide, lesson scripts and other resources is also provided to ensure smooth implementation. By the end of the module, educators will be fully equipped to deliver CRC B2 and C lessons with fidelity, ensuring students build advanced comprehension and reasoning skills in a structured, supportive learning environment.
