From Profile To Practice: Matching Adolescent Readers to Instructional Strategies
Adolescent readers bring diverse strengths and challenges to the classroom. From decoding difficulties to gaps in academic language, it can be hard to pinpoint what holds students back. From Profile to Practice: Matching Adolescent Readers to Instructional Strategies guides educators through an evidence-based framework that breaks down four distinct learner profiles.
By exploring decoding and language comprehension components, teachers learn how to diagnose whether a student’s struggles stem from word recognition, vocabulary gaps, or both. The guide introduces real student examples to illustrate how strengths and weaknesses appear in the classroom and demonstrates how Lexia® PowerUp Literacy, Lexia® English Language Development™ and Lexia® Aspire® Professional Learning offer targeted support.
You will discover how adaptive instruction and Assessment Without Testing® provide real-time data to tailor pathways for older learners, including multilingual students. Practical strategies include explicit decoding instruction, morphology lessons, scaffolded exposure to complex texts, and culturally responsive language development.
By matching instructional tools to student profiles, teachers can deliver focused, flexible interventions that close skill gaps and boost comprehension. Equip yourself with clear diagnostic steps, actionable lesson ideas, and data-driven tools that transform profile insights into classroom practice. This solution guide empowers educators to respond effectively to individual needs and drive literacy growth in every subject area.
