Welcome, Reading Coaches!
We are pleased to welcome you to the first step in your comprehensive training journey! Your dedication is essential as we work together to empower students and turn them into successful Super Readers.
This course is designed to provide you with immediate, practical knowledge—the “What to Do”—by immersing you directly into the curriculum’s structure and flow.
Your Training: The Shared Experience
To ensure you gain the necessary practical skills for successful coaching, your initial video training has two specific, integrated purposes.
Purpose 1: Establish the Shared Instructional Experience
Your first goal is to establish a Shared Instructional Experience by seeing the lesson through the student’s eyes.
- As you watch the student instructional videos, you must complete the corresponding lesson exercises simultaneously.
- You will use the student pages or worksheets provided in the Reading Coach Reference Guide, in the RCRG manual, or on the specific lesson page, just as the student would.
- This hands-on activity provides a kinesthetic and visual experience, giving you key insight into the student’s learning process and the specific challenges they face, such as practicing tracing letters or applying the Reading Code.
Purpose 2: Master the Coaching Dialogue and Socratic Method
Your second goal is to master the structure and dialogue required for a confident and effective reading coach session.
- After reviewing the student lesson and completing the worksheet, you will watch the paired Reading Coach Example Video.
- Pay close attention to the reading coach videos that show how to use the Socratic approach. This method utilizes targeted questioning (as indicated by the highlighted blue-text prompts in the RCRG) to guide students in discovering reading rules and strategies independently.
- Mastering this Socratic approach is essential, as it is used consistently throughout the program and provides the foundation for leading an effective, student-centered coaching session.
