Thank you for your webinar. It has been some time since I worked with these terms, and they were significantly scrambled. Your webinar helped to reorganize and uncloud these reading strategies. Your examples were easy to understand and use as a springboard for my instruction. I think I have been using too many top-down strategies. Partly because, we do not have enough ESL students to have self-contained classes, so there is a lot of pressure to deal with content quickly. But, having viewed your webinar, I am reminded of the value in a balanced approach. I can see how this will be a great benefit to my beginning students. A short amount of devoted time to decoding and phonological instruction will certainly enhance their reading experience. I also see how some dedicated time on bottom-up strategies will be a great help to ESL students at higher proficiency levels who are still struggling with literacy plateaus. I know see how this interactive approach can help take them to the next level in their reading.
