MCPER recently hosted the second installment of reading intervention training for Texas Youth Commission (TYC) reading teachers. MCPER once again was privileged to have nationally known presenter, educational consultant, and author Dr. Anita Archer provide the training for the reading intervention being used in this project. Dr. Jade Wexler, Shannon Hewgley, Michael Solis, Leah Sayre, and Jacob Williams of MCPER presented the remaining components of the intervention. MCPER continues to work collaboratively with TYC to develop and implement an adolescent reading intervention that is in accordance with Texas Senate Bill 1362, which requires TYC to provide at least 60 minutes per school day of individualized reading instruction to each student in a TYC educational program who exhibits deficits in reading.
