TRAINING VIDEOS for

DI Reading Programs designed for 

Teaching Reading to GROUPS

In this vintage video series (produced as part of the federally-funded Project Follow Through when Dr. Haddox was Director of the DI Model), Reading Mastery Rainbow Edition was used but the same DI teaching strategies are used in the recent edition, Reading Mastery Signature Edition, designed for classroom GROUP instruction. 

Dr. Haddox provides rationale for and detailed training in critical DI techniques and strategies for teaching beginning readers in GROUPS.  She demonstrates, trains, and then you practice the techniques. Periodically throughout the training, teaching demonstrations with groups of students are shown. Lesson numbers are indicated for the READING MASTERY I (RM I) program and also for the accelerated program FAST CYCLE I (FC I). Video training segments also listed for RM II and III.
