When I attended the Content Literacy Leadership Institute, I
was unsure about a lot of things with becoming a Xtreme Reading Professional Developer. That was a commitment I did not think I was
ready for. I found out that I was ready
for the commitment because I believed in Xtreme Reading and what it had done
for my students. I saw firsthand how
this program works with carefully planned strategies that had a set instruction
on how to teach the strategies to students but also teach the teacher how to
roll out all eight strategies with fidelity.
I had great PDers who taught me, and I know I have to carry on that professional development to other people who want to learn how to achieve student growth by
using Xtreme reading with my lower-level students and show success. Xtreme Reading works as long as you following
the instructions for each strategy and not skip any steps or create short
cuts. The students will not have the
same the outcome. The CLLI help me on all levels to give me
confidence and prepare me to become a Xtreme Reading professional Developer
