5. FAQs & Suggested Reading

Answering the Xtreme Reading FAQs to prepare me for difficult questions that are asked at PD sessions was informative and prepared me to be able to answer these questions with ease. These questions allow me to refer to when meeting with teachers, administration and district personnel to discuss the benefits of this reading program. I feel prepared in the role as a professional developer in Xtreme Reading, and confident in presenting Xtreme Overviews to educate and promote Strategic Instruction Model through this reading program with others in my district and additional districts.

I collaborated with Kaity Byron and completed 18 of the Xtreme FAQs. Those were submitted to Janet Atallah for review, and she provided feedback on 6/22/23. 

The task of completing the Xtreme Reading FAQs was both informative and a good review at this point in my badging for this reading program. Although I knew many of these answers, focusing on the details and having to explicitly explain and add resources, such as the introduction section of a specific strategy or the Xtreme Reading "At A Glance" document, helped me to solidify my understanding and explanation of Xtreme Reading. This is a document that I can refer back to when meeting with administrators within my district to discuss the benefits of this reading program. By having completed these FAQs, I will be able to answer common questions that district leaders may have with ease. This assignment has prepared me in my role as a Professional Developer in Xtreme Reading, and I feel more confident in presenting Xtreme Overviews to educate and promote Strategic Instruction Model through this reading program with others in my district.
