The Third Quest Training

Presented by Marilyn Sprick, Lead Author of The Third Quest

This training is for individual teachers and leadership teams responsible for delivering reading intervention in middle and high school (grades 5 through 12).

This comprehensive versus targeted reading program is powerful for students who need a strong teacher-directed program in order to generalize stronger reading skills to other classes.

Learn how to teach this effective intervention with fidelity and high success.

Comments From Teachers Using The Third Quest

  • Increased scores—students feel measured growth and are transferring to content classes.
  • Even my eighth-grade students are so engaged—especially with the Word Study.
  • My students now LOVE to read out loud. Their comprehension and writing summaries have greatly improved. They have developed perseverance. Oh, and they love using the new vocabulary words they have learned. I can’t say enough good things about this program.
