RAVE-O Offers Strategic Instruction in
Fluency and Comprehension
RAVE-O (Retrieval, Automaticity, Vocabulary, Engagement - Orthography) is the first comprehensive research and evidence-based approach to building reading fluency struggling 1st - 4th graders.
The only known structured literacy approach for students with Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) weaknesses, RAVE-O program goes beyond repeated reading to help students develop their automaticity in all aspects of word knowledge. Each lesson integrates instruction in phonics, vocabulary, parts of speech, and morphology and supports application to passages, stories and chapter books.
Crafting Minds offers a 10-hour (PDP) training that combines 5 hours of self-guided coursework and live, virtual instruction (unless otherwise noted). The cost is $415 and includes a training manual as well as a copy of Crafting Minds new book, The Structured Literacy Playbook: Pre-planned Lessons to Build Phonics and Fluency.
By the completion of the course, participants will be certified to implement the
RAVE-O curriculum (Modules 1 & 2)
