Help adolescent learners strengthen both reading and writing with Read STOP Write, a multicomponent intervention developed by Dr. John Strong, Dr. Laura Tortorelli, and Dr. Blythe Anderson. 

Designed for students in grades 4–9, this approach integrates instruction in foundational skills, including multisyllabic decoding, morphology, vocabulary, and fluency, with reading comprehension and writing. Grounded in authentic informational text, Read STOP Write supports students’ reading achievement while building motivation to engage with complex texts. 

The program can be implemented as a whole-class supplement or as a targeted small-group intervention. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of the framework and practical ideas for incorporating these strategies into their reading and writing instruction.
