Literacy for CTE: Vocabulary Practices to Improve Reading for Student Success

October 23, 2025

Research and experience show that implementing effective reading and vocabulary practices directly impacts student academic success. CTE students with strong reading and vocabulary skills are able to make connections to new content quicker, perform better on certifications and assessments, and engage more readily in professional communication in industry.

This course is designed to equip teachers to use their program instructional terminology along with high-yield vocabulary practices to plan and teach in both the class and hands-on settings. Whereas Technical reading and performance-based literacy focus on reading, writing, listening, and speaking standards, this course takes a deeper look at using effective reading and vocabulary strategies.

This Premier Series Course is available to CURRENT teachers.
