Did you know that learning to read is a challenge for almost 40 percent of kids? The good news is that with early help, most reading problems can be prevented. The bad news is that 44 percent of parents who notice their child having troubles wait a year or more before getting help.
Early identification is crucial. Please, if you suspect a problem, don't hesitate. Learn about reading difficulties, get your child asessed, find out what you can do to help your struggling reader, and don't give up!
Through our Title 1 program we are identifying and supporting 5th Grade-8th Grade students in the area of reading and math. Students in need of reading interventions and math interventions are worked with on a daily basis in small groups during Tier time. During this reading intervention time we are using the following programs: Reading Renaissance, Edmentum and Moby Max. Plus a variety of specially designed skill practices.
Math interventions are provided during Tier time for students. Basic facts, grade level skills and reteaching is completed during tier in a small group or one-on-one to individual students.
