Reading Intervention Program K-5


    


     During the 2011-2012 school year, St. Gregory's School will implement a new Reading Intervention Program. This program includes:
  • Time allotted is in addition to regular classroom reading instruction (3-4 times a week)
  • Strong ongoing reading program in the classroom
  • Small pupil-teacher ratio
  • Accelerated learning strategies are used; not a slower-pace "remedial" approach
  • Strategies support reading connected text
  • Teaching materials are carefully selected and sequenced in difficulty ("leveled") to insure student success
  • Instructional procedures begin with a great deal of teacher support that is gradually withdrawn to allow for student independence
  • Routine is predictable and consistent and includes reading, working with words, and skill-based web sites
  • Grade level goals outlined on Mrs. Fahrner's web pages
  • Assessment is efficient and ongoing, including classroom observation, discussion, and performance assessments
  • Primary students expected  to read on the Raz-kids site twice a week, and practice Dolch Sight Words until mastered
  • 4th and 5th students expected to incorporate skills learned into their classroom work, and  encouraged to practice skills linked on their grade level page
