Our Interventions
Some Things to Note
1. In first and second grade, our interventions are considered early interventions. Research shows that the right early interventions can prevent reading difficulties later. Many of our students need this early boost and never need it again.
2. Helping the children succeed in the classroom is our primary goal. This is why all of our interventions mirror what the classroom teachers are teaching in class. This extra exposure to concepts is a double dose of instruction. This extra practice makes a tremendous difference in a child's ability to master important skills.
3. The daily reading parents do at home with their children is such an important part of a child's reading success. Just 20 minutes a day can make all the difference.

Project Read
Project Read is a comprehensive language arts program designed to provide explicit instruction in a structured reading curriculum. The goal of the program is to help all students become thoughtful, purposeful, and independent readers. The Project Read curriculum may be implemented in the regular classroom. It may also be used as an intervention reading program for first through sixth graders who struggle with reading or language learning. Whole or small group instruction is delivered by a classroom teacher, a special education teacher, or a reading teacher. Lessons are intended to occur daily within an extended block of time devoted to reading instruction. Emphasis is placed on systematic, direct instruction of concepts and skills supported and enhanced by a teaching approach that includes visual, kinesthetic, auditory and tactile strategies (VAKT), and the use of body language. Many schools across the nation have taken advantage of this program and their students have shown significant gains in their reading.
