Children qualify for this program through teacher recommendation and testing results.
Children work in small literacy groups and unlock clues for reading with fluency.
The purpose of instruction is to enable children to take an active role in improving reading, stressing the use of phonics, semantic or word meaning, and syntax or sentence structure. Hands-on learning materials are utilized to reinforce vocabulary, comprehension and word attack strategies. Students are encouraged to borrow books, tapes, and games and to enjoy nightly reading.
