ERP is an after school reading program designed to target specific literacy skills students need to meet the Third Grade Reading Benchmark. The ERP program incorporates elements of successful reading programs and literacy research.
Students then meet in focus groups of four or five students to work on specific literacy skills.
We are currently servicing 30 students in the Wilson ERP program. Darlene Ackerson is Wilson Elementary s Title 1 teacher and ERP coordinator. Mrs. Ackerson also supervises the five educational assistants which work in the ERP program. ERP educational assistants receive training on basic reading strategies, Reading Recovery, and Guided Reading. Guided Reading practices will be the main focus of instruction.
