3rd -5th Grade Reading Intervention PDF Print E-mail
Written by Krista Nail   

nail2.jpgThe 3rd - 5th grade reading intervention program assists students in mastering grade level TEKS through small group instruction.  Intervention classes meet one to three times per week and focus on decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills.  Starting in January, intervention groups often reinforce test-taking strategies and objectives in order to prepare for the state-mandated TAKS test.

 

Students are primarily identified for reading intervention by their teacher.  However, parents who are concerned about their child's reading performance can refer their child to the reading department for additional screenings and assessments.  Parents are also encouraged to visit the reading department to get information about helping their child become a lifelong reader at home.

Kindergarten - 2nd grade Reading Intervention PDF Print E-mail
Written by Natalie Gill   

 

New Frontiers Charter School prides itself in offering individualized instruction.  One way we do this is through the Kindergarten- 2nd grade reading intervention program. The program assists students that need a little extra help and support with reading.  The reading intervention teacher works closely with the students' homeroom teacher and develops lessons that review what is being taught in the classroom. Students participate in these lessons with the benefits of working in a small group setting. Students that receive intervention are pulled out of their homeroom class every other day for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, students perform interactive activities that help build on what they are learning in the classroom. In order for a student to receive intervention, their classroom teacher may refer them. They may also be placed in reading intervention if they are performing below grade level in reading. Parents also have the opportunity to request reading intervention if they feel that their child is in need of extra assistance.

 

Parents, please feel free to stop by the reading room if you have any questions about reading intervention or simply want to pick up some reading ideas and strategies that you can practice at home with your little reader!!!!

Written by Webmaster   

Students who continue to struggle to read, despite conventional or intensified instruction, are provided organized systems of reading support in the state of Texas. Some students struggle during early reading acquisition. Others do not struggle until the later grades when they face more complex language demands (e.g., reading textbooks; grammar). Some may be non-English speakers who struggle to read in their native language and/or English language learners (ELL) who struggle to read despite having appropriately developed oral English language. Many of the struggling readers struggle because of dyslexia. This includes students in all grades, non-English speakers, and ELL.
