The 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.
