Reading Comprehension

Using pretests, benchmarks, and post tests allows us to ensure proficiency of literary elements.

Teaching and practicing skills in a carefully structured format fully supports students mastery of skills.

With deliberate pacing based on students’ needs, teachers instruct students with shorter text to build students' confidence.

Review, repetition, and scaffolding of skills allows students to grow their comprehension skills immensely in one academic year.

Students receive 2 periods of reading instruction per day and, therefore, have a modified schedule in which they participate in science for half of the year and social studies for the remaining half of the year.
