Administrators remain committed to keeping their two reading interventionists and K – 3 reading coach, despite funding challenges. The three-tiered reading program meets students where they are, adding as many as 30 minutes of reading a day. Students are comfortable being pulled out for small groups by the interventionists or for tutoring by a paraprofessional and appreciate the personal attention. The commitment to a strong reading foundation has resulted in exemplary test scores in reading and writing. Read the transcript of Reading.
