Remedial Reading
The Remedial Reading Program – which is funded through a variety of federal, state, and local sources – provides services designed for each individual child. The program is a supplement to the child's regular classroom reading instruction. Reading evaluations are conducted with children on a referral basis. Test scores, portfolio assessment, and teacher records are considered as well.
Children in the Remedial Reading Program meet at least three days per week for 30-minutes each day. We use a diagnostic-prescriptive approach in coordination with the classroom reading program. Generally, students with the most serious reading problems who are not involved with the Committee on Special Education are included. Services are provided to children both in the classroom and in the Reading Center.
