Students are grouped into smaller reading
groups to ensure progress. There are three
rotations each day that includes spelling
work, reading fluency/expression and
comprehension.
The extended time allotted for
our reading block allows us to
incorporate RTI into our lessons
in order to monitor and
evaluate student progress.
