Literacy:

Early literacy intervention is a vital component in ensuring the success of students in the classroom. Each fall, our interventionist looks at all the NWEA standardized test scores of our first and second grade students. Based on those scores and additional teacher recommendations, the interventionist meets one on one with each student to gauge his or her literacy level and needs. If a need is present to ensure success in the classroom, the interventionist will place students in leveled groups for student-centered academic intervention. Kindergarteners are recommended for intervention after the first semester. If the interventionist sees a substantial need for remediation, it will begin in January. Students in third, fourth and fifth grade are included in intervention when the student exemplifies a severe literacy deficit.   

The intervention program utilizes several programs to aid in student success. Intervention sessions typically occur three times per week. The program used most frequently for Literacy Intervention is 95% Group. Evidence-Based Literacy Solutions | 95 Percent Group 

Mathematics:

Early mathematics intervention is also a vital component in ensuring student success. Our interventionists utilize early NWEA data along with teacher recommendations to gauge what students need further academic intervention in the area of math. Using standards-based approaches and intervention kits from our curriculum (Savvas EnVision) students meet in small groups for remediation.
