Bottom line? What Does it Take??
Time - daily READING class - tons of instruction & practice
Curriculum that works to teach reading NOT the “core” only!
Direct Teaching within “ZPD” - teach ‘em where they are!
Not worksheet driven, tutorial, etc. - but interactive direct teaching!
Small groups - homogenous as possible (logistics matter!)
On going progress monitoring/adjustment
Motivation/Tons of Outside Reading/ and Teachers w/Knowledge & Passion!!
Kids learn what they are taught & get to practice…
