Reading Intervention (K-8) Beginning Level: Using the SIPPS Program, this Beginning Level reading intervention is for students in the Early Stage of Reading with emphasis on the Systematic Introduction of Phonemes, Phonics, and Sight Words. This level is generally for K through 1st graders; focus is on reading short vowel words and sight words. These strategies will be compiled with fluency practice of decodable stories keyed to phonics and sight words being taught. Students find this class to be active and engaging. Extension Level: Using the SIPPS Program, this Extension Level reading intervention is for students in the Second Stage of Reading with emphasis on the Systematic Introduction of Phonemes, Phonics, and Sight Words. This level is generally for 2nd through 3rd graders; focus is on reading single syllable words with complex vowels and sight words. These strategies will be compiled with fluency practice of decodable stories keyed to phonics and sight words being taught. Students find this class to be active and engaging. Challenge Level: Using the SIPPS Program, this is a reading intervention class for students who have done fairly well in the initial stages of learning to read, but are struggling in the third stage of learning to read, the polysyllabic/morphemic phase. Extensive experience reading polysyllabic words with the teacher’s guidance, increases student proficiency, and hence opening the door for better comprehension. This level is generally for 3rd through 4th graders; focus is on reading polysyllabic words with accuracy and increasing fluency. Students find this class to be active and engaging. Advanced Level: This course is the next step next step after SIPPS Reading Intervention Classes, or for a child needing fluency practice. We will be doing reader's Theater, Choral Reading, Read Alouds as well as working on reading strategies for comprehension: annotation, questioning and interacting with the text. It is twice a week for an hour. Students will be assessed for appropriate placement.
