Reading Intervention and Support

Our goal is to push support into classes as much as possible as we don’t want students missing core instruction.

​

Cheryl DeGroot and Michelle Irons, our Reading Intervention teachers, have identified time with each grade level 1st-5th daily. They will use a variety of strategies and materials to help move students forward.
