Vocabulary and Comprehension

Text Talk-is designed to supplement a school's core reading program with 20 minutes of daily whole or small group instruction delivered by the teacher. The goal of the program is to develop the student's ability to construct meaning of sophisticated vocabulary words within the context of read-alouds and explicit vocabulary instruction.

Comprehension Strategies Kit-The purpose of the comprehension strategy tool kits is to familiarize students with comprehension strategies they can use while reading both fiction and non-fiction text. Explicit modelings of strategy usage and practical application opportunities for students are at the core of this intervention.

SOAR to Success-The ultimate goal of this intervention is to increase students' understanding of what they read through an approach called reciprocal teaching which focuses on clarifying, predicting, questioning, and summarizing.

Read About-This is a self-managed, computer, research-based, leveled, reading system that meets the needs of many students. It also has SMART files for the students to apply the skills they have learned on the computer.

Harcourt Intervention Kit-A balanced literacy approach that scaffolds, uses extra support, and extra reading practice that below-level readers need to succeed in the mainstream core reading program.
