Students requiring additional support in areas of reading fluency and comprehension will attend specialized reading classes. Reading classes are offered in a small group setting and are developed to strengthen students’ knowledge of reading and writing strategies, language structure, spelling, and phonetics.

Students participating in the program are recommended by the classroom teacher and are assessed by the school reading specialist. Classes are generally held for a 30-minute period, and the number of sessions each week depends on a student’s reading ability.
