My students are a hard-working group of kids who come to me specifically for reading intervention. We work together to strengthen their skills in phonics, fluency, and comprehension in order to help them become better readers.
Students receive academic intervention if they are significantly behind their peers in reading.
Many students receiving academic interventions have gaps in their skills and learning due to circumstances outside of their control, such as absenteeism as a result of homelessness, coming to the United States as refugees, or learning English as a second language.
My students continue to work hard to rise to the challenges presented to them and are eager to grow as readers and as learners!
My Project
Sustaining attention during reading intervention can be tiring for students. My students work extra hard in intervention in addition to the regular class work they are asked to do in their classroom.
Wobbly stools can help us expend nervous energy and stay alert so we can focus our minds on the hard work of improving our reading skills.
Some of students come early in the day, full of nervous energy, while some come to intervention after lunch when they are sleepy from a long morning of learning. Stools that ask our bodies to stay alert can help each student stay in tune with their bodies while they focus their minds on the task of reading.
More than half of students from low‑income households
