Class overview
I meet with students in small groups during their reading class time. These groups may focus on foundational literacy skills like phonics and fluency, or support skills like vocabulary acquisition, writing, and comprehension.
I also teach a section of Focus/MTSS during 10th hour that gives students reading intervention and uses the iReady Reading and Math programs.
