Reading Intervention Recommendations and Sample Lessons 

Notes from a conversation with Sarah Woodard,  our Implementation Specialist and former 8th Grade ELA teacher. Sarah used Wit and Wisdom in the classroom.  She has experience and expertise with supporting and scaffolding Wit and Wisdom for struggling students.

This sample plan was used with a group of fifth graders who needed to build background for understanding of word play in an extended work of fiction,  as well as support with foundational reading skills including decoding and fluency.

This lesson was used with a group of 4th graders who were having difficulty understanding what the core text was about, and struggling with the learning task provided in the lesson.
