What is Reading Mastery?
Reading Mastery is a direct instruction program designed to provide explicit, systematic instruction in English language reading. The program begins by teaching phonemic awareness and sound-letter correspondence and moves into word and passage reading, vocabulary development, comprehension, and building oral reading fluency. Lessons are designed to be fast-paced and interactive. Students are grouped by similar reading level, based on program placement tests.
Our students, receive reading help based on: teacher recommendations, national tests, and AimsWeb testing. They are then, placed into a group and receive intensive reading instruction in a smaller group level. Over the past years that Reading Mastery has been used, there has been growth in our student's reading level.
