What is reading intervention instruction?
Intervention instruction is provided to students who are lagging behind their classmates in the development of critical reading skills. This instruction will usually be guided by a specific intervention program that focuses on one or more of the key areas of reading development. This type of instruction is needed by only a small minority of students in a classroom.
Intervention instruction is designed to meet a student’s specific learning needs while at the same time accelerating their growth toward grade level reading proficiency. Reading intervention instruction is supplemental instruction and is delivered in addition to grade level core reading instruction.
