McBride Middle School Proposal

Reading Intervention:

2021-2024

(Revised 6/16/2021)

Proposal Summary:

A blended learning intervention program designed to build reading comprehension, academic vocabulary, and writing skills. At McBride, the program will be utilized as a reading intervention for students performing in the bottom 30% in reading as measured by NWEA and M-Step Assessments.

Student Lexile will be determined as students enter the course and this will serve as the baseline measurement.

Overview of strategy:

Students will be selected for the program based on recent Lexile levels from M-Step and NWEA data.

Class sizes classes will be 10-15 to optimize individualized instruction.

Progress monitoring will be done regularly and will be used to direct and adapt individual instruction.

Program Materials:

1. Student Consumable workbooks; digital software, reading libraries, other materials

2. Teacher materials: manuals, software license, other material

Professional Development/Training:

Training is needed for implementation and coaching for the three-year implementation phases.
