changes this year with a new curriculum

and a new intervention process.  Ell

students that are in the lower 25

percentile in their classes are being

serviced for a half hour each day

outside their classroom.

Ell students are working on the same

skills that they are learning during their

reading time in their classroom.  Each

week students receive extra support for

learning their vocabulary words,

grammar lessons, and comprehension

skills.  Our new curriculum is called

Harcourt Storytown.  The website below

has information about Storytown.

Also the following website has great

reading activities for students.

Students that have a reading discrepancy will receive additional support within their classrooms during their English Language Arts time.   This is referred to as Tier II intervention support.  Additional support will be delivered by another teacher within a small group. 

If they are still struggling, then additional support outside the classroom is needed.  This is referred to as Tier III intervention support.  Students will be given services in a separate classroom in addition to their English Language Arts time.
