Reading Intervention Program is a short term, early intervention program for young readers experiencing difficulty in their first year of reading instruction. Such children often go through a cycle of confusion, frustration, and anxiety. This pattern of thinking quickly leads to feelings of failure for these "at-risk" children. They often fall behind their classmates and require expensive long-term remedial help, and some never learn to read.
The Reading Intervention Program is designed to serve the lowest achieving readers in a first grade class. In this program, children receive individual daily lessons from a specially trained teacher from twelve to twenty weeks.
By intervening early on, the Reading Intervention Program can halt the debilitating cycle of failure for at-risk children and can enable them to become independent readers and writers who can fully participate with other average first grade students in their schools or classrooms.
