The
Crafton Elementary Reading Support Room |

|
Information
provided by Reading Specialist Susan Mata-Kosko
Reading at Crafton Elementary is viewed as a developmental
process that begins prior to entering school and progresses
through a child’s elementary school career.
|
At all levels, word decoding (phonics), vocabulary, fluency
and comprehension is viewed as the primary focus of
instruction and is developed in conjunction with writing and
an enjoyment of reading.
The goal of the Title I Reading Program is to show students
how to apply reading skills strategically to acquire meaning
from text. It also enables students to become independent |

|
readers who simultaneously and effortlessly employ
a range of strategies. This theory is supported by providing
instruction that is coordinated with classroom practice based
on the individual needs of the students. The Reading Support
Room services students in kindergarten through third grade.
Students qualify to participate through teacher recommendation
and performance on Harcourt Trophies tests and DIBELS
(Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Ready Skills). |
This year's service for students in kindergarten through
second grade is guided by the Reading Achievement Center.
Our program increases student learning and reading achievement
through the implementation of scientifically based reading
research. Lessons are designed around phonemic awareness,
alphabetic principle, fluency and comprehension.
Students in third grade are receiving instruction through the
Corrective Reading Program. The Corrective Reading
Program increases a child’s ability to read with fluency and
understanding.
The reading program receives Title I
funding under the Improving School’s Act of 1994. |
