Students scoring in the 25th-50th%-ile on the iReady reading assessment <br />qualify to attend this remediation and enrichment program. We know that struggling readers <br />need more time to catch up to their peers, and that they must have highly -skilled teachers <br />who are able to reach them at their level to help them improve. Our program is a multi -faceted <br />enriched literacy program that provides remediation, additional time for mastery of academic <br />content for struggling students, and enrichment that connects learning concepts.
