Primary and elementary school research-based, reading programs are selected by consensus of each schools' faculty. Reading strategies addressed in these programs include: Success for All, Scott Foresman Comprehensive Reading Programs, Balanced Literacy, Project Read, Language!, Self-Paced Literature Based Independent Reading, and Computer Assisted Instruction.
Success for All is a reading model that incorporates good strategies for teaching students to become independent, successful readers. Students are placed in classes according to their current reading functioning level, regardless of age or grade. Students have the opportunity to progress to higher reading levels and change classes based on their individual achievement. The Success for All Program is implemented at Breaux Bridge Primary, Parks Primary, and Early Learning Center.
In the Comprehensive Reading Program literacy model, the teacher provides modeling and scaffolding, engages children appropriately, monitors their level of understanding, makes necessary accommodations to ensure they are successful, and withdraws support as they exhibit greater knowledge. The focus of the Comprehensive Reading Program approach is the prevention of reading problems in the early grades.
Components of a Balanced Literacy Program are activities selected to produce literate citizens of the 21st Century. Components include: Reading Aloud, Shared Reading, Guided Reading, Independent Reading, Modeled/Shared Writing, Interactive Writing, and Independent Writing.
Brainchild, a computer program designed to reinforce language arts, reading, math concepts, and test taking skills is used in all schools to remediate at risk students and provide practice in the above-mentioned areas. Brainchild is a tool used to enhance reading instruction by addressing individual needs. A hand-held Brainchild is available for checkout in all Title I Family Centers. This program provides enrichment for the children and enhances LEAP and iLEAP test scores.
Accelerated Reader is a program that requires students to read books and take a computerized test about that book. By taking a computerized test, the teacher is able to monitor the progress of the students. This program results in increased reading abilities and improvement in standardized and LEAP 21 test scores. In addition some schools implement the STAR program, a computer-adaptive assessment that is used throughout the school year to assist teachers with recording reading progress for individual students. STAR is a complement program to Accelerated Reader.
The Reading Program Goals are to:
- Enhance Vocabulary instruction in grades 1-6,
- Enhance guided reading in grades 1-6,and
- Enhance phonics instruction in grades 1-3.
