Highly trained teachers work with no more than six students in a session, encouraging active and thoughtful participation by each child.

As in all our programs, instruction is diagnostic and prescriptive, and Individualized Learning Plans reflect the specific needs of each student.

Our AchieveReading small-group instructional programs are:

• Backed by scientifically-based research and best practices in reading instruction
• Tailored to meet the needs of our school partners
• Aligned to national and state standards
• Integrate an effective combination of individualized assessment, small group learning with direct instruction, guided and independent practice, parent involvement and a student motivation program
  

Our small-group direct instructional programs improve student’s achievement by targeting skill gaps. Best practices, such as assisting students in connecting and integrating new learning to existing knowledge, helping students expand their backgrounds of knowledge, establishing an environment that is conducive to learning by providing immediate feedback to the learner, incorporating ample guided practice and helping students articulate higher-order thinking, are all key features of our signature instructional programs.

The reading lesson encompasses before, during and after reading activities that include an instructional format such as shared reading, guided reading, or a directed reading-thinking activity (DRTA). These strategies are widely used by reading educators and are recognized to be beneficial for remedial and developmental students and students for whom English is a second language.
