Pomperaug Elementary School

Remedial reading is offered to those children working substantially below grade level or those who have been selected for additional strategy and skill instruction. Students meet regularly with either the Reading Consultant, TLC staff, or the Student Improvement Program personnel. The programs are closely coordinated with the classroom curriculum.

Rising and rolling readers are kindergarten support programs for reading development. Teaching for Literacy Competence (TLC) is an early intervention program for selected first grade students. It features identification of children at risk for reading difficulties and is especially tailored to provide tutoring on a one to one basis. The goal is to move the child from nonreading/beginning status, to one where he/she is reading books and writing stories at a fluent level. It is also the purpose of the program to prevent reading failure.

SIP support is provided in grades 2-5.

Questions regarding intervention or SIP should be addressed to the Reading Consultant or classroom teacher.
