12 Ways to Make Time for Foundational Literacy Interventions Within Your Current Schedule

divider

Some students have been coming to us without the literacy skills to be successful in middle and high school long before the pandemic. But let’s face it, the variables that shifted during the recent year have increased the number of students in that situation. Many leaders struggle to find ways to meet their needs while juggling many other concerns.

While some of your teams are working with large percentages of students who are not yet meeting grade-level standards, others on your team may have only a handful of students who need this intervention support. Either way, we are here to help you find a way to meet this critical need and be sure your teachers are able to deliver effective and high-quality instruction!

Below are 12 ways you can create more time for literacy growth within your current schedule with your current team.
