Resources for Meeting Individual Needs • Collection for Readers and Intervention Handbook • Very Easy Reader • Leveled Readers • Easy, On Level and Challenge Readers • Adding English/10 Important Sentences • Links to Reading First • Classroom Routines Folders Note: At Hayesville, we’ve generally found that our benchmark and strategic students function best in Scott Foresman. In making determinations about reading program placements for individual students we use assessment data and a care team approach. Example: An ELL student may appear benchmark in fluency, but needs support in comprehension and vocabulary. Or, a strategic, or even intensive student may need support in fluency, but be quite capable in comprehension or accuracy.
