Interventions at the Landing
Beginning of the year assessments are done and we are in the process of creating intervention groups for reading and math. An intervention groups is a targeted, research-based instructional program given in addition to regular classwork to help students catch up when they fall behind grade-level expectations. If students are below grade level in both math and reading, they will receive a reading intervention. This is a result of the Maryland Comprehensive PreK-3 Literacy Policy, which is a state plan to ensure every child can read well by the end of 3rd grade. It focuses on catching reading struggles early and giving kids the exact support they need. More information will be forthcoming.
