Reading Remediation
Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grades
Faith Christian School offers a reading remediation class
for third, fourth, and fifth grade students who are below average in reading
and writing. The students work in small multi-age groups of up to six
students. The third and fourth grade students work together as one
group, and the fifth grade students make up a separate group. The third and
fourth grade “Soar to Success” group meets four days per week for forty-five
minutes per class period. The fifth grade group meets three times per week
for forty-five minutes. The students are coached using the Soar to
Success Reading Intervention Program. This program stresses reading
comprehension, fluency, decoding skills, and writing using the reciprocal
teaching method. The books that are included in Soar to Success are
high interest, age appropriate, and cover a variety of genres and subjects.
They progressively increase in difficulty as the students move through the
levels. Soar to Success has proven to be effective and fun for our students.
