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.
