SCHOOL READING INTERVENTION PROGRAM
School Year 2014-2015
GRADE V-1
RATIONALE
Reading has been considered basic almost since school began. Reading is a
complex process made up of several interlocking skills and processes. These skills
and strategies are employed before, during, and after reading.
Reading is a process by which the reader makes personal connections with a
text to construct meaning. Reading and responding to a text are integral parts of
language learning. Effective readers employ a wide repertoire of meaning-making
(comprehension) strategies that they can deploy independently with a range of texts.
Effective readers understand and remember what they read. They can summarize
and discuss the content and demonstrate their comprehension of the text. They can
analyze and evaluate what they have read. Effective readers recognize words
quickly and efficiently. They demonstrate high word recognition. They possess
strong fluency skills. They read with good expression, intonation, pitch, and phrasing.
The importance of reading as the basis of learning has been emphasized
because knowledge of reading is essential to all later learning in other fields because
the ability to read in all field of knowledge would enable the individual to attain higher
goals. If students are not competent readers, they are at risk for academic,
behavioral, social and emotional difficulties. Students with learning difficulties have
the potential to be successful academically and socially. Teachers can change the
trajectory for children at risk for failure in reading by intervening early and providing
explicit, intensive, and extensive instruction.
