Remedial Instruction Management
School-based remedial sessions tend to involve 3 to 10 learners, and typically last
between 30 to 50 minutes, depending on whether they are in the elementary or
secondary level. A plan to maximize the utilization of that time should be a high
priority. To ensure that the program is effective, one must consider the six
components of an ideal remedial program. These principles may also be applicable in
remediation for other skills aside from reading.
 Components of Remediation

1. THE ORIENTATION COMPONENT

The orientation component provides continuity and focuses on the

remedial session. It may be an engaging question or statement
related to local or national news, or even school life. It must focus
on structured routines, materials, equipment, venue, people
involved, and the objective of the program.

2. DIRECT INSTRUCTION COMPONENT

This is the instructional heart of the remedial session. It should

never be traded away, even for one period, without some
compelling reason.

3. REINFORCEMENT AND EXTENSION COMPONENT

This period of time ideally should build on the direct instructional

period and be spent in empowered reading, writing, and discussion
of what was read. Writing activities may vary from simply listing
keywords to summarizing and reacting.

4. SCHEMA-ENHANCEMENT COMPONENT

This unit of time should be spent in building a knowledge base for

further reading and independent thinking. It is an ideal time to
teach study skills such as outlining, note-taking, and memory
training. Ideally, it should flow or precede Component 3.

5. PERSONAL-EMOTIONAL GROWTH DEVELOPMENT

There is little learning or consequence that can occur without the

learner's involvement and anticipation of personal progress.

6. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT

This component should contain an attempt to enhance basic

thinking operations such as inference, abstract verbal reasoning,
analogical reasoning, constructive-critical/ creative reading,
convergent and divergent analysis, problem-solving, and
metacognition
