Drawing on leading educational researchers some schools are reconsidering their delivery modes for pull-out and in-class intervention models for at-risk readers. In an interactive manner the presenter will model and describe how a daily, strategically-based reading intervention can make a positive difference with vulnerable students. Participants will be provided with opportunities to practice and experience how to teach in a manner that facilitates strategic activity. The ideas presented will be applicable to both learning support and regular classroom teachers. This presentation will answer the question “What is possible for students experiencing difficulties in reading?” as of September 27, 2011 to late June 2017, 144 students who were below grade level in reading reached the average band of instruction.
