Reading and Math Advantage Interventions
Reading Advantage is Phalen Leadership Academies’ literacy program to support scholars with reading achievement. Through Reading Advantage, scholars are provided small group instruction that targets their individual needs. PLA schools have Reading Interventionists that support this small group instruction.
Each K-6 classroom dedicates 60 minutes daily to reading small group instruction. During this time, Reading Interventionists work with two small groups of scholars in each classroom for approximately 30 minutes each. Teachers also work with two small groups during this time frame to maximize differentiation for all scholars.
mCLASS Intervention is utilized for
Reading Advantage in grades K-6.
mCLASS intervention uses Dibels
reading assessment data to form
small groups of scholars who can
benefit from additional instruction
on the same literacy skills.
Leveled readers are used by Reading Interventionists for Reading Advantage for scholars in grades 7-8. Scholars are assessed at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year to determine a reading level. Scholars who are below grade level expectations are provided literacy instruction using books at their reading level.
