● Whole-group, small-group, and individual
work.
● Uniform units with flexible pacing.
● In at-risk student populations the program
demonstrates above average performance at
the end of the year and with a one year
follow up.
Downfalls:
● Only grades K - 3 reading program.
● This is a scripted program that can lead to
marginalizing teachers.
SRA Reading Mastery/SRA Corrective
Reading
● Grades 3 though 12 reading program
● Whole group and small group instruction
● Program is designed for students who are
not motivated.
● Corrective reading is an intervention

How we would implement it?
1. Familiarize the faculty with the new plan with 3 training sessions (2 intensive
learning and 1 follow up)
2. Assess students to find their instructional and independent reading levels using
BAS
3. Group students based on their levels
4. Begin implementing small group intervention
Everyday, 30 min a day for 14-18 weeks.
5. Take running records every other day and continue
Progress monitoring throughout the 14 weeks.
 Not convinced?
In one urban school study,
every grade level made
benchmark gains compared to
the control group that was
receiving reading intervention
but not LLI
