I've worked with struggling readers as well as students in the regular
classroom. I'm in middle school and many of the students who are in AIS
programs at this level have been in these programs since the primary grades.
If
that child makes a year's growth in a year's time that is better progress than
they have made in any year prior to this one.
The problem I have often found in these programs is that the kids have
become great test takers, but when it comes down to real reading they still
aren't doing it.
