I'd love to hear from you all about what intervention you think an 8th
grader who reads at the 4th grade level needs. Remember that this
student will be starting high school soon. (This is a hypothetical
student, but I have had students like this in the past.)

Quoting Denise Diana Saddler <[email protected]>:
I agree with the fact that if a child is unable to read by the 3rd grade then
the child should be taking out of extra curricular activities for one year in
order to catch up on the reading instruction necessary for the child to be
successful. Many statistics has proven that if the child can read on
grade level
then he or she have a higher chances of passing test in other areas;
examples,
math and science. Other area that is affected when a child cannot
read is the
child's behavior when he or she cannot complete class work or homework
assignments, also the child's self confidence. Yes, a child should be given
extra reading instruction for a minimum of one year in order to
decrease all the
other negative possibilities that can take place if the child is just moved
through the system.
