Instruction Reading Partners has developed a proprietary, structured, and standards-aligned curriculum to help students gain the skills needed to be independent and successful readers. Our curriculum consists of 150 lessons and provides targeted instruction and practice of foundational literacy skills students need to move towards grade-level reading proficiency. Each lesson is easy-to-follow and requires no preparation outside of the reading center.
Learning Integration Partners with districts to embed tutoring within the school day, provides an integrated online platform to ensure tutors and students/families can connect for online tutoring lessons when in-person learning is not possible or efficient, and also offers an out-of-school time option.
Data Use Reading Partners’ students are assessed at enrollment, placed at an appropriate starting place in the curriculum sequence, and an Individualized Reading Plan is developed to support that child. That IRP is modified between the middle and end of year, based on progress monitoring data, though Reading Partners can adjust the plan earlier if needed.
