being used with optimistic success at both North Rose Elementary

entitled
Corrective Reading
is designed to reach students who are
reading below grade level through adulthood. The program is broken
down into four levels. The program is built on routine and a reading
lesson is given every day at the same time. The program is designed for

greater the benefit to students. The program is structured, demanding,

learned.
