A little about Reading Club: This year we are using three programs: Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI), Orton Gillingham Phonics, and Heggerty Phonemic Awareness.  The lessons include phonemic awareness instruction (for K-2 students), phonics and spelling practice, reading books together, and comprehension conversations. Students are first assessed to find their individual reading level and then instructed to progress through more difficult levels. The overall goal is to catch up students to be reading independently at grade level. Each Reading Club group has up to 4 students in grades K-5.
