Best Practices in Reading Intervention Kit
More Information
"Cupertino is one of the top-performing school districts in California. We used Options' Best Practices in Reading with the classroom library books for our 2004 Summer Intervention programs to meet our student learning needs in math and reading. The Options' program fulfills a short intervention period in achieving measureable gains with all students. Options met the needs of our diverse student populations and programs, i.e. Title 1, Special Ed, ELD, and middle school at-risk students. Teachers and students enjoyed this program. Minimal staff development is needed to implement...which is an important factor for summer school."
