AZ State Law, MOWR, requires that schools monitor reading achievement in students. DVUSD uses a varitey of assessments to gauge student learning and plan effective lessons to promote reading success. Grades k-3 are screened using the DIBELS test. It is administered a minimum of 3 x per year to assist in identifying struggling readers. This data combined with teacher input drives the instruction of a reading intervenionist. Interventionists meet with small groups of students using research based reading lessons and techniques to improve student reading with the intent of ensuring all students are reading at grade level.
If I will be an instructor for your child this year, you will be provided to my Canvas Course and/or ZOOM link via email once reading groups are created.
