  Don't have a solid phonics program or need some extra resources. Have a student really struggling with phonics? West Virginia Phonics is a very scripted program that takes the taught skill to the print application level. These lessons were created and are offered for use in the classroom for free through the Reading First Grant!

  ***It is imperative that if a student is not reading fluently at the paragraph level, you must step back and look what the underlying cause may be. They may need to go back to phrase reading and then to sentence reading. Some may need to go back to the word reading level before moving to the phrase level. Questions, don't hesitate to contact us for help.
  Research shows that just looking up a word in the dictionary, writing the definition, and/or using it in a sentence is not the most effective instruction for vocabulary. Use word trains, the Frayer Model, and student friendly definitions to help you students understand text. Questions? Don't hesitate to contact us.
  Make sure the text complexity fits the purpose of the lesson. If you are reading for fluency, lower the text complexity. Students can listen to higher level books than they can read.
