Menahga Elementary School targets reading proficiency
Intervention resources will better meet a student’s individual reading needs and offer systematic instruction for teachers, explained Menahga Elementary Principal Jeannie Mayer. 3:00 pm, Jul. 22, 2021 ×
The Menahga School Board authorized the purchase of intervention resources to improve reading lessons for elementary students.
They unanimously approved spending up to $30,000 at their July 19 meeting.
Specialized Program Individualizing Reading Excellence (SPIRE) incorporates multisensory activities to meet different learning styles, while also providing explicit, teacher-led lessons.
Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS) is not a curriculum, but rather a training tool for teachers, said Christy Henry, a reading teacher who works with the district’s most at-risk readers.
