Who We Are and What We Do

District 118 is fortunate to have reading resource services available to all learners.  The Reading Team is composed of two parts:  The Emergent Reading Program and the Reading Resource Program.

The Emergent Learning Program reinforces pre-reading skills to kindergarten, first and second grade students.  These skills include:

·       Developing phonemic awareness

·       Learning letter sounds

·       Identifying upper and lowercase letters

·       Recognizing basic sight words

·       Increasing fluency

·       Building comprehension

The Reading Resource Program works with students in grades three, four and five who need extra support in reading.  Reading skills taught by the classroom teacher are reinforced. These skills include:

·        Reinforcing phonics

·        Increasing vocabulary

·        Building fluency

·        Improving comprehension

This support, which is given in the reading resource room as well as in the classroom, often is just what is needed to ensure success in reading.
