The Reading Lab provides targeted instruction designed to accelerate students’ growth in accuracy, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension so they can be successful across content areas. The Reading Lab is a flexible program in which students are grouped by ability, attend regularly, and move in and out of the program based on progress and eligibility criteria.

• Provide daily, intensive reading intervention, including direct instruction (accuracy, fluency, comprehension), guided small-group reading, independent reading, and connected writing.
• Use high-interest, appropriately-leveled texts that support student engagement and reading growth.
• Monitor student progress with ongoing assessments and progress monitoring; use data to set instructional targets and determine exit/continuation from Reading Lab. Typical measures include Fast Bridge, BAS, CBM/WRC,and other formative assessments.
• Communicate and collaborate with classroom teachers, counselors, special educators, and families to coordinate student supports and reinforce skills across settings.
• Maintain accurate records of attendance and intervention data; participate in team meetings and data-review cycles.
• Support students’ language arts and after-school reading requirements as part of a coordinated approach to literacy.
• Promote a positive, growth‑mindset culture that aligns with school PBIS expectations and Raider Way practices.

• Flexible, evidence-based instructional strategies for struggling readers.
• Strong collaborative relationships with classroom teachers and building teams to ensure continuity of instruction.
• Skilled use of assessment data for instructional planning (experience with NWEA Reading, BAS, Fast Bridge, CBM/WRC, and formative measures preferred).
• Ability to engage students through high-interest texts and routines that promote independence, attendance, and consistent growth.
• Commitment to a student-centered, equitable approach to intervention and progress monitoring.

• Experience providing reading intervention instruction.
• Valid teaching license appropriate for assignment.

• K–12 Reading licensure.
  
  Middle Level (5–8) Language Arts / Communications licensure or other related licensure accepted.

• Ability to engage students through high-interest texts and routines that promote independence, attendance, and consistent growth.
