How do you suggest to approach the instructional aspect of this program? Meaning, what skills are essential for struggling readers? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) One way you could approach the after school program is to include 4 teachers. Each teacher would focus on one important area of reading so that students are exposed to them all. One teacher would teach a session of phonics, one fluency, one vocabulary, and one comprehension. Depending on the amount of time you have, students could go to two sessions each day and follow with the other two the next day. Students would be grouped for each session based on the assessment data that you have, with each group being a similar level. This may mean that you have some first, second, and third graders together, but they would be receiving instruction appropriate for them. One school in my system as approached summer school in this way, and they've experienced great results!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Using more teachers is a good idea.
