'Rapid Reader' Reading Intervention
This intervention was designed to be a cost-effective, easy to run, speedy intervention which could focus directly upon the child’s reading needs. I have been an English lead for 9 years and decided not to invest in pricey interventions but to create my own using the best ideas from a variety.
This intervention has proven results with most children making an average of 8 months progress in 5 weeks.
Questions for intervention link to VIPERS questions from Literacy Shed (linked to content domains).
Included:
Instructions
KS1 and KS2 Daily Recording Form
Impact Log
Facebook page for video etc: https://www.facebook.com/rapidreaderintervention
Happy to answer any queries.
