What is the Comprehensive Intervention Model? CIM The CIM is a systemic approach to literacy improvement.

The CIM Framework includes a combination of high-quality, differentiated classroom instruction; a portfolio of research-based interventions; a seamless assessment system at an individual and system level; and school-embedded professional learning for increasing teacher efficacy and building capacity in schools.

What Really Matters for Struggling Readers and Writers? VOLUME MATTERS “Everyone has heard the proverb ‘Practice makes perfect. ’ In learning to read it is true that reading practice - just reading – is a powerful contributor to the development of accurate, fluent, high-comprehension reading. ” Richard Allington
What Really Matters for Struggling Readers and Writers? SUCCESS MATTERS “High success reading is absolutely critical to reading development and to the development of positive stances toward reading. ” Richard Allington
What Really Matters for Struggling Readers and Writers? FLUENCY MATTERS “The ability to read with appropriate phrasing and expression is important for fluency. In essence, reading fluency refers to accurate and automatic decoding of the words in the text, along with expressive interpretation of the text, to achieve optimal comprehension. Fluency is important in reading, then, because it affects how well readers understand what they read. ”
What Really Matters for Struggling Readers and Writers? MEANING MATTERS “We are the meaning makers, every one of us: children, parents, and teachers. To try to make sense, to construct stories, and to share them with others in speech and in writing is an essential part of being human. For those of us who are more knowledgeable and mature – parents and teachers – the responsibility is clear: to interact with those in our care in such a way as to foster and enrich their meaning making. ” Gordon Wells
“Let’s put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children. ” Sitting Bull Thank you for all you do! Elizabeth Olsen elizabethliteracy@gmail. com elizabethliteracy. com
