LLI turns struggling readers into successful readers with engaging leveled books and fast-paced, systematically designed lessons.

The LLIsystems are designed to be used with small groups of students who need intensive support to achieve grade level competencies in grades K through 12. It also provides strong support for students who are acquiring English as an additional language and are receiving classroom reading instruction in English. You may also decide to include students who are identified as having special needs if the content of LLImeets the educational program specifications for the student.

16-18 days 13-15 days 10-12 days 7-9 days 4-6 days 1-3 days Feedback and Stories from the Field

• Teacher emailed parents prior to a book coming home. Provided information about book, encouraged parents to let the child read the book to them, and provided discussion ideas for the parent when talking about the book with their child. • Getting student to read at home was very unpleasant for all. After student began bringing home books, she began writing and illustrating her own book. • Students did not want the Summer Reading Program to end. They wanted to keep coming to school throughout the summer. (Some even cried!) • Many teachers have said they want to do this again next year. (60% of the teachers working this year also worked last year.) • Students took great pride in writing their name in the books that they got to keep. Some students did not have many books at home that they could call their own. Next steps…..

• Results shared with each principal to review with next year’s classroom teacher and Response to Intervention (RtI) team • Fountas and Pinnell and MAP assessments will be conducted within the first few weeks of school to ascertain current reading levels and areas of needed focus • Resources used during EYSRP are available at each school for further use • We will be conducting Literacy Academic Audits at each elementary and middle school during the 2017-18 school year to determine successes and areas that need improvement.
