Xtreme Reading has been nationally recognized by the Institute of Educational Sciences as a reading intervention program that works especially as a Tier 2 reading intervention course for secondary students. In the year-long reading class, students learn eight Strategic Instruction Model (SIM) research-validated strategies to build skills in the areas of vocabulary development and reading comprehension as well as explicit strategies for classroom behavior, motivation, cooperative learning and thinking, and goal-setting.
Teachers are provided with all of the curriculum materials needed to teach a reading intervention class including detailed daily lesson plans and a curriculum pacing guide for the year. The IES data indicated students enrolled in the Xtreme Reading intervention program demonstrated a growth of 3-4 grade levels in reading after a year of instruction.
