During the half-day program, children participate in two instructional sessions designed to meet their learning needs. All students receive one hour of instruction in an evidence-based explicit phonics program such as Wilson or Orton Gillingham. During the second instructional session, students receive explicit instruction using components of the RAVE-O program to develop their fluency skills. Based on their learning profile, students may also receive explicit instruction in sight word recognition, reading comprehension, and/or support with written expression.
