• Reading Interventions


    Our literacy intervention program at Arbor View is named Reading Club.  This program is designed to promote growth in reading and writing.   Our goal is to build on your child’s literacy strengths while helping his/her to clear up confusions and difficulties.  Instruction is centered upon the Common Core Standards and focuses on the needs of the children in the group. Students are closely monitored to ensure progress and assessment data is shared with both students and parents. We consistently meet with classroom teachers to ensure that children’s learning in Reading Club is transferring into the classroom.
