The "Model Secondary (6-12) Plan for Reading Intervention and Development" has been designed to meet the cognitive needs of middle school through high school students whose reading performance ranges from those significantly below expectation through those reading at or above grade level. The reading needs of the population of students in need of intervention are so significant that additional support above and beyond reading in language arts and other content areas is necessary. Students reading at or above grade level will also benefit from explicit reading instruction at a developmental level. Reading intervention instruction requires delivery by a licensed reading professional during a specified daily reading class period. Class size is also of importance and depends upon the program of intervention being delivered. Developmental reading instruction may be delivered through content area courses. This document is designed to assist schools and districts in beginning the process of constructing a reading program. In the process of developing these programs, it is important to investigate research relating to motivation. It is important to provide choice in reading, provide print sources that are at students independent reading levels, provide opportunities to read independently, and provide opportunities to respond and react to text orally and/or in writing.
