Corrective Reading provides intensive and accelerated reading intervention. The Direct Instruction program delivers tightly sequenced, carefully planned lessons that give struggling students the structure and practice necessary to become skilled, fluent readers and empowered learners. Four levels for decoding plus four for comprehension address the varied reading deficits and skill levels found among older students.
Decoding Strand
Each level of SRA’s Corrective Reading Decoding program has features that have been demonstrated through research studies to be effective in improving student performance.
The Decoding strand directly addresses all critical reading components including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Note that vocabulary and comprehension are addressed more thoroughly by the companion Corrective Reading Comprehension strand.
Decoding B1 and B2 refine word-attack skills by introducing new words and promoting word discrimination. Students build fluency and comprehension by reading stories of increasing length and difficulty.
