Ok, I will be teaching "reading intervention" next year in an elementary setting. I don't know details yet but I was told that the students will mostly be in the 1st to 3rd grades and a few up to 5th grade.

General questions: reading intervention is the same as or similar to remedial reading? Will some of these students have disabilities or will most of them or does it "just depend" ?

What would a sample class period "look" like? Is there a place for reading to these students in class or not? I studied reading in college but that was 8 or 9 years ago! Thanks for any comments/info you can pass my way!

suzy I am curious...what is the title for your position?

Remedial means you fix something. Intervention means that you see what a child needs to learn and teach that. These terms come from two different points of view.

OP Suzy, that's a good question. They haven't actually pinned down what I'll be teaching other than to say "reading intervention." They've also mentioned dyslexia. I will have to wait until I get more information before I can find the answers to my questions! Thanks for the definitions, though! :)
