Reading Support Program

Each Elementary school in Naperville has an assigned reading specialist who works with students and serves as a resource to staff members. The reading specialist diagnoses individual students' strengths and weaknesses in reading and then consults with the classroom teacher regarding strategies and approaches to help the student increase his/her reading performance. Direct assistance from the reading specialist in the form of small group instruction occurs in or outside of the classroom.

Project LEAP

First Grade Tutorial Support Model - Each First grade classroom is eligible for a LEAP assistant to provide early intervention in reading for students needing additional instruction. LEAP assistants work one-to-one with students for thirty minutes daily in a tutorial setting.

Kindergarten LEAP - Beginning in February of each year, reading assistance is provided to eligible kindergarten students in a 15 minute daily tutorial.
