The reading specialist at the junior high provides a variety of services. In a collaborative effort, she works with teachers to develop and promote literacy and thinking strategies in the classroom. As a diagnostician, she administers both group and individual evaluations of reading achievement and recommends activities to build comprehension. For intervention, individual students and small groups meet with her to receive instruction and build literacy competencies. In addition, the reading specialist works with staff and parents to promote events that support literacy.
