Students accessing reading comprehension support at Har-Bur Middle school primarily receive instruction using the following programs. See below for a brief description of these programs.
The Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention System (LLI) from the Heinemann website is an intensive, small-group, supplementary literacy intervention for students who find reading and writing difficult. The goal of LLI is to lift the literacy achievement of students who are not achieving grade-level expectations in reading. The LLI systems are designed to:
- Advance the literacy learning of students not meeting grade-level expectations in reading
- Deepen and expand comprehension with close reading
- Elevate the expertise of teachers
- Increase reading volume by engaging students in large amounts of successful daily reading
- Increase student engagement with books that build knowledge
- Intervene with small groups of struggling readers to maximize growth
- Meet the needs of struggling readers
- Monitor student progress.
Students may receive reading comprehension support through our reading center three to six days of our six day schedule rotation cycle.

Fast ForWord from https://www.scilearn.com/products/fast-forword is an evidence-based program that uses a revolutionary 3-step intervention model to directly target and fix the root causes of language and reading difficulty so learners make fast improvements that continue even after they finish the program.. Designed by renowned neuroscientists, the New Fast ForWord is the ideal solution for K-12 intervention.
1. Fast ForWord prepares the brain for reading by improving the language and cognitive skills that are weak in struggling students (MAPS — memory, attention, processing speed, and sequencing).
2.With Fast ForWord, your students receive personalized, intensive practice on a wide variety of language and reading skills - more than any other approach or intervention. Intensity is the key to getting far better results — fast.
3.Using speech verification technology, our program listens to students as they read aloud and provides corrective guided reading feedback to help reinforce new language and reading skills and rapidly build fluency comprehension.

Lexia PowerUp is a technology-based reading program which helps students in grades 6 and above to become proficient readers and confident learners. The program is organized into three instructional strands: Word Study, Grammar, and Comprehension.
