Ignite Reading recommends the following best practices to minimize time slot and student roster changes, and to select students best suited for the program:
Student Selection
- Use previous literacy data to determine which students are most at-risk of not learning to read
- Review school attendance data for selected students to ensure optimal program attendance
- Prior to submission to Ignite Reading, review student roster with classroom teachers to finalize student selection and ensure accurate student information
- Proactively prepare a waitlist of students with all required information to save time during the student replacement process
Time Slots
- Before finalizing your time slots, talk with teachers and other key stakeholders and review selected time slots to account for any school schedule changes (e.g. regular early dismissal days, etc.)
