Definition of Reading Intervention. Reading intervention is a program, supplementary to an existing literacy curriculum, that is provided to students for the primary purpose of increasing reading levels. Such programs can be administered both in and out of the traditional classroom environment.
Independent reading lets students practice strategies that they learned during the other instructional contexts along the gradual release of responsibility. During independent reading, students read from texts on their independent reading level or texts that are easy enough for them to decode and understand without a lot of effort. Research Basis The goals of independent reading are to practice a smoothly operating reading process, to exercise choice, and develop reading interests.
