Would Corrective Reading be appropriate for groups of 10 students in grades 5 or 6? These are not L.D. students just students considered “at risk”. They are currently at least one reading level below their grade level.
Also, what is the maximum number of students you can use this program with? Has anyone used it and seen success with this program?
Re: Corrective Reading for grades 5 and 6
I am using Corrective Reading this year and I am seeing improvement in my students’ reading. These students are in 6th-8th grade-give the placement test to make sure everyone is pretty much at the same level. One lesson takes about 45 minutes, so it would be hard to run two groups with this program.

10 is prob’ly a little big - I had five or six and that worked well. However, if you’re good with class management & with doing the whole scripted thing, I think it could work well.
HOWEVER>
There’s a specific placement test for Corrective Rearding that I would want to do first to make sure they were at the appropriate level. If one or two kiddos are really in a different place with those specific skills, it could throw everything off.
