Success for All (SFA) is a comprehensive reading approach designed to ensure that every child will read at grade level or above. The program emphasizes prevention and early intervention to respond to and solve any child's learning problems.

Success for All provides schools with:

• Research-based curriculum materials.
• Extensive professional development in proven instructional strategies.
• Assessment and data-monitoring tools.
• Classroom management techniques.
• One-to-one tutoring for struggling students.
• Ongoing family involvement and community support.

The Success for All reading program is based on extensive research into the ways children learn to read and write. At the heart of the program is 90 minutes of uninterrupted, daily reading instruction.

Beginning in the first grade, children are grouped across classes and grades by reading level. Regrouping gives each teacher the opportunity to work intensively with students one reading level at a time.

Cooperative learning embedded throughout the program focuses on individual student accountability, common goals, and recognition of group success. Providing the opportunity to work with peers enables students to master basic reading skills as they continue to grow as thoughtful learners.

In the Success for All reading program students are required to read at least 5 nights a week for 20 minutes.  Please sign your child's calendar each day he or she reads.  Reading at home improves your child's reading abilities in school. 

(Para el exito de todos los estudiantes de el programa de leer se les requiere que lean en casa por lo menos 5 dias a la semana por 20 minutos cada dia.  Favor de firmar este calendario en cada dia que su estudiante lea.)_________________________________________________________________________________________
