Striving readers are students who are currently reading below grade level and need an extra boost to help them catch up with the rest of their class. This might also include English learners, students affected by the summer slide, and readers who are stagnant at their current reading level and need help building reading confidence. Striving readers sometimes get discouraged as they strive to find books that engage them.
Small group instruction is an optimal way for teachers to support striving readers while keeping them in the classroom reading community.
