What Is a Literacy Interventionist?
Literacy Interventionists work intensively with students to help improve specific reading skills such as letter-sound knowledge, initial sounds, phoneme manipulation, decoding, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension strategies that will support students in developing the reading skills appropriate to age, grade level, or individual capacity. Interventionists can work with the classroom teacher to assist in designing methods of learning that are most appropriate. A Literacy Interventionist addresses the specific needs of students who may need more literacy support than can be provided in the classroom.
