Summary Table for FCRR Reports

Supplemental Intervention Reading Programs or Comprehensive Intervention Reading Programs for Students Above Third Grade

We would encourage schools to use the table below very carefully. It is meant only as an initial indicator of the extent to which specific areas of instruction are explicitly included in programs that have been reviewed. The best strategy is always to consider the specific needs of the students with whom the program will be used, and then pick a program that will most powerfully meet those needs. For example, if many students in your school need extra support or interventions in the area of reading fluency, then the extent to which a program provides powerful instruction in that area would be an important consideration. Programs that provide coverage across all possible areas of reading development may be an excellent choice for students who need extra, or more explicit instruction in all areas of reading development, but a comprehensive program may not provide as powerful instruction in a single important area (i.e. phonics, vocabulary, fluency, or reading comprehension) as one that is primarily focused on that area, and might be more difficult to use in providing focused instructional support in a given area. It is very important to read the FCRR Report for every program that you are considering. The reports provide specific details that we are unable to convey in the summary table.

Specific information can be found at the bottom of the table or by rolling the mouse over each category within the table.
