Susan Trumbo and Diane Gilliam came to my school and helped me choose students for the Word ID program. I had chosen 12 students from Word Mapping and Susan and Diane administered the TOWRE. We then chose seven students who would be ideal for the program and my school scheduling team was able to grant me time in the day for this small group (every other day). This was key!!! Without this, the group of students would have been much larger and more diverse, thus creating obstacles for successful implementation to all.
Instruction is centred around the group facing each other, supporting each other with memory techniques and strategy reminders. This is my favorite time of the day! Respect, fun, and daily reading improvement make things great.
