Site Visit Findings Intervention lesson features that stood out were the amount of time students spent reading aloud, the rich and naturally occurring dialogue amongst students, and the amount of writing built into instruction. Students were given opportunities to read chorally as a small group, with educators focusing on individual students for (fll this in - fuency testing?). Additionally impressive was the genuine discussion between instructors and students and between students. RISE students were supported through their oral conclusions with reminders to include vocabulary from the text and chances to point out the text to support their claims. Writing practice felt organic and seamless within RISE lessons. Students had opportunities to spell and compose answers to questions from their teachers. As instructors did during discussions, students were encouraged to use stronger, text-based vocabulary in their written work. As the dependence on technology to mitigate learning loss issues increases, it is worth noting that these lessons involve no technology, putting pencils and books in students’ hands for lessons and maintaining a well-organized library to accompany them. Finally, Scholastic’s choice not to shy away from nonfction texts in early elementary, choosing high-interest and grade-appropriate texts, is a move that will empower students across subjects by building background knowledge composed of historical fgures and events, scientifc terms, and vocabulary.
