Literacy Wings is a research-based, small group, supplementary intervention designed to help struggling early literacy learners in kindergarten, first, and second grades. The aim of the Literacy Wings Intervention program is to produce independent readers who:
~ Monitor their own reading and writing
~ Search for different kinds of information at various levels of difficulty
~ Read in a phrased and fluent manner

The Literacy Wings Complete Collection includes:
~ 1,386 books (6 copies of 231 titles)
~ 280 carefully constructed lesson plans
~ 13 prompting cards for levels A-M
~ Materials needed to support lessons
~ 7 sturdy Literacy Wings storage boxes
~ Literacy Wings Teacher Resource Guide DVD

Literacy Wings supports students by building a strong reading vocabulary, reading fluency, and comprehension skills. Over the course of a week of lessons, students read a new book each day and a new nonfiction book each week. Each week, they compose a story about something they have learned from reading a nonfiction book and learn about how letters and words work using magnetic letters. Students build a core of words they can read and write. Lessons include guided reading using leveled books, phonics/word work, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary development. Each lesson also includes suggestions for working with second language students.

Literacy Wings will help to accelerate learning and reduce the number of students referred to special education for reading difficulties.
