Get struggling K–6 readers on track with our reading intervention program.
mCLASS® Intervention is a staff-led reading intervention that does the heavy lifting of data analysis and lesson sequencing, freeing up teachers to teach the reading skills each student needs.
About mCLASS Intervention
Getting ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp caught up on reading skills requires more than just “extra help” in small groups. It requires teaching that directly targets the specific skills each group needs to learn next. How does mCLASS Intervention help? It does the heavy lifting of data analysis and lesson generation.
Research-based, classroom-tested
K–2 ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp in mCLASS® Intervention grew by up to 8 student growth percentile points more in early literacy skills than similar peers not enrolled in mCLASS Intervention, according to a study by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).
Our approach
mCLASS® Intervention follows a research-based skills progression and uses software to analyze results, form small groups, build engaging lessons for each group, and update skill profiles and groups every 10 days.
Measure skills
Every 10 days, educators progress-monitor ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp on the skills they’re working to build. mCLASS Intervention analyzes these results, updates ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp’ placement on the learning progression, and identifies what they should focus on next.
Group ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp
Once each student’s profile is updated, mCLASS® Intervention analyzes the results of other ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp and arranges ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp by skill into small groups of 4–6.
Generate lessons
Once groups are formed, mCLASS® Intervention determines the ideal focus for each group and automatically prepares two weeks of targeted lessons. See a sample here.
Teach ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp
Staff then deliver the lessons to the small group of ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp—either with the interventionist coming into the room or the ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp going to a different room.
What’s included
mCLASS Intervention covers the five big ideas of reading: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The program comes with a mix of print and digital components to help you serve ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp.
