Reading Intervention
Our Service Model
Train your school aides and support staff on
ESSA-rated, reading science-aligned reading interventions.
Over half of the educators we train each year are paraprofessionals, a group of educators who are often underutilized and lack opportunities for professional development. LT believes that investing in this workforce is key to building capacity in schools, elevating & educating adults from their own communities, and supporting students in culturally responsive & systematic ways.
98% of PD attendees agreed that their training was well organized, easy to follow, and an appropriate length of time, as well as including sufficient practice opportunities.
WHAT IS SOUND PARTNERS?
Sound Partners is a targeted, systematic, and data-driven intervention for K-3rd grade students that provides 20-30 minutes of explicit instruction on phonics and phonemic awareness and was designed for use by non-academics in 1:1 and 1:2 settings. Our team provides comprehensive professional development, individualized coaching, and data management to support schools and community-based organizations in implementing Sound Partners.
Sound Partners is research-validated and highly effective:
