READING INTERVENTION
The Reading Intervention Program at St. Patrick School is a premium literacy initiative designed to strengthen reading skills from Kindergarten through 2nd Grade. Grounded in the Science of Reading, this evidence-based program uses a structured and multisensory approach to boost phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. With support tailored to each child’s needs—either through personalized pull-out sessions or inclusive in-classroom assistance—students receive the targeted help they need to thrive. Through regular DIBELS assessments and the expertise of trained interventionists, SPS ensures every learner builds a strong foundation in English literacy for long-term academic success.
STANDARDIZED TESTS (MAP)
St. Patrick School implements standardized tests known as "MAP" (Measure of Academic Progress) throughout the school year, designed to enhance student learning. These assessments provide valuable information to teachers, parents, and school administration, enabling them to make informed decisions to support each student's academic growth.
Additionally, MAP tests are essential requirements for international accrediting organizations, as they play a crucial role in the continuous improvement process throughout the accreditation journey.
