REWARDS-kWhat is REWARDS?

The REWARDS family of short-term reading and writing intervention materials is specifically designed for adolescent struggling learners in grades 4-12. Developed by award-winning author Dr. Anita Archer, these short-term interventions, consisting of 20-25 lessons, produce long-term literacy achievement.

Why REWARDS?

  • Increases student fluency, vocabulary knowledge, and comprehension skills
  • Increases student success in content-area classes—specifically science and social studies, where advanced reading skills help with understanding concepts and context
  • Provides students practice with the types of questions they are asked on state tests
  • Refines student sentence-writing abilities and the overall sophistication of writing
  • Effectively helps all struggling readers, whether they are English language learners, students with reading disabilities, or those who have simply fallen behind
  • Explicit and systematic support for teachers
