Literacy Intervention 

At Los Altos Christian School, we are committed to helping every student grow and thrive as a learner. Our teachers provide strong, structured instruction in reading and writing while recognizing that students develop at different paces and may occasionally need additional support.

At Los Altos Christian School, we are dedicated to helping every student develop strong literacy skills. When a student needs additional support in reading, we provide targeted intervention designed to strengthen specific areas of need.

Students who qualify for this support participate in a daily 50-minute small-group session focused on key foundational skills, including decoding, spelling, reading fluency, and vocabulary development. These small-group sessions allow teachers to provide focused, individualized instruction and close monitoring of each student’s progress.

Intervention sessions are scheduled during a time when the rest of the class is also working on spelling, vocabulary, and grammar. This thoughtful scheduling helps minimize disruptions to core classroom learning while ensuring that students receive the additional support they need to grow in confidence and skill as readers.

Our approach emphasizes:

• Explicit instruction in foundational reading skills
• Guided practice to build fluency and confidence
• Strategies to strengthen spelling and vocabulary

Students receiving intervention are regularly monitored so that progress can be tracked and instruction adjusted as needed.

Because Los Altos Christian School is a general education program, our learning support services are designed to assist students who benefit from targeted intervention within the context of a strong classroom program. 

Is LACS the Right Fit for Your Child?

Students who thrive at Los Altos Christian School are ready to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. Our program is designed for students who can learn successfully in a general education setting and, when needed, benefit from targeted literacy support. We can not support students who require one-on-one instruction or aide support, intensive therapeutic programs, or specialized social, emotional, or behavioral services.
