How Funding Can Support IMSE Training
IMSE Impact can be integrated with existing programs or stand on its own for those K-3 students “learning to read” as well as Grades 3+ students “reading to learn” across all tiers of intervention.
Teaching teachers to teach reading more effectively yields immediate returns for schools and districts. Effective instruction means:
- More successful students, and thus more students “reading to learn” beginning grade 4
- Fewer students needing IEPs, therefore, budgets stretch farther
