Frequently Asked Questions
Certified Reading Intervention is a specialized, evidence-based approach designed to help students who struggle with reading skills like decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Unlike general reading tutoring, it follows structured protocols and assessment methods to identify specific reading gaps and target them with intensive, systematic instruction. Tutors trained in this approach use diagnostic data to create personalized intervention plans that address each student's unique challenges.
Students across Provo's 33 schools face a range of reading difficulties, from phonemic awareness and decoding struggles in younger grades to comprehension and fluency issues in upper grades. With an average student-teacher ratio of 19.6:1, many students benefit from additional personalized support to catch up with grade-level expectations. Reading intervention tutoring addresses these gaps through targeted practice and individualized feedback that classroom instruction alone may not provide.
The process typically begins with a diagnostic assessment to identify specific reading deficits in areas like phonics, sight words, fluency, or comprehension. Based on these results, a tutor creates a customized intervention plan with clear goals and evidence-based strategies. Sessions focus on systematic, structured instruction with regular progress monitoring to ensure the student is making measurable gains and adjusting strategies as needed.
Reading intervention is most effective when started early—ideally in elementary grades when foundational skills like phonemic awareness and decoding are being developed. However, students at any grade level can benefit from intervention if they're struggling with reading skills. Middle and high school students often benefit from intervention focused on fluency, comprehension strategies, and vocabulary to support content-area learning.
Many students show noticeable improvements in fluency and confidence within 4-6 weeks of consistent, focused intervention. However, the timeline depends on the severity of the reading gap and how frequently the student receives tutoring. Regular sessions combined with practice at home typically accelerate progress, and ongoing monitoring helps ensure the student continues advancing toward grade-level reading proficiency.
Look for tutors who hold certifications in reading intervention programs like Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, or similar evidence-based approaches. Ideally, they have training in reading science, phonics instruction, and assessment interpretation. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in Certified Reading Intervention and a track record of helping students overcome reading challenges.
Parents play a crucial role by encouraging daily reading practice, using strategies the tutor recommends, and creating a supportive reading environment at home. Consistency is key—even 15-20 minutes of focused practice several times a week reinforces what the student learns in tutoring sessions. Your tutor can provide specific activities and resources tailored to your child's intervention plan.
Start by connecting with Varsity Tutors to discuss your student's reading challenges and goals. You'll be matched with a tutor who has expertise in Certified Reading Intervention and understands the needs of students in Provo. The tutor will conduct an initial assessment and develop a personalized intervention plan to help your student build strong reading skills and confidence.
