This specialist provides students reading below grade level in reading with small group instruction in basic reading skills. Such instruction is coordinated with classroom teachers. The LARS manages the language arts, school-wide reading program to insure that the language arts reading standards are met for each child. The main focus of the LARS is to promote reading and writing in the school.
