the context of interesting reading passages. Also the program includes phonics in the
context of rhyming words from the reading passages. Rapid Reading Intervention, Book 1 has thirteen lessons with graded reading passages from high grade 1 to high grade 3 reading levels.
In each lesson,
Rapid Reading Intervention, Book 1 includes phrase-cued
reading, repeated reading, timed reading, and reading with
expression all of which develop reading fluency.
