About mCLASS Intervention
Getting students caught up on reading skills requires more than just “extra help” in small groups. It requires teaching focused directly on the specific skills each group needs to learn next. How does mCLASS Intervention help? It does the heavy lifting of data analysis and lesson generation.
Our approach
mCLASS Intervention follows a research-based skills progression and uses software to analyze results, form small groups, build engaging lessons for each group, and update skill profiles and groups every ten days.
Measure skills
Every 10 days, educators progress monitor students on the skills they’re working on. mCLASS Intervention analyzes these results, so it can update students’ placement on the learning progression and identify what they should focus on next.
Group students
Once each student’s profile is updated, mCLASS Intervention analyzes the results of other students and arranges students by skill into small groups of up to 4-6.
Generate lessons
Once groups are formed, mCLASS Intervention determines the ideal focus for each group and automatically prepares two weeks of lessons targeted to current needs of each group. See a sample here.
Teach students
Staff then deliver the lessons to the small group of students—either with the interventionist coming into the room or the students going to a different room.
What's included
Students in Grades K–6 benefit from mCLASS Intervention and the program covers the five big ideas of reading: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. mCLASS Intervention comes with a mix of print and digital components to help you serve students.
Targeted lesson plans
mCLASS Intervention provides a bank of over 4,000 research-backed activities, including multisensory activities that use auditory, visual, tactile and kinesthetic techniques.
Lesson builder
The lesson builder automatically assembles activities into detailed lessons that target the skills each group is ready to learn.
Easy-to-use lesson materials
mCLASS Intervention provides both print kit materials and a digital card app to help you streamline lesson preparation.
Practice app
The practice app allows students to continue to improve their automaticity in decoding with engaging games.
Progress monitoring
Standardized diagnostic probes allow educators to closely monitor progress.
Educator and administrator reports
Analytical reporting allows educators to see each student’s progress throughout the year.
