With the increased emphasis on standardized testing from state and federal mandates, the need for reading remediation has intensified. Programs directed toward increasing student test scores have been put in place nationwide with mixed results. These initiatives include response to intervention (RTI), direct instruction, and individualized education programs (IEPs); however, the focus remains on correcting students' problems, rather than on creating an environment in which success is not only attainable but also allows students to flourish. Imagine a place where students are motivated, intrigued, and eager to find what the teacher has planned for the day. This is not fantasy; this place is known as a reading clinic. This article aims to detail specifics on how to effectively structure and lead operations at a reading clinic at any grade level--from elementary to postsecondary school.
