Literacy Partnership with Mass General Hospital
We are writing to express our gratitude for the high level of interest in participating in the Tier 2 language-focused reading intervention program for first-graders. This research project, led by Tiffany Hogan, Ph.D., Professor at the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at MGH Institute of Health Professions, was designed to assist students at risk of developing language and comprehension difficulties. We are pleased to report that we received a high response rate for participation.
There is good news to share, though it means that our students will not be working with outside interventionists. After the folks at MGH screened all the participants, their data showed that Tewksbury students had phonics and reading skills at levels higher than those who would qualify for support services. This is great! It means that our phonics and reading programs are meeting the needs of our students. There are not enough students who need (they were only looking for 5 per school) their intensive type of support at this time.
We are grateful for your willingness to partner with us. Our partnership with the MGH Institute of Health Professions and SAiL Literacy Lab remains strong, and they continue to provide consultation, coaching, and professional development opportunities to benefit our students. We hope we can count on your participation in future research opportunities, as your enthusiasm for the Tier 2 language-focused reading intervention program was appreciated.
Very truly yours,
