Evidence · no claims cited
Description¶
The program organizes intervention as rotation of small groups of four students through instructional stations. In RISE, "groups of four students rotate through four instruction stations for 45-60 minutes per day for six to eight weeks"; RISE Up uses three stations focused on comprehension strategies on a short text for 45 minutes a day. The rotation distributes explicit, structured instruction across comprehension, word study, phonics, and writing.
