Colfax has two learning centers, an upper grade and lower grade, which serve our special needs and intervention students.

Intervention Programs

Student Success

Read Naturally

Teachers and the Student Success Team refer students to the learning centers to participate in the Read Naturally Intervention Program. Small groups of students keep binders where they chart their words-per-minute fluency on a “cold read” of a passage that is at their instructional level. The students then use iPods to listen to the passage being read with correct pace, pronunciation, and intonation of the passage. Every students’ progress is monitored on a daily basis.  Students are able to see the immediate result of their progress on the graphs where they chart the number of words they read per minute.  The students are motivated by the graphs of their progress.  The students set goals with the Resource Teacher and celebrate the progress they make as they advance to more challenging passages. Every six weeks, a district fluency assessment is administered and teachers use these scores to plan curriculum and modify student placement in Read Naturally groups.  Groups are fluid so that students can graduate out after meeting grade level benchmarks and move in when additional needs arise.
