 St. Monica Parish School is committed to early intervention and support for students as they progress through the various stages of developing reading proficiency.

Our reading specialist devotes one class period per day to each of the K-5 classrooms.  Depending on the needs of the particular class, this time may be used to provide re-teaching, enrichment and extension, reduced class size or remediation.
