Language and reading comprehension intervention sets the stage for achieving superior written expression abilities that are critical for success in the classroom and beyond. Written language involves lower level skills of punctuation, grammar, and spelling, as well as higher level skills of organization, planning, self-expression, persuasion, and formality. Students who have developed strong foundations in language and reading comprehension, and who have been instructed in an enriching educational environment, often only need short-term intervention to improve their written expression abilities. After they are instructed in the basic techniques of planning, organizing, structuring, connecting, and comprehending the assignment directions, they are able to produce a quality, grade-appropriate text which reflects their cognitive and academic potential, while impressing teachers who have seen them struggle in the past.
