Reading: Project Prevent Description
Miss. Jan Blew -Reading Specialist
Project Prevent is an intensive tutorial program developed for use with first grade children who need extra reading support. In Project Prevent, a specially trained teacher works daily with each child for a one-half hour lesson, which includes both text reading and writing. Each child remains in the program until he/she is able to independently read grade level material.
Dr. Darrell Morris developed this program, while at National-Louis University, Evanston, Illinois. Morris is responsible for extensive research in early literacy. He conceived a program that he felt was firmly grounded in current theory and research. He implemented the Project Prevent Program in Skokie in the fall of 1987. With the success of Project Prevent in Skokie, the program has been carried into other districts.
