Introduction The Waterford Early Reading Program is a comprehensive early intervention curriculum. With three levels for emergent, beginning, and fluent readers, it is designed to overcome obstacles to literacy development early so that all children can learn to read. Each level includes four essential components:

♦ Yearlong on-line curriculum. A full year of daily research-based instruction.

♦ Teacher Guides. Off-line resources include a comprehensive Language Arts curriculum. This can be supplemented with the addition of special guides designed to meet the needs of Special Education, English Language Learners, and Gifted students.

♦ Student materials. Personal libraries of books and learning materials for each child.

♦ Teacher training. Ongoing support for teachers in using each Waterford component to create a balanced curriculum.
