Heluhelu— Reading Supports

The Heluhelu component is based on a prevention model designed to address student risks as early as possible. It is based on substantial research that shows (1) reading failure can be prevented with early and appropriate instruction and (2) effective data-driven instructional decision making for improving student achievement is enhanced through a school-wide multi-tiered infrastructure. Instructional methods employed within this model foster students’ understanding of foundational skills in reading. The approach aligns with the empirical summation of multiple years of research findings that conjointly point to skills critical for developing successful readers.
