REWARDS = SUCCESS
REWARDS INTERVENTION PROGRAM Emerged from Dr. Anita Archer’s ideas
Students were significantly below grade level in reading skills
Incorporates the Gradual Release model I do We do You do
Focuses on decoding long words Identifying Prefixes, suffixes, and vowels
sounds Segmenting longer words(Archer, Gleason, & Vachon, 2006)
REWARDS Intervention helps various age groups and subjects
• Intermediate (4th-6th grades)
• Secondary (6th grade +)
• Plus Social Studies (6th grades +)

• Plus Writing (6th grades +) (Sopris Learning, n.d.)
REWARDS INTERMEDIATE (4-6 GRADES)
Created for students who are at or above 2.5 grade level
Various assessments are used to identify students
San Diego Quick Assessment Woodcock Reading Mastery
Tests Students that struggle with
long words, word identification, and oral reading can benefit from REWARDS
(Archer et al, 2006)
(Microsoft Clipart, 2011)
REWARDS INTERMEDIATE
Helps with comprehension
Improves decoding ability of students
Helps with multisyllabic word identification and understanding
Expands vocabulary Fluency will also
increase
(Archer et al, 2006) (Microsoft Clipart, 2011)
REWARDS INTERMEDIATE
25 Scripted lessons Each lesson is approx.
50 minutes per day Evidenced based Pretest/Posttest helps
with monitoring Lessons 1-15 preskills Lessons 16-25

EVIDENCED-BASED INTERVENTION
Study:
18 days of instruction students showed huge gains with the REWARDS program over students who were taught general decoding lessons. (Archer, Gleason, Vachon, &
Hollenbeck, 2001)
Study: Struggling 4th and 5th graders who were a REWARDS group made significant gains over students in a control group.(Sopris Learning, n.d.)
(Sopris Learning, n.d.)
