Math Literature
These engaging stories have been designed to develop early mathematical concepts. Children who develop mathematical language become much more successful problem solvers. When children understand the links between mathematical ideas, they are also more able to succeed with skills such as number facts. The stories provide a vehicle for developing these skills. Lesson plans in each big book provide suggestions for using the stores as well as additional activities.

Research Base
- The Effects of Early Reading Intervention
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Early Reading Intervention on the reading achievement of a select group of at-risk kindergarten through second-grade students. - Interim Report on the Effects of ERI: A RTI Model of Service Delivery
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Early Reading Intervention on the reading achievement of a select group of at-risk kindergarten through 3rd grade students. This study addresses two primary research questions: 1. What effect does the program have on the reading achievement of selected at-risk students? 2. How does student participation in the ERI intervention program affect the school’s decision to refer a student for special education evaluation? (This question cannot be answered until the study is completed.) - Research Base for Early Reading Intervention
Learning to read is not an innate ability. Some students seem to effortlessly enter into the reading process. Other students struggle from the start. The gap between low-performing and proficient readers continues to widen as struggling readers fall further behind their more profi cient-reading peers (Stanovich 1986). Only through systematic, strategic, and intensive intervention can these struggling readers begin to close that gap. The Wright Group Early Reading Intervention program provides this needed intervention for students in kindergarten through grade 3.
