Paraprofessionals are often responsible for providing students with support during academic classes. In order for that support to be successful and to help improve student achievement, paraprofessionals should be provided with the training and support they require. As an additional strategy to improve both reading performance in the classroom and during state-wide assessment, paraprofessionals will learn a variety of different strategies to help boost student performance in reading and apply it across the curriculum.
