[MOSAIC] Reading Specialists Schedules

[Humerickhouse, Elizabeth]

I'm so jealous!  We have (for the first time!) a reading specialist (and no paras) that divides her time between 2 buildings with a total of approximately 1500 students.  She is spread tooooo thin!  For example, she sees five 3rd graders for 30 minutes twice a week.
 
However, my (related) question is -- why is the focus at the intermediate grades?  It seems like it's remedial work now, rather than preventative work that could be done with the primary kids.  Is it a reaction to test scores?
