Terrific point.  A possible reading intervention would be to assemble  a book/ portfolio of documents that the student needs to master to achieve a particular goal.

I also want to mention that learning to read follows two distinct brain routes--a sound/symbol route and a whole word route.  Research over the last 20 years or so has focused on the sound/symbol route, perhaps because of  government sponsored research which supported a single route theory.
