English term or phrase: Walk to read
Walk to Read intervention program was used to assist all students in individualized instruction.

United States
Programa "Walk to Read"
Explanation:
Por lo que he visto, los nombres de este tipo de programas se suelen dejar en inglés porque se trata justamente del nombre del programa. Podrías optar por traducirlo entre paréntesis la primera vez que aparece, en ese caso podría ser algo del estilo "Programa de enseñanza personalizada de lectura".

Tomado del sitio de referencia:

With Thompson's help, Wheaton began implementing key elements of this Clinton-era grant that had not been adequately addressed. The first priority was a full commitment to a 90-minute literacy block at each grade level. Along with this came the implementation of a Walk to Read model of instruction, which organizes students into small groups based on their individual instructional levels.

The combination of these two components provided students with the maximum amount of direct, individualized instruction at a level that was neither too easy nor too difficult. To do this, Wheaton had to coordinate the schedule of all available staff, including the school's 13 paraeducators.

In a typical first-grade literacy block, each certified teacher is assigned a group of students at or near the same reading level. At the beginning of the 90-minute block, students "walk" to the appropriate classroom, where the certified teacher is joined by two paraeducators. The students are then divided into groups of seven or fewer, again based on their individual reading level. In this way, students are grouped with others that most closely match their own instructional level and are then provided with at least 90 full minutes of small-group direct instruction.

For both Wheaton and Thompson, the Walk to Read model is the most important element of their new reading program.
