RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION
• An early-intervention program that seeks to help students with learning difficulties.
• RtI was created as an alternative to the discrepancy model (What children are tested to do such as IQ, and what they are actually doing in the classroom)
• Identifies low achieving students not children with identified learning disabilities.
RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION PROCESS
• Screen• ID students to need intervention
• Teach• Understand the core-curriculum gives teachers all the
tools to teach reading. If student is still struggling they need extra help.
• Intervene• Provide at-risk students with extras (more time, small
group instruction, etc.)
RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION PROCESS CONTINUED
• Probe• Check progress frequently
• Chart• Data is charted to show growth towards a specific goal
• Adjust• If data is not showing enough/much improvement adjust the process
• There are 3 Tiers used in RtI
RTI PROS/CONS
PROS• Prevents students
from being labeled with a disability.• Individual plans
based for each child.• Compensates in
many subjects not just reading
CONS• Students may be pulled
out of the normal classroom
• Expensive for the school to hire these specialists
• Child may feel inadequate
READING RECOVERY
What is it?
• Reading intervention program
• Works with first graders who are struggling in reading. This is early intervention in hopes that the student will meet grade level expectations as soon as possible.
• Designed in New Zealand over 30 years ago.
• Was adopted into U.S. school in the 1980s because of its overseas success.
READING RECOVERY
• Reading Recovery works fast. Students are identified in Kindergarten as struggling readers and are immediately tested.
• If selected for the program, these students will work with a highly trained tutor 30 minutes a day for 12-30 weeks.
• Students are taught reading and phonics.
READING RECOVERY
PROS• Students make
dramatic growth, causing them to grow in other areas• One-on-one attention• Students work with
highly trained teachers

students, only those who are far behind.• Isolates the student

support• Works through:• Leadership• Powerful Instruction• School-wide Support and Intervention Tools• Professional Development• Research
SUCCESS FOR ALL
PROS• School-wide, forced
the school as a whole to set goals• Celebrates success • Framework built on
