Reading Interventions for RTI

Reading interventions for implementing RTI. Response to intervention requires the use of RTI interventions for a children reading program.

Response to intervention is about choosing the right medicine to cure the problem.

Tiered reading interventions that can be implemented through the Response To Intervention process.

A DIBELS intervention (or other researched based RTI resources) occurs when data is analyzed from either a universal screener or progress monitoring.

Think of it like a doctor: diagnose the reason why a child is a struggling reader, prescribe a treatment plan (like a DIBELS intervention) based on the severity of the reading diagnosis, progress monitor with approved RTI resources, and re-evaluate frequently the response to intervention program being used.

When students needs are not being met through the standard children reading program, it is time to introduce RTI resources.

reading interventions for RTI RTI resources are also appropriate for the higher achieving students. Districts are analyzing how to use data as a response to intervention for gifted students.

These students must show high growth and meet their AYP (adequate yearly progress) goals, and will benefit from gifted reading interventions.

After giving a universal screener such as DIBELS, AIMS Web or the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS), the data should be used to determine which reading response to intervention or RTI resources are most suitable.

Tiered Reading Interventions

Tier 1 interventions for reading are basically excellent classroom teaching using evidence-based methods of instruction. This is where a teacher's creativity and knowledge of how to best use a children reading program can shine.

One of the main goals of teaching reading is to motivate students to read. This is done at the first tier of RTI resources.

Once this hurdle is crossed, most students will begin to naturally become better readers. A proven motivator for encouraging kids to read is Reading Karate.

There are also Tools for Struggling Students that can be integrated with technology into your daily children reading programs.

It cannot be emphasized enough, however, that regular classroom instruction in the five components of reading must be done with integrity every day before any thoughts of response to intervention should come into play.

If you are having difficulty getting those critical lessons in, try using Teachable Poetry for Fluency and Comprehension. This resource is currently being used as part of a DIBELS intervention study with a fluency protocol by Dr. Timothy Rasinski out of Kent State.

^{Note that the PALS referenced as an intervention is NOT the same as PALS referenced as a universal screener.}

There are always other techniques and strategies that are worthwhile with teaching reading to children.

Although they might not be a documented intervention, they are techniques that all good teachers should use at Tier 1 RTI.
