Learn response to intervention (RTI) strategies that ensure the struggling readers in your classroom get the help and education they need. RTI is research-based and gives us a strategic plan to bring tiered interventions to our students, at their reading level and with their unique challenges in mind. Helping them with phonics, fluency, vocabulary mastery, comprehension, and writing, these intervention strategies tackle the toughest literacy problems with flexibility and creativity. Whether you’re working with struggling readers in kindergarten or 12th grade, you’ll find that these strategies work with a full 80% of students, without the need for special pull-outs or extra IEP intervention.

Learning Objectives:

• Discover Elkonin Boxes, alphabetic arcs, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and graphic organizers.
• Describe Response to Intervention and how it helps struggling readers.
• Demonstrate the Phonemic Awareness Strategy.
• Demonstrate fluency and vocabulary-building strategies.
• Use comprehension, writing, differentiating, and content-area strategies to help students struggling with reading.
• Integrate RTI into your curriculum.
