Developing Effective RTI Reading Interventions: Guidelines for Schools
  
Workshop Description
Literacy skills form a foundation for student school succe ss. This workshop delivers technical assistance to elementary schools in how to set up a comprehensive RTI reading intervention model that will provide early identification and remediation of struggling readers—while also reliably identifying those ‘non-responding’ students who may eventually require special education services.  The workshop provides guidelines for (1) identifying effective ‘evidence-based’ reading programs, (2) selecting appropriate methods to monitor student reading progress, and (3) implementing, documenting, and evaluating the right customized reading intervention plan for each struggling learner. All workshop strategies are tied to the multi-tier RTI problem-solving model now in use in schools across the nation.
 
Workshop Outcomes
As a result of this workshop, participants will be knowledgeable of:
 
  • how the RTI model supports effective reading interventions.
  • criteria that qualify a reading program as ‘evidence-based’.
  • a range of instruments and measures appropriate for measuring student reading progress.
  • recommendations for setting up small-group RTI reading interventions.
  • guidelines for creating, documenting, and evaluating successful individualized student intervention plans.
  • free reading intervention and assessment resources available on the Internet to help schools to develop their own comprehensive RTI reading plan.
