RTI (Response to Intervention)

This whole RTI process was new to me and I couldn’t help but think it is a process worth investigating. Responsiveness-To-Intervention: A Blueprint for Practitioners, Policymakers, and Parents seems to lay the process out in a nuts and bolts fashion for us. Maybe I’m just uninformed and we already do this.

Reading Rockets has a great little chart to help reading teaching and kids and parents as well called Target the Problem . The goal of the sheet is to help all parties zoom in on what the reading problem might be and it also gives suggestions on how to work on the specific problems. I love how it gives tips for students and parents too…we all need to work on this together. It has a section of the main difficulties: Problems involving phonological and phonemic awareness, Word decoding and phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, Comprehension and of course Other.
