Language-Based Reading Problems • Any of the components of language--phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, pragmatics • Problems in production, comprehension and awareness of language at the sound, syllable, word, sentence or discourse level • Difficulties in using language to communicate, think and learn

  6. Response to Intervention Model Universal Screening High quality, research-based instructional strategies Continuous progress monitoring Data-Based decision-making Collaborative Teams for monitoring student progress and determining needs Documented fidelity in implementing explicit, intensive instruction

  7. Research-Based Instructional Strategies • UTES 3-Tiers of Instruction www.utelementary.org • What Works Clearinghouse ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/findwhatworks.aspx • The National Center for RTI www.rti4success.org/resources

  8. Universal Screening Dynamic Indicators of Early Literacy Skills DIBELS/ DIBELS NEXT Texas Primary Reading Inventory Developmental Reading Assessment Classroom Assessments

  9. DIBELS NEXT • Benchmarks are administered BOY, MOY and EOY • Assessments include: Letter Naming Fluency, First Sound Fluency, Phoneme Segmentation Fluency, Non-word Reading Fluency, Oral Reading Fluency, Retell Fluency, DAZE • Progress is monitored weekly for at-risk students

  10. Data-Driven Decision-Making • Data collected weekly and graphed • Team meets every 5-6 weeks to review progress • If student is not at or above the aim line, changes are made to the intervention, intensity, group, tier of instruction, etc.

  11. Interventions Address the Five Key Literacy Skills • Phonemic Awareness • Alphabetic Principle • Decoding and Word Study • Fluency • Comprehension and Vocabulary

  12. Speech and Language Interventions • Tier II Interventions in phonology and phonological awareness, vocabulary and story telling • Pre-Kindergarten Shared Storybook Reading • Kindergarten classrooms phonemic awareness and vocabulary units • Articulation Lab • Small group and whole class interventions

  13. Interventions • Early Elementary: K-3 • Phonological Awareness: Explicit practice in segmenting and blending sounds and syllables • Learning the Code: Sound-Symbol Skills • Metalinguistic Awareness: ing, ed, word parts • Developing Fluency • Story Grammar and comprehension

  14. Interventions Later Elementary: grades 3-5 • Reading—knowledge of derivational morphology and orthographic patterns, fluency, text structures and genres, different purposes for text, strategies for managing styles of reading, strategies for facilitating comprehension, storage and retrieval • Writing—Productivity/fluency (# of words written) , syntactic maturity, vocabulary, spelling/morphology, text organization, conventions

  15. Interventions • Phonological Awareness • Elkonian procedures using concrete surrogates • Neuhaus Reading Readiness • Phonological Awareness Kits • Road to the Code • Florida Center for Reading Research www.fcrr.org

  16. Interventions • Alphabetic Principle • Road to the Code • Road to Reading • Neuhaus Reading Readiness • Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program (LIPS) • Florida Center for Reading Research

  17. Interventions • Decoding and Word Study • Responsive Reading • Wilson FunDations • Wilson Reading Program • SPELL: KennApel www.txsha.org/_pdf/pdf/Apel,%20Ken-Work%20Study-Major%20Spkr.pdf · • REWARDS • Great Leaps

  18. Interventions • Fluency • Repeated Readings: Read Naturally, Quick Reads • Phrasing • Activate Background/Topic Knowledge • Brainstorm Associated Vocabulary • Fluency Shaping Strategies

  19. Interventions • Comprehension and Vocabulary • Narrative Language Interventions • Text Organization Structures • Word Study • Context and Schema Organization • Wh Questions • Main Idea, Inference, Summarizing • CARS and STARS
