Reading Interventions
Phonics and Decoding
For students struggling with basic reading, systematic phonics instruction addresses foundational skills. Programs like Wilson Reading and Orton-Gillingham have strong evidence.
Fluency
Repeated reading, paired reading, and fluency-building programs help students read more automatically.
Comprehension
Strategy instruction teaches students to monitor understanding, make predictions, and summarize.
Intervention Planning
Plan, track, and measure the effectiveness of student interventions across all tiers.
Math Interventions
Number Sense
For foundational gaps, interventions building number sense and basic operations provide essential skills.
Problem Solving
Schema-based instruction and explicit strategy teaching help students approach word problems systematically.
Intervention Delivery
- • Small groups (3-5 students) for Tier 2
- • One-on-one for Tier 3
- • 20-45 minutes, 3-5 times per week
- • Trained interventionists
