RTII

Response to Instruction & Intervention

What is RTII?

•Response to Intervention and Instruction or (RTII) is a highly effective approach to help identify students at risk and work with all students to ensure their educational success.

i•RTII is designed to specifically target students for whom the regular reading curriculum reading series is not enough by adding supplemental instruction.

• RTII provides systematic data collection for all students.

Why Are We Doing RTII?

•Our mission is to provide an appropriate intervention for all students.

Benefits•RTII will reduce the time a

student waits before he receives additional instructional assistance.

•RTII can help ensure that students receive appropriate reading instruction.

Data Collection•DIBELS Next testing 3 times a year.

•Progress monitoring of Tier II & III students monthly. (Regrouping may occur).

•Star Testing each marking period.

•Benchmark Activities

Tier II(Data determines need for supplemental small group

instruction)• Early Reading Intervention (ERI)• Approaching Leveled Readers• Read Naturally• Triumphs• Soar to Success

After Tier III intervention, if the

student shows limited or no progress, he/she is

referred to a Child Study Team (CST).
