Directions for Utilizing Intervention Tool

The Reading Intervention Tool will provide you with strategies and resources to address deficits in the areas of reading.   This instrument also provides a continuum of interventions for each problem or concern in the five components of reading.  

Description of each Tier

                                                                                    Kentucky’s Multi-Tiered System of Supports (KyMTSS)

Tier I (Whole Class)

The foundational or universal level of support. All students receive high-quality, evidence-based instruction aligned to grade-level standards, school wide behavioral expectations and key social-emotional competencies. In sustainable systems, at least 80% of students have their needs met through this universal level of support. Impacts everyone across all settings. Regular, proactive support that emphasizes teaching core learning.

Example Effective Instruction at Tier 1

Tier II (Small Group/Targeted)

Practices and systems that provide targeted support for students who are not successful with Tier 1 supports alone. The targeted or supplemental level of support is intended for some students who require more opportunities for practice and feedback or enrichment beyond Tier 1. In sustainable systems, 10-15% of students access this level of support in addition to the universal level. Tier 2 supports are often provided to groups of students with similar targeted needs. Frequency and duration will increase while group size will decrease.

*Tier 2 is in addition to Tier 1.

Sample Tier II: implementing a strategy to a small group of 5-7  students for 20 minutes 2-3x weekly.

Example Effective Instruction at Tier 2

Tier III (Individualized/Intensive)

The most intensive level of support.Practices and strategies that are more intensive and individualized implemented to improve academic needs of students who have not responded to Tier 1 or Tier 2 strategies. It is intended for students with the most significant and persistent needs extending well beyond the reach of the Tier 1 level. In effective systems, 1-5% of students need access to this level of support. Tier 3 is characterized by increased intensity and individualization of instruction and targeted supports. Frequency and duration will increase while group size will decrease.

*These strategies are in addition to Tier 1 and Tier 2 strategies.

 Sample Tier III: implementing an individualized strategy to a small group of 1-3 students for 30 minutes 3-5x weekly

Student Behavior Data Collection

(Method of Measurement) 

Phonological Awareness

  • difficulty recognizing and/or producing rhymes
  • unable to count, pronounce, blend, and/or segment syllables in words
  • cannot isolate and pronounce initial, medial, and final sounds in three-phoneme words
  • unable to add or substitute individual sounds in one-syllable words to make new words.

Fluency

  • focus on decoding rather than comprehending; no purpose or understanding of the text.
  • unable to use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding.
  • read slowly and with great effort. (lacks accuracy and expression)
  • difficulty reading common high-frequency words by sight
  • skip challenging words and sections of text.
