Small Group Manual 2019-2020

Tier II Interventions and Supports for ELA

The items outlined in the tables below are meant to assist Building Leadership Teams and grade level teams in defining and implementing MTSS for Tier II English Language Arts interventions and supports. Screeners, such as Acadience Reading, and diagnostics such as CORE Phonics Survey and Reading Street RtI PA survey, aid teachers in identifying skill gaps. Resources are then identified and allocated to target supplemental instruction for ALL students. The table below identifies resources and supports, as well as, recommended time allocation to maximize growth in the identified targeted gap. Not all interventions would be used simultaneously but rather would be selected to match the needed intensity. Group 1 recommendations: Students in this group are making expected gains from core and need instruction in the targeted skill of comprehension and vocabulary. They perform at benchmark levels in both rate and accuracy on Acadience Reading, or are proficient on RI. Support this group of students with new skills gained in core and with additional instruction in close reading and vocabulary. These students will need text that is motivating, expands vocabulary, worthy of discussion and supports close reading and writing tasks.
