RTI MODEL

Page 5: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

RTI RTI is not a program, it’s a

philosophy/tool/framework RTI stands for Response To Intervention

(sometimes Response to Instruction) In the past, we’ve had a “wait to fail” model.

RTI is Preventative Model

Page 6: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

RTI CORE PRINCIPLES Use all available resources to teach all

students – minimize silos Universal screening for prevention instead of

waiting for intervention Multi-tier model of service delivery Explicit & systematic instruction Data based decisions using a problem solving

or standard protocol approach Monitor student progress frequently Multiple assessment measures Monitoring implementation fidelity

RTI In an RTI/Intervention model, students do not

stay in intervention groups forever. Every 4-6 weeks, use assessment to re-group.

RTI is not for everyone, it’s for the kids who need it.

The nature of the intervention changes at each tier, becoming more rigorous as the student moves through the tiers

Students move up and down the tiers depending on need

Page 12: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

WHY WE’RE REALLY DOING THIS

Students speak to us through their data. It is up to us to hear what they are telling us and do something about it!

Page 15: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

WHAT DO THE SCORES MEAN? Reading fluently with comprehension is the

ultimate goal. DIBELS uses early skills (LNF, PSF, NWF, ORF)

to predict how likely it is a child will be a strong reader later.

Students must achieve or exceed goals on time to be on track for successful reading.

Page 16: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

WHAT DO THE SCORES MEAN? When you see a DIBELS report, you will see a

raw score for each student as well as:

A child’s score will determine if they are Intensive, Strategic, or Benchmark.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURACY Accuracy is a piece/ one aspect used to

determine instructional decisions. Why do we look at accuracy? Research and

examples DIBELS ORF scores at the end of second grade.

(Benchmark is 90 wcpm.) Billy reads 85 wcpm with no errors. Sally reads 112 wcpm with 8 errors. Which student is more likely to have strong

comprehension? Which student is more likely to have decoding issues?

WHAT DO SCREENING DATA TELL US? WCPM and accuracy scores below benchmark

screening data indicate that a student may not be reading well enough to have strong comprehension.

Screening data answer the question: Is the student reading with appropriate rate and accuracy to indicate adequate comprehension?

The ‘Pile Protocol’ allows us to determine which students need further diagnostic assessment

Page 21: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

PILE PROTOCOL Using DIBELS ORF scores and accuracy, you

can make piles of student books based on the following criteria:

FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT Students who meet both WCPM and accuracy

percentage benchmarks on the Oral Reading Fluency screening assessment (Strong Readers): Do not need diagnostic assessment Do not need intervention

Students who do not meet BOTH WCPM and accuracy percentage benchmarks (Moderate Decoding Issues and Significant/Severe Decoding Issues) should receive diagnostic assessment to pinpoint area(s) of weaknesses. Areas of weakness will guide instructional planning

and instruction.

Page 25: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

DECODING IS ESSENTIAL FOR READING COMPREHENSION AT ALL AGES Assess decoding abilities first

If students cannot decode well and easily, reading fluency and comprehension will be hindered even if the students have strong vocabularies and comprehension

Page 26: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

WHAT DO YOUR STUDENTS DO WHEN THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO DECODE? Skip words Add words Misread vowels (bench for bunch) Guess based on context (mom for mother) Misread multi-syllabic words Misread or skip articles (in, of, the, to, etc.)

These errors will lead to comprehension mistakes…not always, but sometimes.

Page 27: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

WHY STUDENTS IN HIGHER GRADES HAVE DECODING PROBLEMS Problems often don’t show up until higher

grades because students guessed successfully in the early grades when words are easy to guess.

Older students experience less and less success with guessing as text becomes more difficult.

STUDENTS NEED TO READ WORDS IN ISOLATION IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY DECODING WEAKNESSES Reading carefully selected real and nonsense

words in isolation is an efficient diagnostic assessment.

Examine error patterns to determine the specific confusions and the depth of the weaknesses.

Words and Sentences to Read

Recording Form

Administering and Scoring The Beginning Decoding Survey(Summary directions are available in your DDS)

Administering the Survey:1. Ask the student to read the words and sentences

on the Student Page.2. Use the Recording Form to record student’s

responses:• Put a check by words the student reads

correctly.• Write exactly what the student says when

reading a word incorrectly.

Scoring the Survey:3. Total the number of words read correctly.4. Complete the Error Grid by marking all columns

that describe the student’s error when reading a word. You can complete the grid after the student reads the words and sentences.

5. Total the marks in each error column.

Page 36: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

Error Types - Error types are listed at the top and bottom of the

columns on the Error Grid

•No Try: Mark only when a student does not attempt to read a word.

•Sight Word: Mark when a student misreads a sight word.

•Sound Added or Omitted: Mark when a student attempts to read a word, but adds or omits a sound. This is a ‘guesser’ column because students only add or omit sounds when they are guessing.

•Initial Consonant: Mark when a student misreads or omits the initial consonant.

•Final Consonant: Mark when a student misreads or omits the final consonant. This is a ‘guesser’ column because students who are confused by the vowel often guess at the final consonant sounds.

•Short Vowel: Mark when a student misreads a short vowel.

•Consonant Digraph & qu: Mark when a student misreads or omits a digraph or qu.

•Blend: Mark when a student misreads or omits reading any part of a blend.

Page 37: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

DIGRAPHS AND BLENDS REMINDERS Digraphs are two letters that spell one sound.

Common consonant digraphs on the Surveys: sh – sh e ch – ch ap wh – wh ip th – th en OR th umb ck – ba ck

Blends are two consonant letters together, each with its own sound. A few blends on the Surveys are:

st – mu s t, s t op tr – t r ap nd – ba n d br – b r at

Page 38: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING RULES – SINGLE HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS

•Check (√) words read correctly.

•Write NT (for no try) if the student does not attempt the word.• Put ‘x’s in both the “No Try” and the “Sight Word” boxes on the

grid.

•If student misreads a word, write the response.• Put an ‘x’ in the “Sight Word” box on the grid, and do not put

‘x’s in any other boxes.• If the student responds twice, write both responses and put one

‘x’ in the “Sight Word” box on the grid.

•Write ‘SC’ if the student self-corrects.• Self-corrections count as errors.• Put an ‘x’ in the “Sight Word” box on the grid.

Page 39: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING RULES – SINGLE DECODABLE WORDS

•Check (√) words read correctly.

•If students misread words, write all responses.• If the student responds twice, write both responses.• Put ‘x’s in Error Grid boxes for all errors in both words.

•Write NT (for no try) if the students does not attempt the word.• Put an ‘x’ in the “No Try” box on the Error Grid. (No ‘x’ is in the Sound

Added/Omitted box because that column is for Sounds Added/Omitted within a word.)

• Put ‘x’s in all applicable boxes on the Error Grid. (These boxes have ‘x’s because the student did not read any part of the word.

•Write SC if the student self-corrects.• Self-corrections count as errors when totaling number of Words Read Correctly.• Mark all errors in the misread words, even if the student self-corrects.

Page 40: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING RULES – PROMPT ONCE IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO SAY THE WORD #1

•When a student does not attempt to read a word, prompt the student once to try to read the word.• If the student attempts to read the word, do not mark a NT and

score as if that is the student’s first response.• If the student does not attempt to read “quit”, ask the

student to try. If the student reads “quite”, write quite and mark the errors for quite.

Page 41: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING RULES – PROMPT ONCE IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO SAY THE WORD #2

•When a student does not attempt to read a word, prompt the student once to try to read the word.• If the student still doesn’t read the word, mark NT and

score as a no try.• If the student does not attempt to read ‘dust’, ask the

student to try. If the student still makes no attempt, mark NT and core the errors for a No Try.

Page 42: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING RULES – PROMPT ONCE IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO SAY THE WORD #2

•When a student does not attempt to read a word, prompt the student once to try to read the word.• If the student reads the word correctly after the prompt,

mark the work as read correctly.• If the student does not attempt to read ‘step’, ask the

student to try. If the student reads the word correctly, place a check next to the word and count it as correct.

Page 43: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING RULES – SENTENCES (DECODABLE WORDS)

•Put a check (√) above words read correctly.

•If the student misreads the word, put a slash through the word and write what the student says above the word.

•If the student omits the word, put a slash through the word• Put an ‘x’ in the No Try box on the Error Grid. (no X goes in the

Sounds Added/Omitted box because that column is for sounds added and/or omitted within a word.)

• Put ‘x’s in all applicable boxes on the Error Grid. (These boxes have ‘x’s because the student did not read any part of the word.)

Page 44: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING RULES – SENTENCES (SIGHT WORDS)

NOTE –Sight Words are in italics on the Recording Form.

•If the student misreads a Sight Word in italics, put a slash through the word and write what the student says.• Mark an ‘x’ in the Sight Word box on the Error Grid.

•If the student omits a Sight Word, put a slash through the word.• Put ‘x’s in both the No Try and the Sight Word boxes on the

Error Grid.

x

Page 45: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

OTHER SCORING RULES• Gray boxes (NA) on the grid are not applicable for scoring.• If a student reads the word correctly, then reads it incorrectly,

put a check (√) by the word, then write what the student says when he/she misreads.

• Mark errors in all words a student reads incorrectly.• One error can cause more than one box on the grid to be

marked.• brag read as rag warrants ‘x’s in 3 boxes: Sounds

Added/Omitted, Initial Consonants, & Blends.• Digraphs do not count as Initial or Final Consonants

• A missed digraph is marked in the digraph column.• When totaling the number correct, each word missed counts as

one error –regardless of the number of times the student attempted the word.

• If students blend a word correctly, count it as one error for Words Read Correctly, but do not mark errors across the page.

Page 46: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

OBSERVATIONS

•Certain characteristics that might be observed as the student reads are listed in the Observation section in the upper right hand corner of the Error Grid.

•Check a box if you observe any of the characteristics.• For b/d or b/p errors, put a check every time you notice the error,

which may indicate the severity of the issue.

Page 47: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

YOUR TURN Practice scoring Beginning Decoding Survey

with presenter.

With a partner, administer and score the Beginning Decoding Survey. Remember to make mistakes, so your partner

can score. Each person should have a chance to be the

scorer.

Donald’s BeginningDecoding SurveyHandout #1

What are Donald’s strengths & weaknesses?

Page 49: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT DONALD? Strengths

He reads beginning and ending consonants, blends, and digraphs well.

He reads real words quite accurately. (Missed one vowel: read reach for rich.)

Weaknesses Short vowels are his most basic difficulty. He guesses when he reads even very simple

sentences. His lack of ability to read nonsense words tells us

he does not understand basic letter-sound correspondences, especially with vowels.

Page 50: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

LOOKING AT READING DIFFICULTIES

Look at the presenter’s Beginning Decoding Survey. What is your presenter’s reading difficulties?

Look at your partner’s Beginning Decoding Survey. What is your partner’s reading difficulties?

Page 51: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

APPROPRIATE AGES FOR THE BEGINNING DECODING SURVEY Beginning Decoding Surveys are appropriate

from the middle of first grade on.

For all students, ALWAYS start with the Beginning Decoding Survey. Short vowels are a problem for many students of

all ages who do not read proficiently. The Beginning Decoding Survey will identify

almost all short vowel difficulties.

•“Trigraphs” added to Digraphs column.

•Multi-Syllable Words added: Real & Nonsense.

Page 54: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

TRIGRAPHS AND 3-SOUND BLENDS REMINDERS Trigraphs are three letters that spell one

sound. Two consonant trigraphs on the Surveys:

tch – m a tch dge – r i dge

3-sound blends are three consonant letters together, each with its own sound. The only 3-sound blend on the Survey:

str – s t r eet

Page 55: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SCORING THE ADVANCED DECODING SURVEY Single Syllable Words

Mark just like the beginning decoding Survey.

Multi-Syllable Words Do not analyze errors. Mark an ‘x’ in the box if the student did not read

the word correctly.

Page 56: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

Advanced Decoding Survey30 Harder Words

•8 nonsense words with short vowels

•12 nonsense words with advanced vowels• 4 nonsense words with long vowels

• 5 nonsense words with other vowels

• 3 nonsense words with r-controlled vowels

•10 multi-syllable words• 5 nonsense multi-syllable words

• 5 real multi-syllable words

Page 57: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

WHEN TO USE THE ADVANCED DECODING SURVEY Administer the Advanced decoding Survey

beginning in the middle of second grade.

Always give every student the Beginning Decoding Survey before giving the Advanced Decoding Survey

Looking at scores from both the Beginning and Advanced Decoding Survey will allow you to group students with similar needs for decoding instruction.

Page 58: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

Multi-Syllable Words

No error analysis for multi-syllable words.

Put an ‘x’ in the box if the word is read incorrectly or no attempt is made to read the word.

ADVANCED DECODING SURVEYS

Students with scores lower than benchmark are likely to need intervention to become strong decoders

USING SCREENING AND DIAGNOSTIC DATA TO GROUP STUDENTS

Page 62: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

BEN – CAN YOU PLAN INSTRUCTION BASED ON BEN’S SCORES? Without having access to Ben’s specific

errors, work with a partner to identify Ben’s decoding weaknesses and determine what Ben’s intervention instruction will include.

Page 63: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

SLOW READERS DON’T ALWAYS NEED FLUENCY INSTRUCTION Slow readers can be accurate or inaccurate.

Slow, inaccurate readers almost always have difficulty with decoding.

Slow, but accurate, reading may be caused by: Taking time to figure out the word based on

context because decoding skills are weak. Lack of vocabulary, which means the student has

to sound out many words. Slow processing.

Page 64: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

STUDENTS ASSESSED WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC DECODING SURVEYS FALL INTO 6 INSTRUCTIONAL CATEGORIES1. Need help improving rate – read and decode

accurately2. Need mild decoding help

groups of 12 maximum3. Need moderate decoding help

groups of 8 maximum4. Need significant decoding help

groups of 6 maximum5. Have severe reading difficulties

groups of 1-3 maximum6. Scores extremely low, need further

diagnostic testing

Page 65: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

HOW TO GROUP STUDENTS AND DETERMINE INSTRUCTIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS? Look at similarities in decoding difficulties to

form groups and develop instructional recommendations

Form groups based on needs of students and staff resources

Page 66: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

FORMING GROUPS: A SCENARIO Mythical School’s 2nd grade team wants to start

an intervention group. They have 2 classroom teachers ready to start. Ms. Sally’s class has 8 students who need short vowel decoding work (based on the DDS). Mr. Jones’ class has 7 students who need help with CVC and sight words. They decide to spend 25 minutes before lunch every day “walking to intervention”. Mr. Jones takes the 15 students who need decoding help and forms a small group. Ms. Sally takes her remaining students and Mr. Jones’ students and works on deeper comprehension and vocabulary skills using the Reading Street lessons she never gets to.

Page 67: D IAGNOSING R EADING P ROBLEMS : W HAT DO YOUR STUDENTS NEED ?

FORMING GROUPS: A SCENARIO Storybook School’s 5th grade team consists of one

classroom teacher, Ms. Blue. Ms. Blue’s class has 5 students who need advanced vowel decoding work (based on the DDS), 5 students who need work on multisyllabic words and the rest of her students are at benchmark. Ms. Blue asks one of her student’s grandma (who is a retired school bus driver) to come into class for 20 minutes every day. Grandma Green has the remaining 18 students read Advanced Leveled Reader books and discuss them using the Making Meaning format. During this time Ms. Blue pulls the 10 students to the back of the room and works on multisyllabic decoding, with an emphasis on the vowels in the multisyllabic words.

GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING Gather with your grade level team from your

building. Discuss the following:

What human-resources are available at your building to provide interventions? (Think of all of them: parents, volunteers, high school older brothers, grandparents, community members, lunch ladies, office staff with a “free” 20 minutes a day)

What small bits of time do you have as a team if you wanted to “walk to intervention”? What small bits of time do you have if you need to do intervention on your own?

What are some possible scenarios you can develop for your team?

What needs to happen next at _________ in order for you to implement an RTI model that includes systematic Tier 2 instruction?

A FINAL THOUGHT…“You can have the results you say you want, or

you can have the reasons why you can’t have them. But you can’t have both.

Reasons or results. You get to choose.”

EXIT SLIP Please Reflect on the learning targets for

tonight: I say what RTI means. I can use the pile protocol to find students that

need extra instruction. I can administer and score the DDS diagnostic

screener I know what to do with the DDS diagnostic

screener after I have my student’s scores. I know what my next steps are for administering

an intervention model in my classroom or building.
