I’ve Given the Phonics Screener, Now What?

LET’S CATCH THE STUDENTS THAT ARE FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS!

Eight Core Principles of RTII. We can effectively teach all children.II. Intervene early.III. Use a multi-tier model of service delivery.IV. Use a problem-solving model to make decisions within a multi-

tier model.V. Use scientific, research-based validated intervention and

instruction to the extent available. VI. Monitor student progress to inform instruction.VII. Use data to make decisions. A data-based decision regarding

student response to intervention is central to RTI practices.VIII. Use assessment for screening, diagnostics, and progress

monitoring. Batsche, G. et al., in Response to Internventin: Policy Considerations and Implementation, p. 19-

Tiers of Intervention Instruction• Take out your book, “Implementing Response to

Intervention.”• Number off 1-3

1 – Read pages 65-66 (Tier I)2 – Read pages 66-68 (Tier II)3 – Read pages 68-69 (Tier III)

• Get together with all of the people who read the same Tier to talk about what that Tier should be composed of.

• Get back together with your group and see if there is anything you’d like to change on your triangle.

Using DIBELS to Diagnose

1) Place DIBELS measures in order from lowest to highest skill.

2) Begin by looking at the lowest skill. Is the student fast and right?

3) If yes – go on to the next skill.If no – use a phonics/phonological awareness screener to pinpoint the exact skill deficit.
