Mid-Year Reading Intervention Checklist
Reading Intervention Checklist
Fitting together all the puzzle pieces for an effective reading intervention program, grounded in both strands of Scarborough’s reading rope, can be challenging. A simple Reading Intervention Checklist may provide teachers with a well-deserved pat on the back or provoke an instructional adjustment or two.
“Teaching reading is rocket science,” Louisa C. Moats says. Like a rocket, effective Tier 2 and 3 reading intervention for older students has plenty of moving parts. If parts are left out of the design, Tom Hank’s “Houston, we have a problem” is more than likely the consequence.
The following Reading Intervention Checklist serves as a diagnostic tool to answer, “What instructional components should be included in a research-based reading intervention program for older students?” The checklist is comprised of program sample links to The Science of Reading Intervention Program resources. Samples include both Google slides for teachers and students and print versions.
The Science of Reading Intervention Program has been specifically designed for grades 4-adult students in Tier 2 and 3 reading intervention; ELL, SPED, and adult literacy. The flexible, scripted (no prep), and accelerated program resources focus on both stands of Scarborough’s Reading Rope: word recognition and language comprehension.
