Week 4 assignment


RTI is used to help students that are struggling readers. It was initially established for students with learning disabilities however was changed to measure a students academic performance improves with intervention services. The structure of intervention are the following: Tier 1 is comprised of students with traditional instruction. 80-85 percent do not receive intervention. The remaining students may need intervention services. Tier 2, unlike Tier 1 10-15 percent students require some intervention services. In this stage a small group of students receive  services in a class setting. Tier 3 is the smallest group. This group receives intervention services that is intensified and focused. The students would receive the services in a regular class however in some instances students are pulled out from the regular classroom to receive the intervention services.

How can RTI improve the academic performance of a special needs student?

Reading Rockets Video

The reading rockets video provided insight into how well young minds can learn and absorb knowledge. Incorporating a reading routine can help young children build their vocabulary which can help them be more knowledgeable when they enter school. In addition, reading to young children encourages them to develop positive reading habits which makes them more familiar with reading. I think the video provided great information on the significant role that parents play in aiding children to develop reading and vocabulary. I also learned making children more familiar with the words and letters around them increases print awareness.
