Additional small group or individualized instruction that is tailored to children's needs so they can make progress and be on track to meet grade level learning goals.
Response to Intervention (RTI) has been promoted as a valid method for identifying learning disabilities, but questions remain about how it should be used. This study examined how individual student differences predicted response to a reading comprehension intervention using different measures as well as different definitions of “response.”
This presentation by Dr. Nancy J. Nelson, NCIL Deputy Director, provides information on key issues for learning recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Students with intellectual disabilities can obtain higher levels of reading achievement. However, deficits in working memory can make learning early reading skills more difficult. Consider these research-based tips as you plan literacy instruction for these students.
The Literacy For All Series
This Keynote session with Sarah Sayko will describe the resources NCIL can provide to schools and parents and the evidence base that supports screening, instruction, and intervention to increase literacy achievement for students who struggle to read and students with dyslexia.
The Literacy For All Series
This session will share evidence-based reading practices that can be used in response to screening to address students who show risks for reading difficulties or dyslexia.
This Educator’s Toolbox, developed in Partnership with The Reading League Journal, provides a framework for increasing the intensity of reading instruction and intervention for students who are not making desired progress toward their goals.
Interventions Resources
Created by IDEA 2004, the National Instructional Materials Access Center is a federally-funded, searchable online file repository of K-12 print textbooks in the XML-based NIMAS format. State agents may be able to access or request accessible texts for students with print disabilities.
Topic: Interventions
This publication provides research-based guidance that reflects "best practices" for intensifying instruction in reading and mathematics for students with significant learning difficulties in K-12, including students with disabilities. It can also be used as a resource for instructional specialists and special education teachers who are searching for broad guidelines on the design and delivery of intensive interventions.
