Reading rate is limited because the proportion of words in grade level p p g passages that children can read “by sight” is less than for average readers. g g Ho do o close the gap hen the How do you close the gap when the student is already 3- 5 years behind?

Effective Early Interventions
- Reading Recovery: Schwartz’s (2005) RCT
concludes that 5% of RR graduates don’t g read on grade level.
- Peer Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS):
Peer Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS): Studies show that 5-6% of 1st graders read above 30th %ile above 30 %ile.
- Mathes et al. (RRQ; 2005)
Peer Assisted Learning Strategies
- As a supplement to core reading, PALS has helped K-6
graders improve their phonological awareness phonics graders improve their phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension (e.g., Fuchs et al., 1997; Mathes et al., 1994;
Mathes et al., 1998; Simmons et al., 1994).
- Teachers pair their students, creating dyads with one high and one
low performing reader and then train students to follow standard low performing reader, and then train students to follow standard PALS procedures.
Increases students’ practice time and opportunities to p pp respond. Offers structured and reciprocal practice on phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension

Are Volunteer Tutors Effective?

several large meta-analyses is .40 (Cohen et g y ( al., 1982; Elbaum et al., 2000).
- Average effect size for volunteers was 26;
Average effect size for volunteers was .26; however, in studies describing tutors’ training effect size was 59 (Elbaum et al ) training, effect size was .59 (Elbaum et al.)

Who is LD, What is RtI?
- The student who does not respond to quality
instruction
- Discrepancy relative to the expectation that
ALL children can learn
- Requires closer integration of general
education and special education
- One system, not two -- all students are
general education students first!
IDEA 2004
- NCLB and IDEA share the goal of a single well
- NCLB and IDEA share the goal of a single, well-
integrated system that connects general, remedial, and special education and considers the learning needs of p g all children.
- According to IDEIA, response to intervention (RTI)
g , p ( ) means that a local education agency “may use a process that determines if the child responds to i ifi h b d i i f h scientific, research-based intervention as a part of the evaluation procedures” (Pub. L. No. 108-446 § 614 [b][6][A]; § 614 [b] [2 & 3]) [b][6][A]; § 614 [b] [2 & 3]).
RtI as a Diagnostic System vs. Multi- Tiered Instructional Model Tiered Instructional Model
- It is useful to keep RtI as a diagnostic
system conceptually distinct from RtI as a y p y multi-tiered instructional model because the former is new and has challenging g g measurement implications, whereas the latter has been in existence in public health p and in school reform models.
What is RtI?
RTI i h i f (1) idi RTI is the practice of (1) providing high-quality instruction/intervention h d d d d ( ) i matched to student needs and (2) using learning rate over time and level of performance to (3) make important educational decisions to guide instruction.

Three Tier Model
- Critical question for special education and
general education is not “What is the label?” or “For what is the child eligible, but what type of
intervention results in change?
Special Education becomes an alternative for students who don’t f respond to quality instruction and need the power/flexibility of IDEA need the power/flexibility of IDEA
Implementing 3 tier models
- Enhanced core reading instruction is the key
- Primary model: begins in the classroom with
y g professional development, assessment, and better materials; alternatives like PALS underutilized
- Screening, diagnostic assessments, and progress
monitoring must be in place
- Goal is differentiated instruction and monitoring

Implementing 3 Tier models
- Second tier is typically small group pull out
Second tier is typically small group pull out instruction, but can represent additional dose in the classroom
- Small-group intervention is just as effective as 1:1
intervention (Elbaum et al., 2000) I di t t i th f ff ti
- In reading, content is the same as for effective
classroom intervention: explicit instruction in the alphabetic principle, reading for meaning and p p p , g g
- pportunities to learn (Foorman & Torgesen,
2001)
Implementing 3 Tier models
- Third tier is typically special education, but can
represent more intense tutoring in general education
- Content significantly different from first 2 levels
- Response to Instruction (RtI) should be part of the
criteria for determining eligibility for special d ti education
- Should be measured, not surmised
- Progress monitoring essential

students who start behind stay behind students who start behind, stay behind.

Early Learning is Crucial
- Narrowing the achievement gap before
kindergarten is a powerful, proactive, and doable task.
- Build oral language and literacy
development into pre-K classes
- Have parents read to their children 20 min.
a day to expose them to rare vocabulary, complex syntax, and rich discussion.
