The Drill Down Process is a vital methodology employed to address gaps in students' reading development. This approach is especially crucial for identifying children who are not meeting grade-level benchmarks or show signs of reading difficulties. By utilizing screening and diagnostic assessments, educators can determine specific areas of need, such as dysorthographic and dysphonetic challenges. This paper, contributed by Ann Van Brocklin, Reading Specialist for District 241, outlines when and why to implement this process, focusing on creating effective intervention strategies to support at-risk students.
