  2. Preventing Reading Difficulties: A Three-Tiered Intervention Model TIER I TIER II TIER III Torgesen & Greenberg, 2004

  3. TIER I Main component • A core reading program that supports the critical elements in reading instruction. TIER I Torgesen & Greenberg, 2004

  4. TIER II Main Component: •Small-group supplemental instruction provided in addition to the core reading instruction. TIER II Torgesen & Greenberg, 2004

  5. TIER III Main Component: •Intensive, strategic, supplemental instruction specifically designed and customized for small-group or 1:1 reading instruction that is extended beyond the time allocated for TIER I and TIER II. TIER III Torgesen & Greenberg, 2004

  6. Four Types of Learners Type D Type C Type B Type A SPED “At Risk” On Level--CORE Above Level Need Intensive Need Explicit Can Intuit Many Rules Reading Instruction Instruction TIER II TIER III TIER I 5-10% 25-30% 60-65% 5% Percentages in each group vary—in some schools as many as 20 % are in SPED and 60-70% would benefit from explicit instruction. Marion Sanders, (2002)

  7. Lexia Reading Product Placement Recommendation by Tier Group *Levels 4 and 5 ER-Early Reading PR- Primary Reading SOS- Strategies for Older Students

  8. TIER I (Advanced): Lexia as EnhancementExample for Grade 1 • Tier I (advanced) students will benefit from the extra phonics practice Lexia provides. • Students will continue to move forward at own pace. • Recommended Use: 2 times per week for 20 minutes • Add It reinforces the reading and spelling of common suffixes. Primary Reading, Level 5, Add It, Unit 5

  9. Group It II develops conceptual reasoning skills. Another example Primary Reading, Level 5, Group It II, Unit 1

  10. Elevator provides practice in constructing and reading two-syllable words in isolation, in sentences, and in stories. This activity also supports comprehension. Another example Primary Reading, Level 5, Elevator, Unit 11

  11. TIER I (On level): Lexia as ReinforcementExample for Grade 1 • Tier I (on level) students will benefit from the extra phonics practice Lexia provides. • Students will continue to move forward at own pace and possibly move into advanced group. • Recommended Use: 2 times per week for 20 minutes. • Short Vowel Bridge works on medial vowel discrimination and sound/symbol correspondence. Primary Reading, Level 2, Short Vowel Bridge, Unit 9

  12. Picture-Word Match reinforces reading comprehension skills. Another example Primary Reading, Level 2, Picture-Word Match, Unit 9

  13. TIER II: Lexia as SupplementalExample for Grade 1 • Lexia provides supplemental support. • It addresses the reading skills of students who are not making adequate progress. • Students will need more exposure to the program. • Recommended Use: 3-4 times per week for 20 minutes • Sounds to Letters reinforces phonemic awareness skills. Primary Reading, Level 1, Sounds to Letters, Unit 27

  14. Sight Word Search develops automatic recognition of pre-primer high-frequency irregular words in isolation, in phrases, and in sentences. This activity also supports comprehension. Another example Primary Reading, Level 1, Sight Word Search, Unit 12

  15. TIER III: Lexia as IntensiveExample for Grade 1 • Lexia use can provide the intensive support for Tier III students. The program individualizes the practice by repeating activities that the student is struggling with until mastery is achieved. • Tier III students will need extended exposure. • Recommended Use: Daily for 20-30 minutes • Sound Match increases awareness of beginning and ending sounds. Early Reading, Level 1, Sound Match, Unit 1
