The Science of Reading Intervention Program: Tier 2 and 3 Assessment-Based Lessons and Worksheets

The Science of Reading Intervention Program: Assessment-based Instruction provides diagnostically-based instructional resources to differentiate/individualize instruction for students grades 4–adult in 25 minutes per day for 18 weeks. Perfect for early-late elementary schedules, Tier 2 small groups, or Tier 3 intensive pull-out instruction. Ideal for ELL and ESL learners or students in resource programs with IEPs. A great option for middle or high school students, and community college or adult literacy programs with self-paced instructional modules.  No prep, no outside correction. Easy to teach. Written by a teacher (MA reading specialist) for teachers and their students to improve struggling readers' reading as quickly as possible. All program components are digital downloads (no print books).

Only assessment-based instruction affords teachers the opportunity to address the diverse reading deficits of their students with targeted lessons. Make your instructional minutes count! If time is limited, why waste instructional time with lengthy assessments? The diagnostic assessments in this program are different. First, they are quick and easy to administer and grade (formatted in print, audio, and Google forms). Second, each assessment couples with short lessons to target each and every assessment item. And each lesson provides a short formative assessment to determine mastery. You choose which assessments need to be given and to which students.

"I love the assessments. The students were much more willing to try when they understood that they would work on skills they as individuals were missing. The worksheets are detailed enough to really cover the material without overwhelming the students. The program is structured so that I can easily work with a small group or individual as needed to fill instructional gaps." Jules Stras "I am an Instructional Coach and am responsible for running Response to Intervention groups, this is the perfect resource that I have been looking for! Thank you so much for creating it!" Jamie Kidwell "Your reading assessments made me "the hit" at our SHARE faculty meeting! Thank you." Jane Farris "Excellent!
