Looking for an intervention for your students? The Intervention Tools Chart is designed to be used by educators as a resource to locate interventions, instructional practices, and learning strategies that can be used within an RtI process. Please note: the listing of specific tools is not meant as an endorsement by the NYS RtI MS DP or the NYSED. Rather, it is up to the consumer to research selected tools for evidence of effectiveness. The chart contains three types of tools that are either free or available for purchase: commercial programs, instructional practices, and learning strategies.
Voyager Passport® is a strategic reading intervention designed for K-5 students reading below grade level. This program uses a blended approach—combining teacher led and online instruction.
The program integrates five components of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension) into an instructional routine.
The program provides instruction, corrective feedback, and practice time in a small group setting. Each level of Voyager Passport® consists of 120 lessons that are divided into ten-day units.
The Wilson Reading System® (WRS®) is the flagship program of Wilson Language Training® and the foundation of all other Wilson programs. The WRS® is an intensive Tier 3 program. It is designed for students with word-level deficits not making sufficient progress through their current intervention, have been unable to learn with other teaching strategies and require multisensory language instruction, or who require more intensive structured literacy instruction due to a language-based learning disability, such as dyslexia.
World of Words is a shared book reading program that builds on word knowledge and comprehension skills. The program utilizes fiction and nonfiction book titles to aid children in understanding key concepts and conceptual big ideas, and improving vocabulary.
