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.
PhonicsQ is visual system of picture cues in three different formats. It is designed to help students link the phonemes of oral language and the graphemes of written language to decode, encode and pronounce new words. This system provides a single picture as a cueing device for a particular sound (i.e. oo, ow). The PhonicsQ system can be used to supplement/support any reading programs and approaches.
Phrase Drill Procedure allows students to practice misread words in order to increase their reading fluency.
In predicting, readers make thoughtful guesses, based on experience and available information. These guesses are either confirmed or revised on the basis of what is read. Students bring their personal experiences, prior knowledge, and world view to the text as they make and revise predictions that will enrich their comprehension.
Read Naturally® is designed to improve reading fluency using a combination of books, audiotapes, and computer software. The program has three main strategies: repeated reading of text for developing oral reading fluency, teacher modeling of story reading, and systematic monitoring of student progress by the students themselves and by teachers. Students work at a reading level appropriate for their achievement level and progress through the program independently.
Reading While Listening involves practicing reading while listening to a proficient reader (or an audio recording) of a fluent reading of the text and pointing at the words.
Reciprocal teaching is an interactive instructional practice. This practice can be used to improve comprehension; teachers and students take turns leading a dialogue around sections of a text and apply four comprehension strategies (generating questions, summarizing, clarifying, predicting) to obtain meaning from a text.
Repeated reading is a strategic approach designed to increase reading fluency and comprehension. During repeated reading, students read and re-read a selected short passage until they reach a satisfactory level of fluency.
In retelling, students will retell the events in a passage they have either read or heard.
