RTI

"Whenever we design an intervention for struggling readers, the single-most critical factor that will determine the success of the effort is matching struggling readers with texts they can actually read with a high level of accuracy, fluency, and comprehension."

"Too often we have designed reading intervention programs where the students engage in everything but actual reading. That is one reason intervention seldom accelerates reading growth."

"Too often we notice the difficulties that struggling readers have when reading too-hard texts and assume it is their lack of good decoding abilities that is their primary problem."

-Richard Allington, "What Really Matters in Response to Intervention"
