Data-Based Literacy Interventions

Assessment Description

Reading/Literacy specialists must be keenly aware of the data available to them, as well as best practices when using that data to inform instruction and enact literacy growth in schools. It is also important to use relevant data when determining intervention needs and strategies for struggling students.

Using your current “first grade” literacy data, outline two specific intervention plans for students in your classroom. The first intervention plan on (Two-Letter Consonant Blends) will be for one student who requires intensive intervention. The second intervention plan on (Sight Words) will be for a small group requiring intervention in similar literacy skills. Include the following in 250 words for each intervention plan:

· Brief description of the individual and small group of students.

· The decision-making process you used, including data analysis for the individual student and small group of students, and how data determined intervention strategies.

· Concepts or skills to be addressed in the interventions based on the literacy data.

· Specific literacy activities/strategies to be implemented during interventions.

· How often you will conduct interventions for each. Provide a suggested timeline.

· How progress will be assessed and monitored.

Support your plans with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
