Tier 2 Instruction: Claire is currently receiving Tier 2 instruction three days a week, for 20 minutes per day, over eight weeks. Her reading group consists of seven students with a focus on vocabulary and informational comprehension. Claire’s Tier 2 literacy intervention goal is: When given a fifth-grade informational passage and vocabulary assessment, the student will use context clues and other strategies, such as consulting a dictionary, to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words with 80% accuracy. Claire’s teacher has been utilizing the "Words in Context, Looking for Meaning" graphic organizer as her Tier 2 intervention. Claire’s teacher has assessed this literacy goal weekly, and Claire’s progress is shown in “Claire’s Progress Monitoring Chart.”

Anecdotal Notes: Claire is a sweet girl who participates in whole group class discussions and small group activities. She states her favorite subject is science. She loves to do science experiments; however, she has trouble comprehending the science text and other handouts, because of the content vocabulary. Whenever asked to discuss content related to text, she struggles with word meaning and comprehension. Last week I noticed that just as I asked students to take out their science text, Claire began to disrupt her peers with off-topic conversations. She took a long time to begin and had difficulty staying on task. Her family has expressed concerns about her comprehension level as she moves into middle school next year.

Assessment Description

Family involvement is crucial to closing the achievement gap in literacy. However, some families may not know the resources that exist in their community or how to use them to help their struggling readers. It is important for teachers to not only support students but also their families during the literacy intervention and remediation process.

Part 1: Mock Parent Meeting Video

Revisit the data and information provided in the “ELM-526 Intervention Case Study” from Topic 5. Imagine you are conducting a meeting with Claire’s family to discuss the initial data and rationale for implementing a more intense intervention plan. Create a 3-5 minute video in GoReact discussing Claire’s data, classroom support, and ways the family can support her. In the video include the following information:

· A summary of Claire’s data from the “ELM-526 Intervention Case Study,” include a glow (praise/area of strength) and a grow (area for growth) to share with the family.

· Briefly explain Claire’s literacy goals and the intervention strategies determined in the Topic 5 assignment and how the strategies support her literacy skills and promote human flourishing.

· Describe one way the family can integrate literacy and real-world connections into their daily lives to support Claire and explain why it is important for the family to do this.

· Provide at least two engaging activities that the family can complete with Claire that reinforce intervention instruction being implemented at school.

· Discuss one way the family can use technology to support Claire in continuing to reach her literacy goals.

· Provide the family with at least two community resources and explain how the resources can be used by the family to support Claire in reaching her literacy goals.

· Explain 1-2 ways you and the family can celebrate Claire’s successes.

· Provide the family with your expectations on follow-up communication about Claire’s progress.
