|
| Math Interventions | |
|
|
Incremental Rehearsal . The strategy provides the student with a virtually error-free to review math facts and other items that can be presented via flashcards. |
|
|
Self-Administered Arithmetic Combination Drills With Performance Self-Monitoring & Incentives. This self-administered intervention encourages the student to increase computation fluency. |
|
|
Cover-Copy-Compare. The student self-administersintervention to promote acquisition of math facts, spelling words, etc. |
|
|
Problem-Interspersal Technique. The student is given a math computation worksheet that has difficult and easy problems intermixed. |
|
|
|
| Writing Interventions | |
|
|
Sentence Combining . The student is given pairs of clauses and follows simple to combine them to create more advanced sentences. |
|
|
|
| Reading Interventions | |
|
|
Letter Cube Blending Lesson. The Letter Cube Blending intervention targets alphabetic (phonics) skills. |
|
|
Paired Reading. The student has the choice to read aloud in tandem with a tutor or to read independently while the tutor follows along. |
|
|
Reading Comprehension Fix-Up Skills. This handout contains sample ideas that a middle or high school teacher could use to promote reading comprehension among students. |
|
|
Click or Clunk. This intervention teaches the student to monitor understanding of reading at the sentence, paragraph, and page level. |
|
|
Phrase-Cued Text Lessons. Phrase-cued texts train students to recognize the natural pauses that occur between phrases in their reading and to enhance comprehension of the text. |
|
|
HELPS Reading Program. HELPS (Helping Early Literacy with Practice Strategies) is a free program that targets student reading fluency skills. HELPS was developed by Dr. John Begeny of North Carolina State University. The program is an evidence-based intervention package that includes the following effective treatment components: adult modeling of fluent reading, repeated reading of passages by the student, phrase-drill error correction, verbal cueing and retell check to encourage student reading comprehension, and reward procedures to engage and encourage the student reader. HELPS can be used as an RTI intervention for reading fluency at Tiers 1 through 3. |
