RtI – Response to Intervention (RTI): What Teachers of Reading Need to Know by Eric M. Mesmer, Heidi Anne E. Mesmer – from IRA’s The Reading Teacher
Clear definitions, details of relevant legislation, and examples of RTI in action help explain this approach to identifying and supporting learners who may be struggling.
Screening Kindergarteners for Future Reading Success
The purpose of this study was to examine the interrelationships and predictiveness of kindergarten early literacy indicators from the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) within the context of a path analysis. The results support the validity of kindergarten DIBELS in predicting ever more complex reading skills in a developmental progression from the middle of kindergarten to second grade.
