These students receive 4 different phonics interventions from different teachers every day and still make little to no progress. The teacher is beginning to think that there may be too many interventions being but in place. Any suggestions on how to move students toward becoming more successful readers? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I see the dilemma. Sometimes the individual interventions can cause confusion for the students. Furthermore, the interventions can sometimes be contradictory of each other. Depending on the tier in which the student is placed, I would reduce the interventions, and I would ensure that the interventions are leading the student toward the same goal, which is being regularly progress monitored.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would use something similar to this suggestion, but I think I would remove all of the interventions but one, test that out for a few weeks, and if that doesn't work then try a different intervention for a few weeks. It would be a trial and error situation. Rated On: June 30, 2015 8:53 pm Rated By: TaPeBu
