  Case: Too many interventions?
A teacher has 2-3 first grade students that are struggling to read. 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 definitely think communication between and collaboration among those teachers is going to be essential to the lexile growth of those students. I believe that either an RTI, 504, or IEP meeting should be called with all of the teachers of those students, the special education director, and any time of remediation teacher or paraprofessional. They must do testing to identify the specific issues of the students and streamline their efforts across the students' classes to help boost their lexile levels.
