  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!)
There are many research based strategies out there; however, not every strategy works for every student. It is pertinent that only one intervention is implemented at a time. This time period should be a minimum of 2 weeks. At this time, the teacher and other team members should decide if this implementation is helping the student progress or if another intervention should be used. My suggestion is to find a program or intervention that works based on students learning style.

Comments: I feel like 2 weeks is not adequate time to give the strategies to work. Maybe give it a month?

Comments: Every student moves at a different pace, which is why I believe that only one intervention happen at a time, and they should only progress as fast as the student keeps up with it.

Comments: Being sensitive to how the students learn would definitely be helpful in determining how to help. Using one intervention at a time would help show what progress is being made (if any) and would be telling in how to change or adapt your plans so they work.
