  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!)
Well in my training, I was taught there should only be one intervention introduced at a time. This is because too many options for lower level learners tend to confuse students thus losing their functionality. As a suggestion, I would recommend the teacher remove all, but one intervention and implement it for about 3 weeks, probe the students on their progress, and then move forward based on the data collected.

Comments: This is exactly what I would do in this teachers situation. Too many interventions I believe will confuse the student which would only make it worse.

Comments: Yes; the problem with these students in the first place is that there is too much complexity involved with their reading and writing. There's no need for complexity to be added - a single intervention can give the students the simple tools they need to begin their road to improvement.

Comments: I couldn't agree more. Too many interventions may overwhelm the student. One intervention would be ideal.
