Homework: Reading Difficulties

Scenario: As you begin the school year with a new third-grade class, you notice that one of your students is especially weak in fluency. You have brought your concerns to the special education teacher for guidance on intervention strategies.

Create a 175 to 350 words fictitious profile for this third-grade student with very poor fluency skills that includes:

1. Student information (name, age, language and social characteristics, ethnicity, any known educational history, etc.)
2. Explanation of concern
3. Assessments or inventories already given and the results
4. Current progress monitoring tool being used

Create a 4 to 6 pages response to intervention (RTI) plan for this student that specifically addresses fluency skills. Be detailed and specific. Include the following components in your plan:

1. A description of Tier 1 intervention goals (write these as measurable, observable objectives)

2. Any state standard(s) that will be met through Tier 1 goal(s)

3. An explanation of specific activities/strategies to develop the student's reading fluency skills, including the use of technology tools

4. A plan for assessing and monitoring the student's progress, including a student self-assessment or monitoring strategy

5. A parental/family communication plan that supports the student's learning needs and promotes accountability, as well as includes home reinforcement activities that utilize technology (e.g., interactive software)

6. Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports that can be used if the Tier 1 intervention is unsuccessful.
