Interpreting the results of an early literacy screener, forming intervention groups, and providing proper intervention routines can play a key role in reading remediation. Maximize your Response To Reading (RTI) practice with understanding what the screeners tell you and knowing how to group students based on needs. Then, learn what activities and instruction you can provide to maximize the growth of your students.

Emphasis will be placed on explicit and multisensory instruction, with repeated practice in routines. Instructional routines will encompass the developmental skills of early literacy in Kindergarten and first grade. This session is perfect for teachers, reading and literacy specialists, special educators, and those who want a deeper understanding of the foundational skills required for early literacy.
