RTI Part 2: The Three Tier Model
Written by Diane Stout   

The Three-Tiered Model is not the only way to conduct a RTI (Response to Intervention), but it has been widely used and proven to be effective in Reading First Schools. Think of a triangle with the bottom third designated as Tier 1. This tier is general education where about 70%-80% of your students fall.

In Tier 1, students progress in a timely manner without extra help. Teachers should strive to get all students in this group! Many times after a struggling reader receives a little extra help, he/she can move back into Tier 1.

Know-It's Prescriptives

Oklahoma Prescriptives Lessons

Mr. Know-It's Prescriptive Lessons make it easy to reference and target specific reading skills. Using materials from Know-Its and Beyond: Stage I & II, the manual offers teachers a new format for meeting the needs of individual students. Lessons are correlated to the DIBELS assessment and various states' standards.

Research Published!

A study by Dr. Sandra Goetze evaluating the effectiveness of the Know-Its and Beyond Program has been published in The Journal of Balanced Reading Instruction, Spring 2008 (published by the International Reading Asssociation). The results "clearly demonstrated that students perfomed better on standardized testing" and "achieved significant gains in these [early literacy] skills when compared to students who did not participate" (p. 141, 155).
Mr. Know-It: May all you students become Know-Its
