Follow-up From Presentations

I hope the RTI presentations last week were not too overwhelming and that we were able to provide you with some good information about the new process this year. Please remember to send us your questions - we are trying to to put together an FAQ. There were some requests for resources for interventions broken down by grade level. Here are a few good ones I have found so far.

This website is put together by the Florida Center for Reading Research which is affiliated with FSU - a lot of the reading research comes out of here so you can feel comfortable that the interventions suggested here are research based. There are some great materials that you can print off to use in your classroom. On each of the following links, scroll to the bottom of the page for activities.
K-1 activities: http://www.fcrr.org/Curriculum/studentCenterActivities.htm
2-3 activities: http://www.fcrr.org/Curriculum/studentCenterActivities23.htm
4-5 activities: http://www.fcrr.org/Curriculum/studentCenterActivities45.htm

This site appears to be similar to the I2I page on the Cobb County website we showed you last week - it is based on Tennessee curriculum standards but may still have some valuable information for you. It is also broken down by grade level and academic area.
