Description
Literacy Intervention Program Review |
Reading/Literacy specialists need to be familiar with the most current curricular programs used by schools and districts to teach literacy. Knowledge of these programs enables reading/literacy specialists to support evidence-based practices around data collection, instruction, and assessment, as well as related interventions.
Create a graphic organizer to outline three evidence-based literacy intervention programs designed to support struggling readers in a more intensive learning environment (e.g., Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) Fountas and Pinnell, Reading Recovery, Read 180, Accelerated Reader, Success for All, Wilson Fundations) for your school administration, including at least one that utilizes technology.
In 500-750 words, include the following in your graphic organizer for each program:
- Name of program and appropriate grade levels.
- What the program is intended to teach or remediate.
- How the program is implemented.
- Assessments that are part of the program or ways to measure student progress.
- Current research supporting the effectiveness of the program.
You are encouraged to select literacy programs relevant to your field experience classroom or the school/district in which you are immersed.
Select one of the programs from the graphic organizer that you would recommend. Then, in 250-500 words, discuss how this program could be used by reading/literacy specialists and teachers to support literacy learning and meet the needs of all students. How will the chosen program be disseminated to staff, implemented, and continuously evaluated in a way that fosters a positive literacy environment?
Support your work with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

The name and grade levels for each program are incorrect.
What each program is intended to teach/remediate is
unrealistic.
The implementation process for each program is unfitting or
incompletely explained.
Explanation of how each program measures student progress
is unconvincing or methods are inadequate.
Research supporting the effectiveness of each program is
irrelevant.
Discussion on the recommended program and how
reading/literacy specialists and teachers can use the program
to support literacy learning and meet the needs of all
students is inappropriate.
How the program will be disseminated to staff, implemented,
and continuously evaluated in a way that fosters a positive
literacy environment is incomprehensible.
The work is not neat or organized. Work would not be
presentable to school colleagues.
Documentation of sources is inconsistent and/or incorrect, as
appropriate to assignment and style, with numerous
formatting errors.
Surface errors are pervasive enough that they impede

How the program will be disseminated to staff, implemented,

expertly explained.

proficiently explained.
Current research supporting the effectiveness of each
program is insightfully included.
A quality program is recommended and how reading/literacy
specialists and teachers can us it to support literacy learning
and meet the needs of all students is convincing.
