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-word fictitious profile for this third-grade student with very poor fluency
skills that includes: Student information (name, age, language and social characteristics, ethnicity, any known
educational history, etc.) Explanation of concern Assessments or inventories already given and the results Current progress monitoring tool being used Create a 4- to 6-page response to intervention (RTI) plan for this student that specifically addresses fluency skills. Be detailed and specific. Include the following components in your plan: A description of Tier 1 intervention goals (written as measurable, observable objectives) Any state standard(s) that will be met through Tier 1 goal(s) An explanation of specific activities/strategies to develop the student’s reading fluency skills, including the use of technology tools A plan for assessing and monitoring the student’s progress, including a student self-assessment or monitoring strategy 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) Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports that can be used if the Tier 1 intervention is unsuccessful Note: Consider referring to the interventions you identified in your Wk 5 – Scientifically Based Interventions Graphic Organizer assignment.
