A little bit about me: I am a graduate student in school psychology who just completed my practicum year in an elementary school. Throughout my practicum experience I encountered many elementary school students who struggled with reading. Within the context of a Response to Intervention (RTI) framework, I conducted numerous reading interventions with students to try to improve their reading skills.
While I have not found it particularly difficult to find interventions to try with students, I do think it can be overwhelming, especially in the area of reading, as so many interventions exist! However, many schools require that interventions be evidence based, and not everything out there fits this description. I will be using this blog to share some of the evidence based interventions that I have found to be most helpful. Specifically, I will share instructions that I gathered to help with specific interventions, as well as resources that I have found particularly helpful such as websites and books. I have tried to focus on interventions that do not require expensive special materials. I hope that these resources will be helpful to others who work with students with learning disabilities in reading, as well as other struggling readers.
Hi, Elizabeth: Your blog looks good but don't you want to change the name to something more recognizable to the general public? You already have a follower!
