Research Question:Does implementing RTI and establishing a targeted intervention for a small group of students at the Tier 2 level, result in higher outcomes for that targeted group?

Multi-Tiered Approach
Three Tiers

Students Assessment and Identification
Criteria for Formation of Tier 2 GroupStudents Considered At RiskAt Risk Determined by Initial Data AnalysisYopp-Singer Test of Phonemic SegmentationIn Conjunction with Observational NotesChildren Who May Benefit From Small Group InstructionChildren Who Also Demonstrated Readiness for Small Group Instruction2 Girls and 2 Boys Chosen / One of The Boys Legally Blind
Specific Targeted InstructionsLesson One:
Modeling and Guided Practice
Small wooden animals in a sack.
This is a dog and it starts with /d/.
Girl (A) and Boy (B) Understood Initial PhonemeGirl (R) Understood a 1/3 / Boy (S) Understood 0, Got /s/ on Spider 1-1
Specific Targeted InstructionsLesson Three:Elkonin Boxes IntroducedUnsuccessfulUnsure of themselves Focus on Initial Phonemes More Word PlaysExample: /r/ /e/ /d/Slide Chips for Each PhonemeNext Slide Just Listen
Specific Targeted InstructionsLesson Five:Silly Song ChartVery SuccessfulChange Your NameExample; Susan to /T/ usanUsed: /t/, /d/, & /f/

Specific Targeted InstructionsLesson Six:Warm up / Word Play with Kinesthetic ApproachStretching Words Fingertips Lightly Touch the Floor for the First Phoneme Stretched up the Middle, They Say Second PhonemeReaching to the Ceiling They Sounded the Ending PhonemeUsed Their Names & Pets Names for RelevanceSuccessful(in the case of two phonemes a continuation of the second one towards the ceiling, or in three plus phonemes just the ending one as they reach towards the ceiling.).
Specific Targeted InstructionsLesson Seven & Ten:Hula Hoop Phonemic SegmentationVery Successful / Kinesthetic Approach(A) & (B) Able to Segment 2 Phoneme Word(s) and 3 Phoneme Word(s)(R) Able to Segment 2 Phoneme Word(s)(S) Able to Segment One 2 Phoneme Word

Tier 2 / Test Group
One Caveat? The Validity with One Students Results(R) was Happy, Albeit, Unfocused on the Summative Assessment Day.Would Like to Reassess her
Control Group
Analysis on Control Group(K) Was able to state of the first phonemes.Often did not Pronounce them Correctly /rah/ for /r/A Lot of Mistakes with Vowel /i/ for /ee/ and /ah/ for /e/(G) Lots of Mistakes /nah/ for /n/ and /da/ for /r/ *She sounded out last phoneme in word and did so incorrectly(M) Inattentive, Rubbing Eyes (M) Might be Responsive to a Kinesthetic Approach? Hula Hoops?
Future Strategies More Time, Extend to Grading Period4-5 Xs a Week ( Instead of the 2Xs)15-20 Per Session (Longer Than 20 Min. They Lose Focus)More Kinesthetic Approaches (Yoga?)Small Hula Hoops For Each StudentMore Songs and Word Plays.
Recommendations / Further Resources and Study IdeasBoy (S) Recommended for Tier 3 InstructionsUse RTI in Literacy InstructionsExtend RTI Framework for Other Areas Such as Math & ScienceExplore Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program (LiPS)Formerly Called the ADD ProgramIndividuals Become Aware of Mouth Actions Which produce Speech SoundsThen Able to Self- Correct in Reading, Spelling and Speech.
