Mrs. Pellin's Post
November 8th to November 12th
The RTI program applies interventions carefully designed to meet the specific needs of each student. Each week I will reinforce the reading and writing skills taught in the first and second grade Houghton Mifflin core curriculum. We will focus on vocabulary, comprehension, high-frequency words and phonics skills associated with the stories that are read in the students' classrooms.
First grade: The first graders will be given assessments to measure their current reading level this week.
Second grade: The second grade students will learning the difference between fiction and non-fiction stories this week. They will be reading two stories about an owl. One will be a non-fiction story and the other will be a fiction story. The students will write about the similarities and differences between these two stories. They will also make a Venn diagram using many facts about owls.

This intervention extends the Read Naturally strategy to improve phonics and fluency skills in small group situations. The fluency skills are improved by the following:
1. Developing phonemic awareness of the letter sounds in words.
2. Developing the phonemic awareness of blending sounds in words.
3. Strengthening the proficiency with the sounds of the letters.
4. Teaching to decode short, phonetically regular words.
5. Building fluency in decoding.
6. Spelling short, phonetically regular words.
By combining phonics instruction with the fluency building GATE for Phonics accelerates the reading achievement of beginning readers.
Center Cass School District # 66 has implemented an Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) mandate, Response To Intervention (RTI). RTI is an array of procedures that can be used to determine if and how students respond to specific changes in instruction. RTI provides an improved process and instruction for school teams in designing and implementing educational interventions.
