Synopsis

Multi-Tier Systems of Support (MTSS) is a proven framework that incorporates problem solving and data-based decision making to match instruction to student need at various levels. The framework has been most effectively applied in elementary schools and is based on the premise that educators need to dialogue early and often about how to best teach every student to read. Schools and districts focused on student success use this tiered process as a systematic way to address the needs of underachieving students.
This reference guide is designed to provide elementary educators with critical information about reading within an MTSS framework. It also offers practical strategies to use in the major areas of reading for students who require additional exposures within the core reading program.
 Sections include: Reading Research Facts; Early Reading Difficulties; Understanding Reading; Reading Builds of Language; Understanding the MTSS Process; Tier 1 - Reading Instruction and the Core Curriculum; Instructional Design and Delivery Within the Core; Supporting the Core Curriculum; Phonological Awareness; Phonemic Awareness Instruction & Supports; Phonics Instruction and Supports; Fluency Instruction & Supports; Vocabulary Instruction & Supports; Comprehension Instruction & Supports; Tier 2 - Targeted Instruction; Tier 3 - Intensive Instruction; Specialized Reading Instruction.
