Myths about diagnostic assessment

 You need lots to make RTI work.  Only specialists can give them.

An assessment toolkit  Screening (Comprehension or Fluency)  Informal Decoding Inventory  Sight Word Inventory  Fluency Checks

Informal Decoding Inventory Part I: Single-Syllable Decoding  Short Vowels  Consonant Blends and Digraphs  R-Controlled Vowel Patterns  Vowel-Consonant-e  Vowel Teams Part II: Multisyllabic Decoding  Compound Words  Closed Syllables  Open Syllables  VC-e Syllables  R-controlled Syllables  Vowel Team Syllables  C+le Syllables

A stairway to proficiency

In our approach, all students receive differentiated instruction in small groups.

We therefore like to call it response to instruction.

If fluency is weak, you should A.Use research-based fluency strategies like repeated readings, partner reading, etc. B.Check first to see if there are significant gaps in word recognition skills.

If both fluency and word recognition are weak, you should A.Use research-based word recognition strategies that are explicit and systematic. B.Check first to see if there are significant gaps in phonological awareness.

{ Four Basic Groups

Takeaways  You don’t need many assessments at Tier 2.  Get rid of the ones you don’t need.  Use your toolkit to form small groups.  Reassess every three weeks.  Aim for “upward mobility” on the staircase.  Don’t forget motivation.  Check out each of the group types at: 
