District-Supported Interventions for Struggling Readers in Grades K-2 These resources should be considered when students need more strategic (Tier II) or intensive (Tier III) intervention instruction, beyond the core reading program (Tier I). Fidelity of implementation is critical to the success of these research-based programs. Oral language intervention should be incorporated into all daily instruction, based on student need.

Supporting Differentiated Instruction for Struggling Readers Using Supplemental Leveled Texts Struggling readers become frustrated if unable to read grade-level text. When a student’s instructional reading level falls significantly below grade level, exposure to grade-level texts through scaffolded teacher support is vital. Scaffolded instructional support occurs as “teachers challenge their students to engage in learning tasks they are unable to complete independently by providing support,” through modeling, thinking aloud, and dialoguing, which enables students to actively participate by “sharing their teachers’ understanding of the tasks” until they become capable of performing the tasks independently.
