RTI From All Sides

In RTI from All Sides, Howard points the way toward thoughtful and effective RTI-and away from potentially dangerous, rigid implementations. She offers suggestions for instructional design, collaboration, and troubleshooting-even for avoiding mediocre RTI products. Most important, she demonstrates how to apply the principles you trust to RTI:

• teaching reading and writing in authentic ways to help students choose just-right books that set them up to read in and out of school
• using simple, ongoing assessments to know when to intensify instruction inside and outside the regular classroom
• differentiating reading instruction to maintain the flow between whole-class, small-group, and one-on-one instruction while meeting specific students' needs
• designing interventions to amplify instruction instead of sidelining students to skill-and-drill that takes them further from engaged, proficient reading
• coordinating efforts within and between instructional supports to emphasize acceleration through the targeted instruction students need to succeed.
