Dear IRIS Family,
The IRIS Center is pleased to present our latest module posting: The
Pre-Referral Process: Procedures for Supporting Students with Academic and
Behavioral Concerns. This module is a revision of one part of See Jane Read:
Teaching Reading to Young Children of Varying Disabilities and The Reading
Blues: Strategies to Help Upper-Elementary Students Move from Struggle to
Success. Neither of those earlier modules is now available.
The Pre-Referral Process: Procedures for Supporting Students with Academic and
Behavioral Concerns describes the six stages of the pre-referral process.
Schools not currently implementing the response to intervention approach (RTI)
for identification of students with learning disabilities might find this
information beneficial. Additionally, schools can use this process to identify
students with other disabilities.
Deborah Delatorre is new to Macy Middle School and new to teaching fifth
graders. For the last twenty years, she taught fourth graders at a private
elementary school, and this will be her first year teaching at a public school.
Her last school had a system for supporting students with and without
disabilities, but it was not a formal process. She wonders what she needs to
know about pre-referral, and she recognizes that she has a lot to learn in her
new job. To view The Pre-Referral Process: Procedures for Supporting Students
with Academic and Behavioral Concerns, please go to
