In my last year in the classroom, I developed intervention plans for 7 readers. To be honest, it was my offensive move to save them from DIBLES. My plan included 2-3 20 minute tutoring sessions (I had a part time teacher working in my room during lit block), increased guided reading sessions, involvement in an after school program, weekly letters to parents and then individualized activities for each kid. LOTS of work, but got 5 out of 7 to grade level minimums by the end of the year.
