I work in a Title I school as a Title I Reading Teacher. We screen students individually and plan their intervention based on their specific needs. Some children are grouped for only comprehension, some for specific decoding strategies, some for phonological issues (yes, even older kids) and some for a bundle of combined skills.

We knew the students had strong comprehension skills, but e noticed that this was only true orally. The kids could apply the trategies, but could not read the words! Our principal backed up and we ssessed all struggling middle schoolers. What we found was that many had ery weak phonics skills. The decision was made to use the reading nterventionist for the middle school to teach specific phonics lessons to roups using explicit phonics instruction. We also used phonics instruction nto the daily lessons (yes, middle school). The result was that our state est scores for middle school increased 15%. The program was the Ashlock xplicit strategies, Phonics for Reading, QPS to test....etc. Just my two ents. acine ---- Original Message ----- rom: "Rhonda Brinkman" <[email protected]> o: "Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group" [email protected]> ent: Saturday, October 08, 2011 8:09 PM ubject: [MOSAIC] title 1 reading - help Hello everyone, We JUST received our first Title 1 monies at the middle school level. It is for targeted students only. We proposed that the Title 1 reading teacher would use the balanced literacy approach. We are interviewing and hiring this week. Please help with ideas on how this could work effectively. I will take any and all suggestions. What works and doesn't work. With school on its way we need this baby up and running brilliantly! Thanks in advance!
