I can say what RTI means.
 I can use the pile protocol to find students that
need extra instruction.
 I can administer and score the DDS diagnostic
screener
 I know what to do with the DDS diagnostic
screener after I have my student’s scores.
 I know what my next steps are for administering
an intervention model in my classroom or
building.

RTI MODEL
RTI
RTI is not a program, it’s a
philosophy/tool/framework
 RTI stands for Response To Intervention
(sometimes Response to Instruction)
 In the past, we’ve had a “wait to fail” model. RTI
is Preventative Model

RTI CORE PRINCIPLES
Use all available resources to teach all students –
minimize silos
 Universal screening for prevention instead of
waiting for intervention
 Multi-tier model of service delivery
 Explicit & systematic instruction
 Data based decisions using a problem solving or
standard protocol approach
 Monitor student progress frequently
 Multiple assessment measures
 Monitoring implementation fidelity

RTI
In an RTI/Intervention model, students do not
stay in intervention groups forever. Every 4-6
weeks, use assessment to re-group.
 RTI is not for everyone, it’s for the kids who need
it.
 The nature of the intervention changes at each
tier, becoming more rigorous as the student
moves through the tiers
 Students move up and down the tiers depending
on need

WHY WE’RE REALLY DOING THIS
Students speak to us
through their data. It is
up to us to hear what they
are telling us and do
something about it!

WHAT DO THE SCORES MEAN?
Reading fluently with comprehension is the
ultimate goal.
 DIBELS uses early skills (LNF, PSF, NWF, ORF)
to predict how likely it is a child will be a strong
reader later.
 Students must achieve or exceed goals on time to
be on track for successful reading.

WHAT DO SCREENING DATA TELL US?



WCPM and accuracy scores below benchmark
screening data indicate that a student may not be
reading well enough to have strong
comprehension.
Screening data answer the question: Is the
student reading with appropriate rate and
accuracy to indicate adequate
comprehension?
The ‘Pile Protocol’ allows us to determine which
students need further diagnostic assessment
PILE PROTOCOL

FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT

Students who meet both WCPM and accuracy
percentage benchmarks on the Oral Reading
Fluency screening assessment (Strong Readers):
Do not need diagnostic assessment
 Do not need intervention


Students who do not meet BOTH WCPM and
accuracy percentage benchmarks (Moderate
Decoding Issues and Significant/Severe Decoding
Issues) should receive diagnostic assessment to
pinpoint area(s) of weaknesses.

Areas of weakness will guide instructional planning
and instruction.
DECODING IS ESSENTIAL FOR READING
COMPREHENSION AT ALL AGES

Assess decoding abilities first

If students cannot decode well and easily, reading
fluency and comprehension will be hindered even if
the students have strong vocabularies and
comprehension
WHAT DO YOUR STUDENTS DO WHEN
THEY DON’T KNOW HOW TO DECODE?
Skip words
 Add words
 Misread vowels (bench for bunch)
 Guess based on context (mom for mother)
 Misread multi-syllabic words
 Misread or skip articles (in, of, the, to, etc.)

These errors will lead to comprehension
mistakes…not always, but sometimes.
WHY STUDENTS IN HIGHER GRADES HAVE
DECODING PROBLEMS


Problems often don’t show up until higher grades
because students guessed successfully in the
early grades when words are easy to guess.
Older students experience less and less success
with guessing as text becomes more difficult.
BEGIN DIAGNOSIS OF READING DIFFICULTIES
BY ASSESSING DECODING ABILITIES

Even with WCPM and Accuracy Percentage
scores, we don’t know why students are having
difficulties.
Comprehension
Vocabulary
Decoding
STUDENTS NEED TO READ WORDS IN
ISOLATION IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY DECODING
WEAKNESSES


Reading carefully selected real and nonsense
words in isolation is an efficient diagnostic
assessment.
Examine error patterns to determine the specific
confusions and the depth of the weaknesses.
CHECK IN

Turn to your partner and tell them how you’ve
met these learning targets so far:

Words and Sentences to Read
Administering and Scoring The
Beginning Decoding Survey
(Summary directions are available in your DDS)
Administering the Survey:
1. Ask the student to read the words and sentences on
the Student Page.
2. Use the Recording Form to record student’s responses:
•
Put a check by words the student reads correctly.
•
Write exactly what the student says when
reading a word incorrectly.
Recording Form
Scoring the Survey:
1. Total the number of words read correctly.
2. Complete the Error Grid by marking all columns that
describe the student’s error when reading a word. You
can complete the grid after the student reads the
words and sentences.
3. Total the marks in each error column.
Error Types -
Error types are listed at the top
and bottom of the columns on the
Error Grid
•No Try: Mark only when a student does not attempt to read a word.
•Sight Word: Mark when a student misreads a sight word.
•Sound Added or Omitted: Mark when a student attempts to read
a word, but adds or omits a sound. This is a ‘guesser’ column because
students only add or omit sounds when they are guessing.
•Initial Consonant: Mark when a student misreads or omits the
initial consonant.
•Final Consonant: Mark when a student misreads or omits the
final consonant. This is a ‘guesser’ column because students who are
confused by the vowel often guess at the final consonant sounds.
•Short Vowel: Mark when a student misreads a short vowel.
•Consonant Digraph & qu: Mark when a student misreads or
omits a digraph or qu.
•Blend: Mark when a student misreads or omits reading any part of
a blend.
DIGRAPHS AND BLENDS REMINDERS

SCORING RULES – SINGLE HIGH
FREQUENCY WORDS
•Check (√) words read correctly.
•Write NT (for no try) if the student does not attempt the word.
•Put ‘x’s in both the “No Try” and the “Sight Word” boxes on the grid.
•If student misreads a word, write the response.
•Put an ‘x’ in the “Sight Word” box on the grid, and do not put ‘x’s in
any other boxes.
•If the student responds twice, write both responses and put one ‘x’ in
the “Sight Word” box on the grid.
•Write ‘SC’ if the student self-corrects.
•Self-corrections count as errors.
•Put an ‘x’ in the “Sight Word” box on the grid.
SCORING RULES – SINGLE DECODABLE
WORDS
•Check (√) words read correctly.
•If students misread words, write all responses.
•If the student responds twice, write both responses.
•Put ‘x’s in Error Grid boxes for all errors in both words.
•Write NT (for no try) if the students does not attempt the word.
•Put an ‘x’ in the “No Try” box on the Error Grid. (No ‘x’ is in the Sound Added/Omitted
box because that column is for Sounds Added/Omitted within a word.)
•Put ‘x’s in all applicable boxes on the Error Grid. (These boxes have ‘x’s because the
student did not read any part of the word.
•Write SC if the student self-corrects.
•Self-corrections count as errors when totaling number of Words Read Correctly.
•Mark all errors in the misread words, even if the student self-corrects.
SCORING RULES – PROMPT ONCE IF THE STUDENT
DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO SAY THE WORD #1
•When a student does not attempt to read a word, prompt the student once
to try to read the word.
•If the student attempts to read the word, do not mark a NT and score
as if that is the student’s first response.
•If the student does not attempt to read “quit”, ask the student to
try. If the student reads “quite”, write quite and mark the errors
for quite.
SCORING RULES – PROMPT ONCE IF THE STUDENT
DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO SAY THE WORD #2
•When a student does not attempt to read a word, prompt the
student once to try to read the word.
•If the student still doesn’t read the word, mark NT and score as
a no try.
•If the student does not attempt to read ‘dust’, ask the
student to try. If the student still makes no attempt, mark
NT and core the errors for a No Try.
SCORING RULES – PROMPT ONCE IF THE STUDENT
DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO SAY THE WORD #2
•When a student does not attempt to read a word, prompt the
student once to try to read the word.
•If the student reads the word correctly after the prompt, mark
the work as read correctly.
•If the student does not attempt to read ‘step’, ask the
student to try. If the student reads the word correctly,
place a check next to the word and count it as correct.
SCORING RULES – SENTENCES
(DECODABLE WORDS)
•Put a check (√) above words read correctly.
•If the student misreads the word, put a slash through the word and
write what the student says above the word.
•If the student omits the word, put a slash through the word
•Put an ‘x’ in the No Try box on the Error Grid. (no X goes in the
Sounds Added/Omitted box because that column is for sounds added and/or omitted
within a word.)
•Put ‘x’s in all applicable boxes on the Error Grid. (These boxes have
‘x’s because the student did not read any part of the word.)
SCORING RULES – SENTENCES (SIGHT WORDS)
x
NOTE –Sight Words are in italics on the Recording Form.
•If the student misreads a Sight Word in italics, put a slash through the
word and write what the student says.
•Mark an ‘x’ in the Sight Word box on the Error Grid.
•If the student omits a Sight Word, put a slash through the word.
•Put ‘x’s in both the No Try and the Sight Word boxes on the Error
Grid.
OTHER SCORING RULES
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Gray boxes (NA) on the grid are not applicable for scoring.
If a student reads the word correctly, then reads it incorrectly,
put a check (√) by the word, then write what the student says
when he/she misreads.
Mark errors in all words a student reads incorrectly.
One error can cause more than one box on the grid to be marked.
• brag read as rag warrants ‘x’s in 3 boxes: Sounds
Added/Omitted, Initial Consonants, & Blends.
Digraphs do not count as Initial or Final Consonants
• A missed digraph is marked in the digraph column.
When totaling the number correct, each word missed counts as
one error –regardless of the number of times the student
attempted the word.
If students blend a word correctly, count it as one error for Words
Read Correctly, but do not mark errors across the page.
OBSERVATIONS
•Certain characteristics that might be observed as the student reads are
listed in the Observation section in the upper right hand corner of the
Error Grid.
•Check a box if you observe any of the characteristics.
•For b/d or b/p errors, put a check every time you notice the error,
which may indicate the severity of the issue.

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT DONALD?

Strengths
He reads beginning and ending consonants, blends,
and digraphs well.
 He reads real words quite accurately. (Missed one
vowel: read reach for rich.)


Weaknesses
Short vowels are his most basic difficulty.
 He guesses when he reads even very simple
sentences.
 His lack of ability to read nonsense words tells us he
does not understand basic letter-sound
correspondences, especially with vowels.

LOOKING AT READING DIFFICULTIES
Look at the presenter’s Beginning Decoding
Survey. What is your presenter’s reading
difficulties?
 Look at your partner’s Beginning Decoding

ADVANCED DECODING SURVEYS
Students with scores lower than benchmark are likely to need intervention
to become strong decoders
USING SCREENING AND
DIAGNOSTIC DATA TO GROUP
STUDENTS
BEN – CAN YOU PLAN INSTRUCTION BASED
ON BEN’S SCORES?

Without having access to Ben’s specific errors,
work with a partner to identify Ben’s decoding
weaknesses and determine what Ben’s
intervention instruction will include.
SLOW READERS DON’T ALWAYS NEED
FLUENCY INSTRUCTION



Slow readers can be accurate or inaccurate.
Slow, inaccurate readers almost always have
difficulty with decoding.
Slow, but accurate, reading may be caused by:
Taking time to figure out the word based on context
because decoding skills are weak.
 Lack of vocabulary, which means the student has to
sound out many words.
 Slow processing.

STUDENTS ASSESSED WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC
DECODING SURVEYS FALL INTO 6 INSTRUCTIONAL
CATEGORIES

HOW TO GROUP STUDENTS AND DETERMINE
INSTRUCTIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS?


Look at similarities in decoding difficulties to
form groups and develop instructional
recommendations
Form groups based on needs of students and staff
resources
FORMING GROUPS: A SCENARIO

Mythical School’s 2nd grade team wants to start
an intervention group. They have 2 classroom
teachers ready to start. Ms. Sally’s class has 8
students who need short vowel decoding work
(based on the DDS). Mr. Jones’ class has 7
students who need help with CVC and sight
words. They decide to spend 25 minutes before
lunch every day “walking to intervention”. Mr.
Jones takes the 15 students who need decoding
help and forms a small group. Ms. Sally takes her
remaining students and Mr. Jones’ students and
works on deeper comprehension and vocabulary
skills using the Reading Street lessons she never
gets to.
FORMING GROUPS: A SCENARIO

Storybook School’s 5th grade team consists of one
classroom teacher, Ms. Blue. Ms. Blue’s class has 5
students who need advanced vowel decoding work
(based on the DDS), 5 students who need work on
multisyllabic words and the rest of her students are
at benchmark. Ms. Blue asks one of her student’s
grandma (who is a retired school bus driver) to come
into class for 20 minutes every day. Grandma Green
has the remaining 18 students read Advanced
Leveled Reader books and discuss them using the
Making Meaning format. During this time Ms. Blue
pulls the 10 students to the back of the room and
works on multisyllabic decoding, with an emphasis on
the vowels in the multisyllabic words.
GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING


Gather with your grade level team from your
building.
Discuss the following:
What human-resources are available at your building to
provide interventions? (Think of all of them: parents,
volunteers, high school older brothers, grandparents,
community members, lunch ladies, office staff with a “free”
20 minutes a day)
 What small bits of time do you have as a team if you
wanted to “walk to intervention”? What small bits of time
do you have if you need to do intervention on your own?
 What are some possible scenarios you can develop for your
team?
 What needs to happen next at _________ in order for you to
implement an RTI model that includes systematic Tier 2
instruction?

INTERVENTION NEXT STEPS
NOW THAT YOU HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE,
USE IT!
Look at student’s scores and DIBELs booklets
