RTI Math Support (Interventions)
Strategic/ Tier 2 Math Support (programs used to support core instruction)
Origo (1-3) provides an overall plan and approach for assessing and developing students'
number sense and computation skills:



Grade 1: Addition and subtraction strategies
Grade 2: Addition/subtraction facts; introducing formal methods for addition and
subtraction; introduction to multiplication
Grade 3: Extending formal methods for addition and subtraction; multiplication facts and
strategies; introduction to division
Math Navigator (3-6) provides a series of intervention modules that target and fill critical gaps and
clears up misconceptions in mathematics understanding; identifies and addresses the math
misconceptions that research shows holds students back; builds skills, problem solving and the
conceptual understanding needed for success in math. Navigator targets student needs with individual
units in the following areas:


Understanding Division
Knowing Fractions
Understanding Fractions
Multiplying Multi-digit Whole Numbers
Place Value: Decimals to Billions
Understanding and Reading Word Problems
Math Intensive Support (programs used as an alternative to core instruction)
Connecting Math Concepts (K-6) is a math core program designed so that all students will learn
to compute, solve problems and think mathematically. The rationale for the program is that
understanding mathematics requires making connections between related mathematic concepts
and the world around us. This program ensures that students understand these connections,
and it establishes relationship between concepts and their application.




Level A: The counting process is used to help students understand more or less,
addition, subtraction, place value and story problems.
Level B: Students learn math facts, number relationships, addition, subtraction,
multiplication, geometry, tables, and a problem solving strategy that can be used to solve
a wide range of story problem types.
Level C: Students learn a number of mapping techniques for relating problem solving to
real life situations; graphically represent word problems, measurement, money and time;
introduction to estimation, multiplication, division, and fractions
Level D: Students learn whole-number skills to include multiplication and division
algorithms; fractions and mixed number concepts and applications; introduction to
decimals; extensive problem solving activities
RTI Reading Interventions
Strategic/ Tier 2 Reading Support (programs which are used to support core
instruction)
Early Reading Intervention (K-1) is designed to provide at-risk kindergarten and first grade
children with a systematic intervention to improve reading achievement. Students learn to
recognize letter names and sounds; identify initial and final sounds of a word; break words down
into individual letter sounds (segmenting); say the sounds as a word (blending); read selected irregular
words; read beginning sentences.
Waterford Early Reading Program (K-2) is a software-based curriculum designed to promote
reading, writing, and typing, incorporating literacy skills such as letter mastery, language stories,
spelling, basic writing skills, reading and listening development, and comprehension strategies.
Phonics for Reading (2-6) is a supplementary phonics program designed to teach phonemic
decoding to students who have not yet mastered those skills.



Level 1 focuses on vowels, consonants, consonant blends (st, mp, nd, nt, sk, tw, pl) and
digraphs (ck, th, sh, wh)
Level 2 progresses with vowel combinations (ai, ay, ee, ea, oa, ow, igh), r-controlled
vowel sounds (ar, or, er, ir, ur), common endings (ed, ing, er), and CVCe words (e.g., late)
Level 3 expands concepts with vowel combinations (e.g., oo, aw, au, oi), letter
combinations (e.g, kn, ph, wr, qu), common prefixes and suffixes (e.g., un, dis, pre, de,
able, ful, ness), minor consonant sounds for c and g (e.g., city and gym)
Rewards Intermediate (5-6) is an intense, short-term intervention programs for older students
who have mastered basic reading skills, but experience difficulty reading multisyllabic words in
grade level materials, and/or who read slowly (i.e., 60-120 correct words per minute).
Reading Intensive Support (programs used as an alternative to core instruction)
Reading Mastery (K-3) is an alternate core reading program, designed to teach students directly
and explicitly to read fluently, utilizing essential decoding and comprehension skills.
Grade K: Students learn the sounds for each letter, learn to break words down into individual
letter sounds, to say the sounds as a word, learn to read words, and learn to read stories and
answer comprehension questions
Grade 1: Students learn to use letter sound combinations, to use the final e decoding rule, to use
word parts to decode complex words, to answer interpretive comprehension questions, to make
inferences, and to draw conclusions
Corrective Reading: Decoding (4-10) is an alternate core program which uses direct and explicit
instruction to help low-performing students to identify words accurately and to significantly
increase reading rates.
Decoding Level A: Students sound out words and read basic sentences and simple stories
Decoding Levels B1 and B2: Students apply difficult sound-spelling patterns, read more difficult
irregular words, read stories designed to correct common error patterns, increase reading rate
from 30 words per minute up to 110 words per minute and answer comprehension questions.
