Five strategies for an effective literacy intervention plan
Increase Reading Proficiency for struggling students
Effective literacy initiatives require more than just evidence‑based programs. Districts and schools must also focus on implementing programs through tiers of instruction, how to train and support staff, and how to control for fidelity and program effectiveness.
Since 1986, Lindamood-Bell has worked successfully with school districts to implement literacy initiatives.
We support educators in providing evidence-based instruction consistent with a structured literacy approach.
In our new guide, Five Strategies for an Effective Literacy Intervention Plan, we offer five tips—derived from our partnerships—to assist district administrators and teachers in implementing an effective literacy plan for struggling readers, including students with dyslexia. These proven practices include:
- Reading instruction that is evidence-based and grounded in science
- Differentiated instruction that prioritizes the component parts of reading
- Targeted and intensive intervention to accelerate learning and close reading gaps
- Sustained, job-embedded professional development
- Shared leadership and strategic vision across departments
Each strategy includes specific tips that school leaders and teachers can begin discussing or implementing immediately.
