The Problem
Mid-year screening data showed 48% of K-3 students were below benchmark in reading. Intervention existed but was scattershot — students were grouped by classroom rather than by skill deficit. Some students were getting phonics intervention when their gap was fluency. Teachers reported that intervention time felt wasted because groups were too heterogeneous.
The Plan
-
1Import screening data and group by specific skill deficitNot by overall score — a phonics gap is different from a fluency gap. Max 5 students per group.Data Import Groups Data Wall See example
-
230-min daily rotations: intervention + guided + enrichmentAll students rotate. Some get targeted intervention, others get enrichment. Nobody is singled out.30 min/day
-
3Regroup every 6 weeks using current dataStudents who reach benchmark graduate to enrichment. New students move in. Data drives every decision.DataDay Data Wall Factors See example
The Team
The literacy coach redesigned the intervention model with input from grade-level teams.
