Reading Intervention

We know elementary intervention comes with its own set of challenges. When we asked, here’s what teachers told us feels hardest:⁠ ⁠ 👉 Piecing together phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension activities that don’t connect⁠ ⁠ 👉 Spending hours prepping but still wondering if you’re teaching the right skills⁠ ⁠ 👉 Watching progress stall because programs lean too heavily on just one area (phonics or comprehension)⁠ ⁠ Sound familiar?⁠ ⁠ See how Delivering SMARTER Intervention makes teaching reading...

How do you currently assess your students' literacy skills? ⁠ ⁠ When we were building our Delivering SMARTER Intervention: Elementary program, we knew we wanted to add a progress monitoring component that assessed PA, phonics, vocabulary, reading fluency, comprehension, and writing all in one place. ⁠ ⁠ This way, we can see where students are at (which allows us to create goals and tailor our instruction to their specific needs) and monitor their growth over time. ⁠ ⁠ Click to learn more!

Finally, structured literacy that fits your students, your setting, and your goals.⁠ ⁠ This isn’t just another program — it’s a complete system designed to deliver real literacy results, real student growth, and real support for the educators doing the work.⁠ ⁠ No more guessing. No more overwhelm. Just clear, structured intervention that actually works.⁠ ⁠ That’s exactly what you’ll find inside the Delivering SMARTER Intervention: Elementary Program. ⁠ ⁠ Click to learn more.

This week in our blog, "The Biggest Mistake We're Making in Literacy Intervention," we're breaking down what it looks like when fidelity turns into rigidity, and how we need to hold space for professional judgement and creativity.

When working on vowel teams, we talk to students about the differences between digraphs and diphthongs (sliding sounds). These occur when we have a noticeable change in sounds (as if one sound slides into the next). ⁠ ⁠ While there are additional sounds that can be considered diphthongs, we focus on these four patterns.

What's been the biggest "game-changer" when it comes to your elementary literacy intervention? ⁠ ⁠ For us, it was when we started creating lessons that targeted all 5 core components of literacy (PA, phonics, vocabulary, reading fluency, comprehension, and writing) in one lesson. ⁠ ⁠ Other programs we had tried put a lot of focus on one component (i.e., only targeting phonics or comprehension) but left out other critical literacy skills. ⁠ ⁠ Click to learn more about Delivering SMARTER...
