MTSS High-Leverage Practices Reference
A reference guide for K-5 teachers outlining high-leverage practices for oral reading fluency, alphabetic principle, and reading comprehension. It progresses from basic to intensive interventions, supporting the modification of MTSS goals and SMART goals when initial interventions are ineffective.
“Please make me 3 separate lists of high leverage practices for oral reading fluency, alphabetic principle, and reading comprehension. These lists should begin with the most basic interventions and progress to the most intense interventions. This will be used as a reference for MTSS goals if interventions are ineffective so teachers in grades k-5 can modify SMART goals.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this guide when initial MTSS interventions are not yielding desired results for K-5 students.
- Consider the progression from basic to intensive interventions when selecting or modifying practices.
- Discussion question: How can these high-leverage practices be integrated into existing Tier 1 instruction?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Focus on the foundational skills listed in the 'basic interventions' sections.
- Extension for advanced students: Research and present on the evidence base for a specific high-leverage practice.
- Estimated time: This is a reference document, not a lesson; time will vary based on application.
