As you begin the school year with a new third-grade class, you notice that one of your students
is especially weak in fluency. You have brought your concerns to the special education teacher
for guidance on intervention strategies.
Create a 175- to 350-word fictitious profile for this third-grade student with very poor fluency
skills that includes:
Student information (name, age, language and social characteristics, ethnicity, any known
educational history, etc.)
Explanation of concern
Assessments or inventories already given and the results
Current progress monitoring tool being used
Create a 4- to 6-page response to intervention (RTI) plan for this student that specifically
addresses fluency skills. Be detailed and specific. Include the following components in your
plan:
A description of Tier 1 intervention goals (written as measurable, observable objectives)
Any state standard(s) that will be met through Tier 1 goal(s)
An explanation of specific activities/strategies to develop the student’s reading fluency skills,
including the use of technology tools
A plan for assessing and monitoring the student’s progress, including a student self-assessment
or monitoring strategy
A parental/family communication plan that supports the student’s learning needs and
promotes accountability, as well as includes home reinforcement activities that utilize
technology (e.g., interactive software)
Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports that can be used if the Tier 1 intervention is unsuccessful
Note: Consider referring to the interventions you identified in your Wk 5 – Scientifically Based
Interventions Graphic Organizer assignment.
Include in-text citations and an APA-formatted reference page.
