Moving Forward with RTI: Reading and Writing Activities for Every Instructional Setting and Tier: Small-G roup Instruction, In
"If you're a teacher trying to incorporate RTI into your day-to-day classroom practices, but you don't quite know how to manage it, then this book will be a cherished, well-guarded resource you'll want to chain to your desk." -Sharon Taberski
How do I keep the rest of the class engaged while I teach small groups?
"In the course of implementing RTI, teachers invariably search for ways to promote literacy learning and actively engage students in rich teacher-supported, peer-supported, and independent experiences. They need easy-to-adapt, open-ended options that will support and extend learning in any setting or context." -Mary Howard
In her first book, RTI from All Sides, Mary Howard alerted teachers to the merits and potential missteps of Response to Intervention. In this follow-up guide, Mary provides teachers with the flexible literacy activities they need to move ahead with RTI and implement effective differentiated instruction in a variety of settings-including whole-group, guided practice, small-group, partner work, and independent learning. Through these instructional and reinforcement activities teachers gain the freedom to work with small groups of students and the confidence that all their students are on-task with meaningful, high-level work.
"We can't warehouse students with decontextualized worksheets that promote passive learning and waste valuable time," Mary explains. &qhot;I developed response forms as a vehicle for thinking using teacher modeling, partner work, and collaboration that revolves around rich dialogue. These concrete tools are deeply rooted in research-based reading, writing, and discussion practices that serve as a springboard for learning." Each form and assessment sheet is carefully designed to cultivate daily rituals that introduce and support new learning while creating opportunities to promote student independence, encourage personal accountability, build long-term word knowledge, and make reading more purposeful and thoughtful. While ideal for tier 1 classroom instruction, these forms can be easily adjusted for tiers 2 and 3 when more intensity and teacher support is needed.
Building on her long-held belief that the key to RTI success is knowledgeable and empowered teachers, Mary Howard's Moving Forward with RTI is designed to help you manage your class using a variety of interactive teaching and learning tools within and beyond the literacy block.

Really helpful overview!

This book gives a general overview of RTI. If you are new to the RTI game, then this book is for you. If you are looking for something more specific or examples of interventions then you may want to skip this one. With taking the general, introductory focus of the book in mind, it was very informative for an RTI beginner.

A great overall book of RtI and the huge impact on Tier 1 (classroom) instruction. Decided to use it for an all school book study and we've had many, many great discussions.

Some ideas that I can use... maybe. I just wish there were more specifics as to what to use for Universal Screenings and specific interventions.

Had to read this for work as a member of the RTI (Response to Intervention) team at all 3 schools. Not amazing by any means, but had some useful info & was a quick, easy read.

I loved this book. Easy and applicable read. Loved the six T's.

This book was good from a k-3 perspective however it is grounded more in one teacher's opinion than in the research.

This is a good book for teachers wanting a basic overview of RTI that reaffirms the important role of teachers in assessment and instruction.
