Teaching · Reading Intervention

Settle the data, materials and schedule before the first lesson.

ready before the first lesson
Drawn for this page. The first lessons go to waste when the starting point, materials or schedule are not settled.

How to use it

  1. Start a review with a student or group code and the date.
  2. Mark each student data item ready, not yet or not needed.
  3. Enter the schedule as planned and the program’s own minutes, sessions and largest group.
  4. Mark the teacher, materials, family and team items.
  5. Clear what the summary lists as blocking, then review again before the first lesson.

Start a readiness review

Before you start

Start from data

A structured literacy intervention starts where the diagnostic assessment shows the student is, not at grade level, and has a progress measure chosen before the first lesson so growth can be seen.

Dose matters

Fewer minutes, fewer sessions or a larger group than the program is built for weakens it. The program’s own guidance sets those numbers; type them in.

What it is not

Not a placement test or an eligibility decision. It checks that what a good start needs is in place.
