📚 Literacy Enrichment at Beattie Elementary
At Beattie, our Literacy Intervention Team is committed to helping all readers “crack the code” through a well-structured, MTSS-aligned approach. We partner with families and classroom teachers to provide the right support at the right time.
🎯 Our MTSS Framework
Tier 1 – Universal:
- All students receive high-quality literacy instruction within co-taught classrooms—aligned with evidence-based, science-of-reading best practices.
- Teachers embed differentiated instruction, small-group reading, and literacy strategies in daily lessons.
Tier 2 – Targeted:
- When students require extra support, they are placed in WIN (What I Need) reading intervention groups with our Literacy Team.
- Groups of 4–6 students, meeting 30–45 minutes, four days/week, focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension through hands-on, kinesthetic approaches .
Tier 3 – Intensive:
- For students with persistent reading difficulties, we increase intervention intensity by providing specialized small-group or individual sessions using diagnostic assessments and data-driven goals .
- Frequency, duration, and focus adapt based on ongoing progress monitoring.
🛠️ Our Intervention Approach
During WIN time, students:
- Learn through direct instruction and live modeling
- Practice with repetition, games, and multisensory tools
- Develop strategies to boost decoding and comprehension
- Participate in guided reading and peer-practice activities
- Have progress each session monitored to ensure growth
🌟 Goals & Outcomes
- Empower lifelong readers who appreciate the joy of reading
- Ensure students find success at their level, building fluency, confidence, and independence
- Use data-based instruction: universal screeners (e.g., DIBELS, READ), progress monitoring every 1–3 weeks, and benchmark assessments guide instruction
- Adjust instruction in real time to address gaps quickly and effectively
