Deep dives
Using Screening Data to Improve Classroom Reading Instruction
After completing a universal screener, it is essential to use the data to evaluate the effectiveness of classroom reading instruction. This involves understanding each student's current skills and needs, aligning instruction to address those needs, and ensuring a match between instruction and students' skill levels. Instead of jumping straight to tiered interventions based on screening scores, focus on reducing the number of students who need additional support by strengthening tier one instruction. This includes reflecting on the curriculum, instructional routines, materials, teacher knowledge, and grouping strategies to promote differentiated instruction and meet diverse student needs.
