Intensive Reading Interventions for Struggling Readers in Early Elementary School: A Principal's Guide

This guide provides information critical to developing and implementing an effective school-level intervention program. It is designed to suggest some guiding principles along with examples of how these principles can be operationalized to develop an effective school-level system for meeting the instruction needs of all students. This guide may assist instructional leaders in schools that are implementing School Improvement Grants (SIG) and/or College and Career Ready Standards (including Common Core State Standards) as they plan effective elementary intervention programs that strengthen instruction. In a May 2006 webcast, author Joe Torgesen provided an overview of this guide, which is available here.
