My action research plan is about students who were RTI in kindergarten
and now are in 1st grade. These students were struggling in reading.
These students are reading way below grade level. The goal is to provide these
students with the tools they need to be reading at read level at grade level or
above. Students were tested and were unable to recognize all letters and
sounds. There are 8 students, who were referred to this intervention plan at
the end of last year. Out of the 8 students only 5 returned this school year.
These students were tested by their teachers, and received copies of their
progress reports. I wanted to meet with the teachers every 3 weeks, but time is
keeping me from doing this. I have not been able to observe students in their
literacy centers. I spoke to my site supervisor and we agreed that maybe
observing three times a six weeks and meeting with the teacher every 6 weeks. I
had a chance to observe the 5 students in their literacy centers. One student
was RTI for behavior issues not academic. So I actually only have 4 students I
am monitoring for now. I am waiting to how many students are in need for RTI
services after the 1st six weeks.
I am planning to provide some must do for these students like
letter/sound recognition. They are still lacking the phonics foundation. Students
will also provide with some exercises in word family. I will also have them
work on speed with these words. Things seem to be moving fast this school year
and slow at the same time.
