Topic 5: Planning Across the Tiers

In This Module

This activity can be completed individually or as part of a group discussion, depending on your setting and learning context. Use the organizer below to reflect on how reading instruction might look across all three tiers of support.

Prompt 1:

Choose one of the Five Pillars of Reading Instruction. Using the organizer, plan how you would teach, re-teach, and assess one specific skill at each Tier of intervention (Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3).

Prompt 2:

Think of a student in your class who has moved from Tier 1 to Tier 2 and back again.  

Reflect on:

  • What skill was being supported?
  • What led to the move between tiers?
  • How did the flexible, needs-based approach benefit the student?
