Currently, Ontario schools follow a three-tiered approach to intervention for students learning to read. This is a model of support that becomes progressively more intensive, precise, and personalized for students who are having difficulty learning. The Right to Read report released in 2022 says Ontario educators should use evidence-based approaches backed by the science of reading for all students. But how can these approaches be used for tier-three students across the province? LD@school visited the Amethyst Demonstration School in London, Ontario, to learn how their team successfully supports tier three students on their reading journey and how these supports can be used in any classroom for all students in Ontario.
