What is LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention)?

The Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention System (LLI) is an intensive, small-group, supplementary literacy intervention for students who find reading and writing difficult. The goal of LLI is to lift the literacy achievement of students who are not achieving grade-level expectations in reading. The LLI systems are designed to:

• Advance the literacy learning of students not meeting grade-level expectations in reading

• Deepen and expand comprehension with close reading

• Elevate the expertise of teachers

• Increase reading volume by engaging students in large amounts of successful daily reading

• Increase student engagement with books that build knowledge

• Intervene with small groups of struggling readers to maximize growth

• Meet the needs of struggling readers

• Monitor student progress
