Literacy Intervention Identification Process
This document captures our literacy intervention identification criteria in detail by grade level. Below is a brief description of our Tiers of support for literacy interventions.
Some Risk of not achieving grade level proficiency as determined by our universal screener.

High Risk of not achieving grade level proficiency as determined by our universal screener.

Weekly progress monitoring
**Grade levels with Title Assistant support will be structured differently. In this model, Title Assistants will work primarily with Tier 2 students (those identified as “some risk”). Classroom teachers will then provide targeted support to high-risk students who are not already receiving services from an interventionist. This approach ensures that our highest-need students are supported by our most qualified staff.**
The graphic below is designed to help staff identify which diagnostic assessment can be used to determine a students targeted instructional needs.
Hastings Elementary Small Group Instruction and Intervention Model
Small group instruction will be primarily focused on providing targeted supports for students performing below grade level proficiency. Classroom teachers and interventionists will work together to target students who are determined to need Tier 2 or Tier 3 instructional supports. More information on the model shown below can be found in our District Literacy Guide on pages 5-10.
