Small group instruction follows the framework of Reading Recovery, as developed by Marie Clay (2016), and adapted to small groups in English by Fountas and Pinnell (2014) with the Leveled literacy intervention (LLI). Spanish small groups follow a similar model, as articulated by Linda Dorn and Barbara Schubert (2008).
