Questions and Answers On Response to Interven-
tion (RTI) and Early Intervening Services (EIS)
Welcome!
In this edition of CeDIR Citings, we’ll look at
Response to Intervention/Instruction, a method
of academic instruction providing assistance to
children who are having difficulty learning. RTI
uses a combination of early intervention, frequent
assessment, and increasingly intensive instruction.
Here we have included both library materials that
can be checked out and websites on the topic.
