This document discusses a study on the effectiveness of Response to Intervention (RTI) instruction. It provides background on RTI, including that it is meant to prevent and address literacy disabilities through frequent progress monitoring and responsive interventions. The study examined approximately 20 6th and 7th grade students who scored at the novice level on standardized tests and were receiving RTI reading instruction. Students took the STAR reading test every two weeks, and results showed their scores generally increased over time, providing evidence that RTI can be an effective instructional method when implemented with fidelity.
