40 Reading Intervention Strategies for K–6 Students:
Research-Based Support for RTI


Struggling students need a different kind of instruction, more time, and ample amounts of guided practice to help them become confident readers. The interventions in 40 Reading Intervention Strategies for K–6 Students are designed for general educators to use with individuals or small groups of students who simply cannot keep up with the pace of instruction. All of the interventions are grounded in research. The author provides:

  • Ways to teach more vocabulary in less time, resulting in greater understanding and retention
  • More than 30 sample lessons with step-by-step instructions and teaching formats that include modeling, ways to build in student practice, and suggestions for keeping students engaged
  • Strategies for thinking aloud to scaffold challenging comprehension skills such as inferencing, summarizing, and monitoring
  • Grade-level notations to help determine which strategies work best at specific grade levels
  • A topical table of contents to help you find strategies by subject
