Synopsis

Children's needs differ so vastly that a single program designed to support numerous students can only do so much. More than anything else, your students need you to use your professional expertise to unravel their needs and to plan instruction that is directly responsive. --Gretchen Owocki

The RTI Daily Planning Book, K-6 makes exemplary RTI possible in every reading classroom.

Gretchen Owocki (author of Comprehension) gives you clear-cut directions and specific tools and strategies for RTI that are sensible and developmentally sensitive. She breaks the process down to its essentials:

Collecting & Assessing Reading Data

• Gretchen's research-based framework shows exactly what to assess and how
• reproducible rubrics, data charts, and class checklists for ongoing assessment, gauge readers' progress and point toward follow-ups

Targeted Follow-Up Instruction

• streamlined strategies linked to assessments by if-then strands help you meet wide-ranging needs efficiently
• ideas for grouping that increase your instructional flexibility and help you avoid unnecessary interruptions.

Gretchen's authentic reading assessments give you the truest-possible sense of your readers' abilities and open up opportunities for differentiation. She follows these with suggestions for planning and organizing Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction to meet all readers' needs during the day.

RTI doesn't have to be complicated. "The success of RTI depends simply on teachers engaging in thoughtful assessment that leads to thoughtful instruction," writes Gretchen Owocki. "But teachers have to be ready--really ready." Get ready with The RTI Daily Planning Book, K-6 and let it make RTI focused and effective.

About this title

About the Author

Gretchen Owocki powerfully demonstrates the importance of bringing meaningful instruction to not only traditional reading-instruction topics like comprehension, but also to contemporary issues such as Common Core and RTI. In the bestselling titles The Common Core Writing Book, 6-8; The Common Core Reading Book, 6-8; The Common Core Lesson Book, K-5; The Common Core Writing Book, K-5; and The RTI Daily Planning Book, she masterfully breaks down instructional issues and strategies into manageable chunks that help teachers differentiate instruction, meet curricular goals, and improve as practitioners.

For more than 15 years, she has helped teachers find researched-based practices that improve learning by letting students experience curriculum as part of their own development. In other Heinemann titles such as Comprehension; Make Way for Literacy; and Time for Literacy Centers, she shares teaching that engages students through authentic, meaningful tasks and challenges them to grow as readers and writers. A professor at Saginaw Valley State University, Gretchen is a Heinemann Professional Development Services provider.
