Do You Have Struggling Readers? Use These 5 Strategies to Boost Literacy Intervention Success in Your School

Improve literacy outcomes for Ohio students with these proven strategies.

In Ohio, 65% of fourth grade students are struggling to read at grade level, but early intervention can help turn that around. Our 5 Strategies to Boost Literacy Intervention Success Checklist provides essential guidance for school and district leaders to identify struggling readers and implement effective support strategies.

Whether you’re just starting with early interventions or looking to strengthen your current efforts, this checklist will empower your team to:

1. Identify struggling students early: Early identification allows schools to screen all students and spot those who need extra help, ensuring no child slips through the cracks.
2. Choose intervention tools that work: An adaptive program aligned with the science of reading that is approved by the Ohio Department of Education for both intervention and supplemental instruction will provide personalized support at all reading levels.
3. Prepare teachers for success: Teachers need ongoing professional development to deliver targeted, research-based interventions. Educators must be equipped with effective training and resources to address diverse student needs.
4. Use real-time data to monitor progress: Tracking student progress is essential to adjust instruction on the fly. Real-time data helps teachers make informed decisions and respond quickly when students are struggling.
5. Support students with dyslexia and other challenges: Following best practices for dyslexia and implementing multi-tiered strategies (e.g., MTSS, RTI) can help address a wide range of learning needs.

By focusing on these five key areas, your school will be equipped to close literacy gaps and significantly improve reading outcomes for students across Ohio. Ready to make a difference?
