ALT First step is to collect data on the early reading proficiency of all k through 3 students through the administration of a universal screening assessment. Data are used to determine the extent to which core reading instruction is enabling students to meet benchmark expectations, & to identify which students may benefit from additional intervention supports to close skill gaps. In Tier 1, ongoing curriculum-embedded assessment data are collected & analyzed in order to inform differentiation & adjustment to core needs. Tier 1 implementation is also monitored to ensure instruction is being delivered with fidelity. For students who did not reach benchmark expectations on universal screening early reading indicators, diagnostic skill inventories are administered to determine which specific skills to target for intervention. With this data, interventions are planned & implemented. Ongoing progress monitoring is administered to determine student progress towards goals.
