• The 5 areas that we need to consider when creating an effective school literacy system

1. Curriculum and instruction that use evidence-based practices

2.  Early screening of all students

3. Reading interventions that are early, evidence-based, intensive, and systematic

4. Accommodations (which are not used as a substitute for teaching students to read)

5. Professional assessments (which are timely and based on clear, transparent, written criteria that focus on the student’s response to intervention)
