How to Use Reading A-Z for Response to Intervention

- Covering 29 levels of difficulty spanning grades Pre-K to 6 readability, Reading A-Z helps you differentiate instruction with resources such as lesson plans, Reader's Theater Scripts, activity sheets, high-frequency words activities, assessments, fluency passages for timed readings, correlations to state standards, and more.

3) Motivation — Have students choose Books for you to print and allow them to keep the books for repeated practice. Use our printable Student Reward & Incentives to help build students' confidence and help ensure students make progress.
4) Practice — Use tools such as Projectables for the whole class instruction and printed resources for individual students to ensure access to materials for practice.
5) Assessment — Assess students using our variety of assessment resources, including Benchmark Books & Running Records, Leveled Book comprehension quizzes, and other tools that measure foundational skills or track comprehension and reading rate.
