We help classroom teachers supplement literacy instruction

“It's the only resource that gives well-rounded intervention and literacy instruction. You can find so many things for phonological awareness and phonics, but it is harder to find programs that address vocabulary, syntax, comprehension, writing, etc. I love having it all in one place to access!”

— Meredith L.

We help SLPs tie literacy into their sessions with ease

“As a speech-language pathologist and learning specialist, I cannot begin to tell you how much I have benefited from this program. I have completed a range of reading programs, and SMARTER Intervention has helped me reflect on what I know and has taught me so much more.”

How do the program assessments work?
How do the program assessments work?

There are three progress monitoring assessments built directly into the program for each level. Assessments can be provided at baseline (beginning of year), midpoint (midyear), and final (end of year). The assessments are optional but are a great tool specifically for Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction. 

<br>

These assessments provide information regarding student performance in phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, reading fluency, comprehension, and writing skills.

<br>

There are two options for assessment delivery (individual - open ended response format; group - multiple choice format). These assessments are optional. If you already have a tool you use to monitor student progress, that data can easily be incorporated into lesson differentiation as well.

How do I know which level to start with?
How do I know which level to start with?

A placement guide is available that provides a decision tree and placement screener to help understand which level to place students.

<br>

For Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction, it is important that students be placed based on ability/skill level.

<br>

For general education classroom instruction, we typically recommend correlating the program level with the students’ grade level. For students without previous structured literacy exposure, it will be important to continue to provide direct and explicit systematic review of concepts.
