Literacy Intervention

At Flatirons, we are committed to providing all students with comprehensive, universal literacy instruction and targeted intervention in the classroom. As a whole school, we strive for all students to achieve typical growth and beyond. Students who need additional support may be referred to our interventionist, who provides targeted small-group instruction. Classroom teachers and our literacy interventionist collaborate to review assessment data and student needs. Literacy intervention is designed to complement the classroom learning experience. 
 
Within these small instructional groups, students work with our trained literacy interventionist, receiving instruction targeted to their specific goals. Literacy intervention groups utilize BVSD-approved interventions, such as the Orton-Gillingham (OG) instructional approach, developed by the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE). These approaches teach literacy in direct, explicit, structured, sequential, and multisensory ways, which have consistently proven to be effective in supporting struggling readers. 
Our Literacy Interventionists are not only dedicated to their professional growth but also committed to delivering research-based instruction, as detailed in the BVSD Literacy webpage.
