Screening for Reading Problems

When RTI is implemented with fidelity in the early grades, the anticipated outcome is that students who are struggling readers will be identified early and provided intervention. Even with an effective RTI process in place in Grades K–3, however, there will continue to be students in the later grades who require intervention to support their reading development. For schools, this means that a system for screening to identify struggling readers needs to continue beyond the early elementary grades into the middle and high school grades. This article provides information about measures that can be used to identify students at risk for reading problems in Grades 4–12. Before reviewing these measures, however, it is important to first consider the nature of reading instruction at the secondary level and the characteristics of students who struggle with reading.
