I am a Title I reading teacher in a small rural/suburban district. We try to schedule intervention outside of the students' reading blocks so that the Title I intervention is in addition to their regular, daily reading instruction. When I first started in this job, the reading teachers were doing mostly push-in but it looked kind of like what I call a "hover" model in which too many adults hovered around children and "supported" them. What ended up happening was that the kids seemed to develop more learned helplessness. I felt kind of uncool when I started pulling out more. I schedule it so each group goes at a different time each day of the week so that kids don't miss a subject lesson in their class more than once a week. I also create my groups based on need rather than by whose class they're in. I might have students from three different classes at one time because they all need phon. aw. or they might need comprehension, etc. It's not perfect but we're getting pretty good results.

I am a Title I reading specialist who has never done "push in" ut always "pull out". Knowing our administration, there won't be a lot of irection as far as scheduling and implementation. I serve K-5. Any uggestions for what will really work? We will not have planning time with he teachers; that is a main concern along with scheduling since most have heir literacy block in the morning. I'm afraid that it will be a three ing circus with special ed and Title I going on at the same time as the egular classroom instruction. - anel Atwell ______________________________________________ osaic mailing list os...@literacyworkshop.org o unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to ttp://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
