Leveled Literacy Intervention

The Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) program uses a short-term, supplementary, small-group tutoring model to help struggling readers in grades K-2 reach grade level competency. Instruction is designed to be 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week to provide instructional support for phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension, oral language skills, and writing. Lessons are given between 16 and 18 weeks and are matched to a student’s reading ability through the Fountas & Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System (BAS). Lessons alternate between independent level texts which students can read without much difficulty and more challenging instructional level texts.
