Leveled Literacy Intervention - IntermediateBased on Work by Fountas and Pinnell Targeting Grades 3-5
The newly released Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) Red, Gold, and Purple systems are designed for students in grades 3, 4 and 5 who are reading below grade level. These systems may also be used to help students at higher grade levels who are reading below level W. Designed to bring students up to grade-level performance in as little as 18-24 weeks, LLI Intermediate Systems deliver powerful, research-based intervention geared specifically for intermediate students who are lagging behind their peers in literacy learning. The intervention is designed to take place in addition to classroom literacy instruction.
In this seminar, participants will receive three days of intensive training (two days of start-up training and one follow-up day) on the LLI Red, Gold, and Purple systems and will learn specific strategies to address the needs of struggling older readers. In addition to an overview of the components and implementation of new LLI Red, Gold, and Purple systems, this program delves in to the advanced routines needed for intermediate students. These routines include a focus on comprehension, vocabulary development, and fluency, as well as phonics and word study principles, book discussion formats, writing about reading routines, novel study units, test taking study, and silent reading.
This three-day training includes:• An introduction to the LLI Red, Gold, and Purple systems with special attention on what the research has shown
to be effective instruction for older, struggling readers.• Clear rationales for the instructional procedures in the LLI Red, Gold, and Purple systems–comprehension,
vocabulary development, fluency, phonics/word study, and writing about reading–and how they all contribute to the reader’s development of an effective processing system.
• Opportunities to observe, discuss, and practice using the lesson frameworks, instructional procedures, and resources in the LLI Red, Gold, and Purple systems.
• A focus on supporting students to develop strategic actions for processing text using a gradient of high quality fiction and nonfiction texts, written explicitly for the LLI Red, Gold, and Purple systems.
• Specific instruction on the assessment and record keeping in the LLI Red, Gold, and Purple systems that is crucial to inform teaching decisions and maximize effectiveness.
• An introduction to the Online Resources website for accessing materials and the LLI Data Management Website for recording, collecting, and analyzing data on student progress.
