Lessons learned from original residencies

RRIR and Response to Intervention (RTI)

Effective literacy instruction for all students reduces the number of students who need tiered intervention.

“RRIR explicitly demonstrates how to provide select and targeted intervention within daily reading and writing instruction. The resulting crucial impact is that implementation of RRIR reduces the number of children who need to go to intervention, Tier 2.”

—principal in Wisconsin

RRIR provides the Necessary Foundation for the Common Core State Standards

HOW we teach impacts what students achieve.

Student performance is elevated.
