Response to Intervention
Jamestown Reading Navigator meets the criteria for the Response to Intervention (RTI) model.
Response to Intervention (RTI) provides a three-tiered model of prevention across all students. Students are monitored in order to quickly identify struggling students and provide scientifically-based, high-quality instruction and progress monitoring to quickly bring them up to grade level.
Scientifically-Based, High Quality Instruction
Jamestown Reading Navigator is based on the latest research in adolescent literacy and is the first reading intervention program built specifically for adolescent readers. For more information, please review our foundational research documents.
Assessment
Initial and ongoing assessments identify specific skill deficits that require intervention.
Targeted Intervention
Students receive direct, explicit instruction, modeling, practice, and reteaching (if necessary) in order to quickly improve their reading skills.
Progress Monitoring
Ongoing assessments and a comprehensive reporting system allow teachers to closely monitor each student's progress on specific skills.
Professional Development
Reading Coaches, expert reading consultants who are assigned to each school and district, provide initial and ongoing training to improve intervention skills. Online professional development modules are included free with all purchases.
