Key Questions & Answers

  • No. RTI (Response to Intervention) is not special education it’s early, targeted support to help your child succeed before a referral is needed. My goal is to ensure your child makes real progress in reading through research-based instruction tailored to their needs, so they can thrive in the general classroom with confidence.

  • RTI is temporary and meant to help your child make measurable progress. You should receive regular progress monitoring data, and it’s your right and responsibility to follow up. If progress is slow, a special education evaluation may be needed. I’m here to support you in tracking and advocating for your child every step of the way.

  • RTI is a structured, group-based system designed to identify why students struggle and provide tiered support:

    • Tier 1: General classroom instruction for all students

    • Tier 2: Small group interventions

    • Tier 3: Intensive support for students still struggling

    Even with RTI, your child may need individualized tutoring. My tutoring provides one-on-one instruction tailored to your child’s unique strengths and challenges ensuring they don’t fall behind in ways group interventions might miss. RTI gives support in a group; I give support built just for your child.

  • As a parent, your involvement is critical. You must follow up on progress, review intervention data, and reinforce strategies at home. Speak up if your child isn’t improving your voice matters. I will be by your side throughout the journey, guiding you, answering questions, and making sure your child gets the support they need to succeed.
