Response to Intervention: Providing Reading Intervention to Low Income and Minority Students

Abstract

With a renewed focus on early intervention, teachers must address the difficulties students are having as early as possible to promote their progress. Culturally and linguistically diverse students may not respond to universal interventions that have shown efficiency for mainstream populations. In order for Response to Intervention to be effective, we need to include diverse populations when researching all tiers of instruction.

Key words::

• cultural diversity
• diversity
• linguistic diversity
• tiers of instruction
