Prevention is the best intervention. An RTI system that includes collective responsibility, concentrated instruction, and convergent assessment can transform schooling at all grade levels, but such a system is rarely applied in the early grades. Schools that implement RTI in kindergarten through third grade can close the gap and prevent student learning difficulties from ever developing. RTI in the Early Grades: Intervention Strategies for Mathematics, Literacy, Behavior, & Fine-Motor Skills addresses the importance of early prevention and intervention. Author Chris Weber shows educators how to use RTI-based supports in the early grades by providing best practices in reading, writing, and mathematics instruction that incorporate the Common Core State Standards and key research findings and policy recommendations. Teachers and other practitioners will also learn best practices for English learners and for supporting students¿ social, behavioral, language, and fine-motor skills.
