Students need proficient literacy skills if they are to be successful in school and in life. Students typically master foundational literacy skills in the primary grades, and their abilities continue to develop throughout middle and high school as they encounter increasingly difficult academic work. Unfortunately, a substantial percentage of students move from elementary to middle school without proficient literacy skills. When students are working below grade level, educators oftentimes "intervene" or provide an "intervention" in order to accelerate the growth of students so they can catch up with their peers. In the context of this Dissertation in Practice, the term "intervention" refers to the instruction provided for students who do not have proficient literacy skills. While there is a growing knowledge base of best practices in literacy instruction, schools have a large degree of discretion in how they organize their literacy and reading approaches. This study examines the literacy intervention programs at three middle schools with high populations of students scoring below "satisfactory" on the state assessment provided at a large suburban school district in Florida. The study explores how these intervention programs, which included instruction in intensive reading courses and in other instructional opportunities during and beyond the school day, were implemented, the challenges of providing them, and the differences in implementation across the three schools. This is a multi-level comparative case study with data collected through interviews with assistant principals in charge of curriculum, literacy coaches (known as instructional coaches at the schools), intensive reading teachers, and English teachers at each of the three schools. I analyzed this data, along with documents related to the literacy interventions provided, to gain a clear and comprehensive picture of literacy intervention programs at the schools. In addition, I conducted a cross-case analysis to ascertain the similarities and differences in implementation. This study found that while the schools approached their literacy intervention programs differently, they all provided intervention to students scoring at Level 1 and Level 2 on the FSA in an intensive reading class using the purchased i-Ready curriculum or Corrective Reading, facilitated primarily by second-career teachers. Teachers reported that students were largely disengaged and discouraged. Although there was some support for intensive reading students in the form of tutoring or other opportunities for additional instruction, there was no collaboration between English teachers and intensive reading teachers in an effort to align support for students at any of the three participating schools. The implications of this study are relevant for district policymakers and for practitioners. District policymakers make decisions regarding the content and implementation of the literacy intervention program at the schools in their district, and practitioners at the school level carry out those policies. Given the fact that teachers adamantly voiced their frustration regarding the lack of student motivation and engagement, district leaders may consider examining the instruction in the intensive reading class to see if they can make improvements. At the practitioner level, school administrators, coaches, and teachers may wish to prioritize student motivation and engagement strategies, especially since COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial change in the way they deliver instruction. It is important that the district and schools participating in this study take steps to examine their literacy intervention programs so that students receive strong and engaging instruction that leads to improvement in their literacy skills.

No two students in grades 4–8 are identical, and many struggle with literacy for different reasons. Using a teacher-friendly, hands-on approach, this eminently practical book walks educators through the nuts and bolts of literacy intervention in the middle grades. Highlights include “North Star” principles to orient instruction, an assessment flowchart, and extended case studies of three middle-grades learners. The book offers evidence-based intervention practices for targeting specific literacy components, including word recognition, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Teachers are guided to plan structured but flexible interventions that promote literacy growth and engagement. Sample lesson plans and clear, engaging figures illustrate how to make literacy intervention work for all students.

This study suggests that struggling middle-school readers could be better supported if teachers integrated explicit reading strategies into their subject area teaching, created supportive classroom environments conducive to reading conversations, and discreetly created opportunities to help students individually. Middle-school curriculum needs to include more variety of reading materials and resources on the same content at multiple reading levels so that all readers can be included in the learning conversation. Finally, this research calls for policy makers and administrators to create a vision for middle-school literacy development that goes beyond the proficiency measurements of standardized testing. There is a need to create reading intervention programs, as well as school-wide literacy initiatives, to support middle-school students' reading development in a way that is congruent with fostering reading for understanding.

This dissertation evaluated Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) for middle school students identified as struggling readers. This program evaluation utilized the CIPP model to determine the LLI context, input, process, and product. Although interventions are provided in primary grades, reading deficits for adolescent readers have not diminished. The data to indicate successful programs in response to the problem pale in comparison. From this deficit, a responsibility to evaluate interventions that assert to address the problem exists. The LLI implementation, spring 2016, was to improve reading and comprehension of middle school students. Participants in this study were the district instructional specialist; district reading interventionists; and sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students identified by district testing and the Fountas and Pinnell (2010) Benchmark Assessment System. Data for this study were collected from student assessment data, interviews, a focus group, observations, and self-assessment surveys. Findings from this study indicate that while not all middle school students receiving LLI as a tier 2 intervention saw an increase in their instructional reading levels, more students made gains than did not; many students met the district’s reading goal. Despite this success, in its current implementation, only a small population of students receive LLI. Implications of this study include more support for classroom teachers to provide tier 2 interventions, implementing LLI as a tier 3 intervention, evaluating MAP as a screening tool for intervention, consistency among schools and the role of the reading interventionist, and professional development utilizing a modified implementation schedule.

"In this book, structured literacy is conceptualized as an umbrella term encompassing a variety of intervention methods, instructional approaches, and commercial programs. In addition to focusing on SL approaches to intervention, this book is organized around common poor reader profiles that have been identified in research. The chapters in this volume are written by experts who are well known as researchers but who are also highly skilled at writing for practitioners. Chapters were written with a strong foundation of research that is summarized, but with a concentration on translating research into practice, including case studies, sample intervention activities, and lesson plans. Each chapter includes application activities at the end to check for and extend readers' understanding"--
