Develop an intervention plan to support your student’s literacy needs based on the data you gathered from the Case Study assessment.
The Intervention Program Paper should include the following sections in APA format:
Abstract – briefly summarize the paper. You can also include details from your Case Study.
Assessment – describe all of the assessments that were conducted with your student: the tests themselves, what they measure, and how your student performed. Based on these assessments, in what area(s) of reading (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics/decoding, fluency, comprehension) does your student require intervention?
Program Description – based on the assessment results and what you now know about effective literacy instruction and interventions, develop a reading intervention program for them. For the purposes of this assignment, you can assume unlimited time, resources, and access to the student. When writing this paper, you are proposing these interventions and do not have to implement them unless you choose to and have continued access to this student.
Rationale – Provide a rationale of how the intervention plan addresses the needs of the child and how/why decisions about the program were made.
Conclusion – Give a brief summary of the whole intervention plan. Then, provide specific suggestions for the parents, other teachers, and/or specialists about how they can help support the student in other settings (e.g., accommodations, modifications, scaffolds).
References – Excerpts from the required text and other sources should also be included throughout the paper with a references page at the end in APA format. Minimum of 8-10 resources cited throughout the paper – remember to cite your assessment materials and intervention resources.
