Project MORE utilizes Response to Intervention (RtI) to identify and address reading difficulties early. RtI emphasizes a multi-tiered approach to instruction, aiming to provide targeted support before students fall behind. This initiative focuses on improving vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through high-quality teaching practices and family involvement. Key components include frequent assessments, immediate instructional responses, and the application of effective reading strategies. By leveraging resources like RAZ and explicit instruction, we strive to close achievement gaps, particularly for struggling and ELL students.
