Reading and Math Intervention Strategies Flashcards

Which component of reading does phonemic awareness instruction target?

Answer: Hearing and manipulating individual sounds in spoken words

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds, an oral skill.

A student in math intervention solves procedures but cannot explain why they work. Which approach builds conceptual understanding?

Answer: Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) sequence

The CRA sequence moves from hands-on to pictures to symbols, building conceptual understanding.

Which is the most appropriate intervention for a student who reads accurately but does not retain what was read?

Answer: Teaching active comprehension strategies like summarizing and questioning

Active strategies such as summarizing and self-questioning improve retention and comprehension.

When selecting an evidence-based intervention, a teacher should prioritize one that is:

Answer: Supported by research and matched to the student's skill deficit

Interventions should be research-supported and aligned to the specific deficit.

A first grader reverses numbers and miscounts when adding. Which strategy best supports accurate computation?

Answer: Using a number line and ten-frames for visual support

Number lines and ten-frames give visual structure that supports accurate counting and addition.

Vocabulary instruction during reading intervention is most effective when words are:

Answer: Taught in context with multiple meaningful exposures

Multiple meaningful exposures in context build deep, durable vocabulary knowledge.

If a student shows no response after several weeks of a well-implemented Tier 2 intervention, the next step is to:

Answer: Intensify support or consider Tier 3 and possible evaluation

Nonresponse to a faithfully implemented Tier 2 intervention warrants intensification or Tier 3 consideration.
