Core

An instructional recommendation of “core” means that the odds are in your child’s favor of achieving later reading goals

with a continuing effective curriculum and instruction.

Strategic

An instructional recommendation of “strategic” means that the odds of achieving later reading goals are approximately

50% without added instructional support in addition to core reading instruction. If your child’s performance fell within this

category, he/she will likely require intervention in addition to core reading instruction. Small group instruction targeting

specific skills may be required. This intervention may be provided by your child’s classroom teacher and/or a reading

specialist.

Intensive

An instructional recommendation of “intensive” means that your child’s odds of achieving later reading goals are approxi-

mately 10-20% without substantial intervention and support in addition to core reading instruction. Your child will require

small group intensive intervention targeting specific skills. Your child is likely to receive small group intervention both in

the classroom as well as with a reading specialist.
