Brozo, W. (2009). Response to Intervention or Responsive Instruction? Challenges and possibilities of Response to Intervention for adolescent literacy. Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 53(4):277-281.
The author of this article basically talks about middle and high school students that are having difficulties with reading. Most of the students are in need of literacy support. The article gives many statistics letting us understand that earlier schoolings are not providing the students with the literacy skills they need for college, future jobs, and so on. Because of the students' being under the proficient level, schools are being pressured to find ways that will improve the students' reading skills. The article tells us about RTI, which means Response to Intervention. It involves three main concepts that are described throughout the text. It also talks about if the interventions are for each student and if they are really going to be effected or not. Towards the end, it is telling us that if the student's are still having difficulties with the reading after the interventions were brought forward, then the problem isn't with the interventions; assuming that it is while the child.
