I'm hoping ...Thank you for replying so quickly! I'm hoping the FAQ answer and your answer here will help administration see this change needs to be made. However, I'm not hopeful for that since it was listed under the non-negotiable category. My next burning question, have you dealt with teachers not buying in to the workshop model? How do you handle this, or convince them that it's best? There are a few who still want to teach whole class style in a block schedule. I've been pouring over your blog the last few days! I'm counting it as a "finished book" when I've read them all.

We have now been using LLI at my school...Hi Carly,<br /><br />We have now been using LLI at my school for four school years. We now have the purple and teal systems as well, which are perfect for middle school students. Our school is also on our third year with a 40-minute intervention/extension period held at the beginning of the day. Aside from students who work with our Reading Interventionist across the day who have pretty severe reading deficits, all students are serviced during the universal intervention time built into our schedule. My honest feedback is that it is never a good idea to pull students out of core instruction to receive an intervention in that same subject area. The point of an intervention is so that students receive the core instruction and an intervention that complements the core is layered on top of that. LLI is an amazing intervention program, but it is essentially guided reading amped up with all of the different texts and elements built in for the teacher. Students should be receiving guided reading, literature study, and independent reading from Reading Workshop during ELA class so that their reading intervention deepens what they're already doing. I think your school is on the right track to question this method and re-visit your schedule to find a better way to service your students. I will definitely have to write a follow-up post on LLI this summer.middleschoolteachertoliteracycoachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723130657428914024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528270180049100451.post-77060163287938952522017-05-11T11:38:16.938-07:002017-05-11T11:38:16.938-07:00Is there a follow up blog to this post? How is it ...Is there a follow up blog to this post? How is it going at your middle school with the new program? We are using LLI, however, kids are being pulled from our ELA classes to receive the intervention. We have SGIs (small group instructors) hired to execute the program, but we also have a 25 minute, end-of-day intervention period built into our schedule where LLI is not taking place. A meeting to see how we can arrange the schedule for next year is taking place next week and I was hoping to hear your feedback on this topic. Thanks in advance and I'm thrilled to have stumbled upon your blog : )Carly Blacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528270180049100451.post-87714856792182903262013-03-27T20:27:58.963-07:002013-03-27T20:27:58.963-07:00How exciting to meet Fountas and Pinnell!
