Engage in Leveled Literacy Intervention Training at Lesley University
Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) is designed to close the achievement gap and bring every student to grade level performance. Leveled Literacy Intervention can be
paired with Reading Recovery, a one-to-one literacy intervention for the lowest-achieving first-graders, to provide an enhanced system to ensure
literacy success in the early years of schooling and an additional
safety net for struggling readers and writers.
We offer two types of Leveled Literacy Intervention training for teachers, one for educators who work with students in grades K–2 and a new class for intermediate educators, grades 3–5.
Leveled Literacy Intervention, Grades K–2
During six days of professional development, you are introduced
to this supplementary intervention system designed to help teachers provide
powerful, daily small-group instruction for struggling readers and writers. Students participate in 30-minute, intensive lessons five days per week
that combine reading, writing, and phonics/word study. Leveled Literacy Intervention for grades K–2 uses a
specially-created and sequenced set of original children's books,
leveled A–N. Teachers use planned lessons that enable them to do highly
effective and efficient teaching, resulting in accelerated student
progress.
Teachers
wishing to be a part of the Leveled Literacy Intervention Training for grades K–2 must be able to work with at least one group of three students, five days a week, for 18 weeks, as well as attend all six days of training.

Leveled Literacy Intervention For the Intermediate Grades (Grades 3–5)
Using the LLI Red System (grade 3) as an example, this new professional development training will provide you with an introduction to an effective literacy intervention for struggling readers in the intermediate grades. Based on the essential elements of effective interventions for older students as described in the effectiveness research, Leveled Literacy Intervention provides a systematic instructional design that helps intermediate students make accelerated progress to meet grade level expectations. In this six-day training, you will learn rationales and procedures for high-impact lessons that engage students' attention and thinking and help them read increasingly challenging text levels successfully. Three types of lessons — standard, novel, and test preparation — are used at each level to help students improve comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and word solving strategies.
Teachers
wishing to be a part of the Leveled Literacy Intervention Training For the Intermediate Grades (Grades 3–5) must be able to work with at
least one group of four students, five days a week, for 20–24 weeks, as well as attend all six days of training.
