There are several other objectives.... > Fulfills the Response to Intervention requirement for research-based tier I instruction > Students will increase their enthusiasm for reading. > Students will become 'metacognitive' and strategic readers (learners). > Teachers will find it easy to facilitate students' small group reading instruction using strength-based differentiated instructional strategies. > Students will learn how to use their MI-strengths to increase success in other academic subjects. > Communication with parents will be developed to guide parents support for their child's use of MI-inspired reading approaches.
