INTERVENE: Instruction Lessons

INTERVENE solidifies comprehension with review and practice in six key reading strategies.

INTERVENE is a module designed:

• to help on-level readers who need repeated practice and reinforcement of targeted strategies
• for concentrated instruction
• to target individual reading skills
• to help struggling readers practise comprehending what they have read. The program focuses on the higher-order reading strategies that struggling readers need extensive help with.

These are:

• Understanding Main Idea and Details
• Understanding Sequence
• Recognising Cause and Effect
• Comparing and Contrasting
• Making Predictions
• Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences

If they have finished the IDENTIFY Pretests, a yellow exclamation mark will indicate recommended lessons based on those results.

Each strategy box shows how many lessons they have completed (out of 26 total for each strategy). Students click on the box to access the Table of Contents for each strategy.

INTERVENE Lesson Tables of Contents

The Table of Contents for each INTERVENE Strategy gives a complete overview of the strategy. The Reading Explorer offers concise and direct instruction, a handy strategy summary of important ideas, and a graphic organiser that represents the text structure specific to each reading strategy. Whereas, the Learning Preview includes a sample reading passage and two selected-response questions to show the student how INTERVENE will work. After every five Lessons, students complete a Self-reflection, as well as one Self-reflection after every lesson has been completed.

The Table of Contents page doesn’t have yellow exclamation marks to indicate recommended lessons, but lesson or self-reflection bubbles will turn green to indicate when they have been completed.

This Table of Contents also has a Learning Ladder (yellow button) so that students can see how they are progressing in a clear, visual form.

INTERVENE Lesson

Each of the Lessons contains the reading text and 5 questions. 4 of these are multiple choice, where the student selects their answer from 4 options. The fifth question asks the student to write their answer, and they type this in the box before clicking submit.

Students can move between the questions by clicking on the dots, or the “Previous” and “Next” buttons. They can also reset all their answers for the lesson by clicking on “Reset”.
