Based on her reading level, I assume that her other mistakes were careless: reading 'must' as 'most', and adding in 's' or 'ed' where there should not have been.

Mary started to read Level 1 word list. However, as she was at independent level, she was moved up a grade level, to level 2 word list.

Students are given excellent instruction to rule out the possibility of bad instruction causing students to be lacking in knowledge. Students are screened to see their progress. This goes on for a certain period of time, usually about 8 weeks. If students are not up to par, they are moved to tier 2. In tier 2, students receive instruction based on their needs. It can be done in different group sizes and different frequencies. This step usually lasts about 8 weeks. At the end of the time, if the students did not make enough progress, they are moved to teir 3. Tier 3 is the most intense tier of RTI. Students receive individualized instruction. Students can be evaluated fo...
