Today, I’m sharing all about Response to Intervention for Articulation. After making nearly 400 products for SLPs, I’ve spent months creating something just for teachers. I took special care to make something that was written in plain language, with a full set of materials, that works in real life. I’m so excited to have posted it in my TpT shop! It’s something I’m really proud of!
Response to Intervention Articulation.
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tier educational approach aimed at early identification and support of students whose learning needs are not being met. It involves “the practice of providing high-quality instruction and interventions matched to student need, monitoring progress frequently to make decisions about changes in instruction or goals, and applying child response data to important educating decisions.” (Batsche et al., 2005) Students with communication impairments, much like other academic content areas, require Response to Intervention services provided by the classroom teacher.

Most children will naturally learn to say all the sounds in the English phonetic inventory without direct instruction. This is Tier I of the RtI triangle. Tier II is the 20% of students who need additional instruction. Teachers can implement articulation instruction in Tier II supports in the classroom or small group. Through progress monitoring and evidence-based instruction, you can determine if the interventions are successful. Successful documentation of Tier II interventions is a great way to identify which students need more intensive (Tier III) support through a speech-language pathologist.

To qualify for special education services, students was demonstrate two things. First, educational impact (checklists included to document academic and social impact). Second, lack of response to interventions or ongoing need for significant interventions. This packet helps you prove both with data. If you take a concern to your special education team and have data to prove a student isn’t progressing with your help, you have documented the need for specialized instruction from a speech-language pathologist.
A Teacher’s Toolkit for Response to Intervention: Articulation
Every time a teacher needed support, I had to make up a packet of resources, sit down and teach the teacher the strategies, and then make a data sheet. Insert, light bulb moment. If I could just make a system, it might take more work initially, but eventually teachers could work more independently. This packet is created to help teachers implement support for a student with an articulation delay in the classroom. You don’t have to know anything about speech therapy to do interventions with your student with this binder. I’m going to lead you, step by step, with teacher scripts and student worksheets, through an RtI program for your student.

This packet is 65 pages in length giving you a lot of support. The best part is, even if you don’t have time to read and develop an RtI program for your student, you can download and immediately start using the Sound Eliciting Teacher Scripts. They tell you exactly what to say to your student to help him/her say each sound.

I Periscoped tonight and shared some thoughts on RtI and a peek at the packet.
You can download the packet in my TpT Shop! If you’ve used something similar, I’d love to hear about it!
