Tier II Interventions
The Ell program has undergone many
changes this year with a new curriculum
and a new intervention process. Ell
students that are in the lower 25
percentile in their classes are being
serviced for a half hour each day
outside their classroom.
Ell students are working on the same
skills that they are learning during their
reading time in their classroom. Each
week students receive extra support for
learning their vocabulary words,
grammar lessons, and comprehension
skills. Our new curriculum is called
Harcourt Storytown. The website below
has information about Storytown.
Also the following website has great
reading activities for students.

Welcome To a New Year
Welcome to a new year at Carrie Downie Elementary School! This year’s Ell students will be serviced according to their needs. The Colonial School District will be using the Response to Intervention model to servicing students. According to the model, all students will be tested once per marking period. Upon review of the test results, students will be placed into one of three tiers. If they are not found to have any reading discrepancies, they will stay in their classrooms.
Students that have a reading discrepancy will receive additional support within their classrooms during their English Language Arts time. This is referred to as Tier II intervention support. Additional support will be delivered by another teacher within a small group.
If they are still struggling, then additional support outside the classroom is needed. This is referred to as Tier III intervention support. Students will be given services in a separate classroom in addition to their English Language Arts time.
