START-IN® Complete Kit

START-11

START-IN (Students Are Responding To Intervention), developed by Drs. Judy Montgomery and Barbara J. Moore, is a nine-week, 45-hour, small-group (1-5 students), evidence-based program for struggling readers in elementary grades (preferably grades 3-8).

This Response to Intervention Program consists of 16 Tasks that address the five building blocks of reading according to National Reading Panel (NRP) - Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Text Comprehension. Students with reading difficulties complete the 16 tasks in one hour sessions, five days a week, using reading materials from their classroom or library. Field tested for three years in urban schools, START-IN reduces unnecessary or inappropriate referrals to special education.

The 112-page START-IN book explains the eight steps to begin the program, the research behind the tasks, detailed instructions for completing the tasks, and how to measure student responsiveness.

START-IN:

• Uses only research-based strategies.

• Teaches rather than tests.

• Is ideal for underperforming schools.

• Helps students avoid unnecessary labels.

• Encourages collaboration between Speech-Language Pathologists, Special Education and Resource Teachers, and Reading Specialists.

• Meets IDEA 2004 provisions to assess a student's responsiveness to intervention before referral for special education assessment.

• Includes all activity sheets, data collection forms, parent permission, and administrator checklists in the book and on the CD-ROM.

The START-IN program requires the use of a Story Grammar Marker® for a story retell activity (see below).

START-IN gives you the option of purchasing the Materials Kit that has all the other items you need to implement the program. START-IN also has directions on how to make your own kit.
