The What Works Clearinghouse has released a new practice guide focused on reading interventions for students in fourth through ninth grade. This guide includes four evidence-based and practical recommendations that were compiled by a panel of national experts. The recommendations include: Build decoding skill so students can read complex multisyllabic words. Provide purposeful fluency-building activities to help students read effortlessly. Routinely use a set of comprehension-building practices to help students make sense of the text.

Washington's Intensive Intervention Implementation Story To best support this work at the local level, state agency staff at OSPI undertook a year of internal skill-building work related to their personal knowledge related to intensive intervention in academics and behavior. Once a foundation was built, OSPI, NCII, and the Central Valley School District (CVSD) partnered to conduct a two-year (2018-2019 and 2019-2020) training series focused on implementation of data-based individualization (DBI) across the district. The training series began with CVSD district leaders coordinating with schools to construct teams of educators who would attend the training series. Teams from eight participating elementary schools included multidisciplinary staff representative of building principals, school psychologists, special education teachers, interventionists, reading specialists, and general education teachers.
