iPad for RTI

I'm lovin' my class iPad! (My wonderful husband bought an iPad for my class). Needless to say, I've been downloading apps like crazy.The first 30 minutes of the day I work on RTI. The iPad is a great tool for this.

 I found a couple apps  for fluency called One Minute Reader and K12 Timed Reading. The children practice all week to beat their time and do the last reading for me on Friday.

 Another way I'm using the iPad is for individual math practice or enrichment. Some students are working on multiplication zombies and some are on subtraction.

Students that need phonics can practice with the Phonics Tic-Tac-Toe.

I'm just getting started. I can't wait to try more. Do you have any tips for me about this? I'd love to hear more ideas.



Head over to Fourth Grade Flipper for Tried it Tuesday. I even downloaded the Spelling City App that she's talking about. :)

RTI and Post-Its

One of my many uses of post-its  in the classroom is to help students with attention issues.  I cut  a post-it note into four strips and put on the  student's desk as a visual for monitoring attention. This is especially important during math as we are learning new concepts and procedures. 

 

  I am sharing the behavior plan that  I created to go along with this. It also gives data for the RTI process. As with any behavior plan, the idea is to gradually decrease the support to the point the student is able to self-monitor. After  reaching the goal  for two weeks, I will decrease the strips to three, and then  two, etc. 

  My Fantastic Fridaycoupons are used as rewards for reaching the  goal .

 That's how I use Post-it notes as a RTI monitoring tool.
