The 3-Tier Reading Model book, has given me more insight and some additional understanding into the three-tier model. We have been able to get our feet wet with the implementation of Tier 1 (Core Classroom Instruction). We have been able to do this by using learning stations for leveled reading groups and by assessing our students more. Once the students' targeted skills and needs are determined, we will use this information and data to place students in the Tier-2 (intervention groups). Students in this group will receive additional time with the Title I teacher or whomever is helping with the interventions. Finally, at Tier-3, students will receive an even greater amount of time on interventions. I believe this is going to be a challenging task in order make a difference in the everyday learning of our students. This model may cause us to change the ways we instruct our students, however, we will hopefully see some positive results once we have seen all of the components of the 3-Tier model in use. One concern I have about this 3-tier model, is having the personnel to implement and use these tiers effectively. It is difficult in a small school because you don't have as many people to work with on an on-going basis. Time and personnel are two concerns I have about the 3-tier model.

The book study helped me remember some of the fine details that I had forgotten since the summer sessions in Huntington. I think that this book will be really useful when we do it with our entire staff. It will address many of the questions that teachers have. I see it as a valuable piece in the implenentation of the three tier reading model.
