HELPS:
Boost Students' Reading Fluency
With This Free Evidence-Based Program.
HELPS
(Helping Early Literacy with Practice
Strategies) is a free program that
targets student reading fluency
skills. HELPS was developed by Dr.
John Begeny of North Carolina
State University. The program is
an evidence-based intervention package
that includes the following effective
treatment components: adult modeling
of fluent reading, repeated reading
of passages by the student, phrase-drill
error correction, verbal cueing
and retell check to encourage student
reading comprehension, and reward
procedures to engage and encourage
the student reader. HELPS can be
used as an RTI intervention for
reading fluency at Tiers 1 through
3. Find out how you obtain your
free set of training and implementation
materials and how you can also
support the HELPS mission!

Direct Behavior Rating Forms.
Schools can download a Standard
Direct Behavior Rating Form (DBR)
from www.directbehaviorratings.com
to track students on RTI behavioral
interventions. The DBR form can
be used to collect baseline student
data and to monitor the progress
of students on behavioral interventions.
The form can even be used as part
of a student self-evaluation
intervention. The DBR form has
been shown to have good technical
adequacy (it is a valid and reliable
measure of student behavior over
time) and is free to schools!
Intervention
Video Demonstrations .
Your can review a series of demonstration
videos on the use of Curriculum-Based
Measurement and selected interventions.
These resources were created by
the Future of School Psychology
Conference Task Force on Academic
Outcomes (Dr.
