Interventions targeting secondary students’ reading comprehension are very effective. However, time must be spent ensuring skills and knowledge can be translated to a range of contexts – for example, by embedding Tier 2 interventions in subject‑specific curriculum to address gaps in subject knowledge, vocabulary and familiarity with the way information is expressed in the subject.
This practice resource provides an example of how a teacher could plan and implement Tier 2 assessment and intervention for Year 7 Humanities and Social Sciences: Civics and Citizenship, based on the Australian Curriculum. It’s a supporting resource in a series of guidance created in partnership with the Dyslexia‑SPELD Foundation (DSF).
