A method and system for identifying a set of students who have encountered
reading difficulty and are performing below grade level and intervening
to prevent illiteracy and achieving grade-level literacy of struggling
students. Standardized oral fluency assessments are administered for a
predetermined set of at least one student in a database in a computer
system. Results from the standardized oral fluency assessments are
recorded for each student of the predetermined set in a database in a
computer system. A standardized predictive measure of literacy is
calculated on the computer system for each student, wherein the
standardized predictive measure of literacy is a composite of the results
stored in the database for each student. Struggling members of the
predetermined set are identified based on each standardized predictive
measure of literacy. An individual report for each struggling member is
presented on a visual medium in communication with the computer system.
Struggling members of the predetermined set are provided with specific
individual recommendations of targeted intervention instruction and
amount of instructional time whereby grade-level literacy is achieved.
