Evidence-based Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) offers a structured, sequential, and systematic approach to working with small groups of children who need additional support in reading. LLI has proven success with children in grades K-2, including those with special educational needs and multilingual learners, making it ideal for use as part of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), summer learning programs, and other tutoring initiatives.
LLI is designed to teach children to coordinate all facets of literacy. All lessons include explicit, systematic phonics instruction while also strengthening fluency, comprehension, and writing abilities. Original, high-quality texts created specifically for LLI to engage and motivate young readers while providing rich opportunities for authentic literacy learning.
