As a TPT author, every year, there are a few resources that surprise me.
Sometimes it’s the shiny new thing I spent weeks creating. Sometimes it’s a resource that’s been sitting quietly in my store for years. And sometimes the products that rise to the top tell me more about what teachers need than they do about my store.
Reading comprehension intervention is still one of the biggest needs I see. Teachers aren’t just looking for comprehension questions. They’re looking for ways to teach comprehension.
Creating mental imagery
Building language comprehension
Inferencing
Making meaning from text
One of my favorite intervention resources.
No babyish clip art, age-respectful for older readers
Decoding + comprehension
Retelling, prediction, and inferencing
Fluency drills get painfully boring fast. Variety is key.
Word lists
Sentence pyramids
Riddles & Tongue Twisters
Reader’s Theater & Choral Reading
Mix it up with more variety and create opportunities for practice and reinforcement.
Teachers are busy. Nobody wants to cobble together 17 resources to build an intervention plan.

One simple question: Is the intervention working?
The resource students keep reaching for.
Visual phonics rules
Graphic cues
Think of it as a cheat sheet for struggling readers that empowers students to self-prompt during reading and writing, rather than always waiting for an adult to tell them what to try next.
Cut apart letters - Build Words - Discover Patterns - Hands-on Learning
Honestly, they feel like the student version of a NYT puzzle app.
One of the toughest gaps in intervention.
What do you use when a fifth grader or middle schooler needs CVC instruction?
The surprisingly hard-to-find resource that almost every reading interventionist needs.
Multiple skills on one page
Use as: Homework, Centers, Early Finishers, Review
One page. Multiple skills. Less prep. Less copying. High engagement.
Writing instruction is having a moment. Most resources ask students to write.
These teach students how.
Sentence building- Step-by-step sentence structure instruction
Paragraph structure instruction- Explicit support
Because struggling writers need more than a writing prompt.
Many struggling readers spend math instruction fighting their way through text they can’t read rather than solving the math.
These addition and subtraction word problem resources use primarily decodable text, so students can focus on mathematical thinking instead of getting tangled up in age-inappropriate decoding challenges.
Current topics include States of Matter and Color & Light, with additional science units on the way.
These high-interest, low-reading-level informational texts are designed for older struggling readers who deserve age-respectful content.
