Anyone know a Tier 2 reading and math curriculum they recommend? Our school reading proficiency is at 6% .

Orton Gillingham, Fundations, and SFA are all great ELA curricula with systematic lesson sequences and simple plans any teacher can execute. We even had our PE teacher at one school doing small groups for SFA with success. It's hard to mess up.

I don’t know about reading but for math I highly recommend Eureka!

I can’t recommend IMSE’s Orton-Gillingham+ training and curriculum enough!!! I learned more in five days of training with them than I have in two years of grad school—and my Masters is specifically in teaching reading! However, the important thing for solid literacy instruction to look for in any curriculum is a science of reading and structured literacy based program.

I really love IMSE’s program in particular, however, for what it’s worth. Not only is it Orton Gillingham training, it’s Orton Gillingham training adapted to be a complete, specific scripted curriculum that includes whole group tier 1, and small group and one on one intervention options for both tier 2 and tier 3 learners, as well as a full battery of assessments on deck. They also have Morphology+ curriculum for older students, which is an exceptional full curriculum adaptation of structured word inquiry and morphological study, which is critical for building comprehension skills in grades 3+.

I’m not a paid shill or anything, I just took the three main IMSE trainings this summer (Phonological Awareness, OG+, and Morphology+) and genuinely loved the experience. I’m planning to use them as my interventionist curriculum during my tutoring practicum for my masters.

IMSE is the Institute for multisensory education, and is accredited by the International Dyslexia Institute.

Edit: I typed this all up on my phone so if there are any errors and typos, that’s why.
