START-IN® - STudents Are Responding To INtervention
START-IN (Students Are Responding To Intervention), developed by Drs. Judy Montgomery and Barbara J. Moore, is a nine-week, 45-hour, small-group (1–5 students), evidence-based program for struggling readers in elementary grades (preferably grades 3–8).
This Response to Intervention Program consists of 16 Tasks that address the five building blocks of reading according to National Reading Panel (NRP) – Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Text Comprehension. Students with reading difficulties complete the 16 tasks in one hour sessions, five days a week, using reading materials from their classroom or library. Field tested for three years in urban schools, START-IN reduces unnecessary or inappropriate referrals to special education.
The 112-page START-IN book explains the eight steps to begin the program, the research behind the tasks, detailed instructions for completing the tasks, and how to measure student responsiveness.
START-IN:
Uses only research-based strategies.
Teaches rather than tests.
Is ideal for underperforming schools.
Helps students avoid unnecessary labels.
Encourages collaboration between Speech-Language Pathologists, Special Education and Resource Teachers, and Reading Specialists.
Meets IDEA 2004 provisions to assess a student's responsiveness to intervention before referral for special education assessment.
Includes all activity sheets, data collection forms, parent permission, and administrator checklists in the book and on the CD-ROM.
START-IN Complete Kit includes the Program Book with CD-ROM for printing all forms and student activity pages, Materials Kit, a Story Grammar Marker, and 100 START-IN Lesson Plans.
START-IN Materials Kit:
5 MagneTalk personal word walls
440 magnetic word cards
7 new word pouches
7 retired word pouches
7 sight word pouches
310 letter tiles
7 plastic word baggies
300 index cards and timer

100 START-IN Lesson Plans:

I have used this product in the past and there are so many activities to use with the kids that promote vocabulary, reading, language etc. My main issue is that more than half of the materials in the kit are things you can buy yourself or likely even already have (e.g. various sized index cards, wet-erase markers, etc.). It seems like they could cut out a lot of that fluff and reduce the price.

The Story Grammar Marker is a great way for a student to visualize how to put a story together. I use this tool in my lesson plans when I have the students write their own stories.

I couldn't ask for better service. Both the catalog and the online product arrangement are easy to navigate. The variety of products is endless, and all that I have used have been great! The products that you have made available to help specifically with RtI are very easy to use and get the job done with very little planning involved. Thanks Super Duper!
