A teacher notices a student consistently performs below peers in reading despite targeted intervention for 8 weeks. According to the Response to Intervention (RTI) model, the appropriate next step is:

Retain the student

Move to more intensive, individualized intervention and consider formal evaluation

Wait another full academic year to see if the student catches up

Refer directly to special education without further data

Case Scenario:
Priya, age 6, knows her letter names but struggles to associate letters with sounds. She has difficulty rhyming and segmenting words into sounds. Her verbal vocabulary is strong.
Based on this information:

What type of early screening tool would be most appropriate?
Name one evidence-based early intervention focus for Priya.
