Free Resources???

[Theresa Cyr]

We've noticed that most websites offered cost $$ for supplies, and it seems that all RTI resources cost money, and lots of it.  Our district, as well as many others we assume, are going through budget cuts.

 

Are there any free resources for RTI, i.e. assessment tools, tracking tools, organization tools, screening, etc.???  Any information would be greatly appreciated coming from a school who's trying to implement RTI for the first time this year.

 

Thanks in advance!!

This is a good question and there are some free resources. We have a number of assessment resources on the SMART site at:

 

http://usm.maine.edu/smart/assessment.html

 

On that list everything except AIMSweb has free material. For instruciton some sites that have free stuff are:

 

Intervention Central

Free Reading

Florida Center for Reading Research

 

One way I have found free resources is to look on sites for home schooling parents. Some sites are terrible but others are pretty good.
