If a student shows no improvement after intensive instruction, what is the best next step?

When a student shows no improvement despite receiving intensive instruction, it is essential to reevaluate the effectiveness of the current intervention strategy. Intensifying the intervention can lead to better outcomes by tailoring the approach to better meet the student’s specific learning needs. This might involve increasing the frequency or duration of instruction, utilizing more engaging or supportive materials, or providing additional resources and support.

Making these changes allows educators to refine their strategies and adapt to the individual learner's profile, which is critical in effectively addressing dyslexia. This adaptive approach can lead to breakthroughs in the student's learning process, ultimately facilitating improvement.
