What is LLI?

Leveled Literacy Intervention, or, LLI, is a small group, supplementary intervention designed for children who find reading and writing difficult. The goal of the intervention is to bring the children to grade level achievement.

LLI is a literacy intervention. Through systematically designed lessons, we support learning in both reading and writing. We help children expand their knowledge of words and how they work. Over a span of two lessons, the child reads several books, writes about reading, and receives explicit teaching in phonics.

LLI is an early intervention. When you intervene early, the chances of closing the gap between below-level and on-level performance are far greater. Before the child falls behind and develops poor self-esteem, we can help her get back on track and benefit fully from the reading and writing instruction that is being provided by the classroom teacher.
