- Possible educational assistant support
- Strategic Extended Time and Support (XTS)
Level 3: Intensive Interventions

- Individualized intensive intervention plan
- Intensive reading intervention
Just as a pyramid is larger at the base, our pyramid of interventions is wider at the bottom to represent the fact that the vast majority of our students find success at this level. The pyramid grows narrower as it reaches the top to represent that progressively fewer students need intensive, or specialized interventions.
