3. What is LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention)
The Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention is a powerful, short-term intervention, that provides daily, intensive, small-group instruction, which supplements classroom literacy teaching. LLI turns struggling readers into successful readers with engaging leveled books and fast- paced, systematically designed lessons.
Have participants read silently, then popcorn out the KEY words that stuck out to them.

4. SPED Departments have the Blue System:
Levels C (3-4) through N (30) Kindergarten - Beginning 3rd grade
Hayley shares what happens at 7 Hills.
There may be other kits of different colors on your campus: Orange, Green, Gold, Red

5. How will it benefit my students?
The goal of LLI is to lift the literacy achievement of students who are not achieving grade-level expectations in reading. The LLI systems are designed to:
Advance the literacy learning of students not meeting grade-level expectations in reading
Deepen and expand comprehension with close reading
Elevate the expertise of teachers
Increase reading volume by engaging students in large amounts of successful daily reading
Increase student engagement with books that build knowledge
Intervene with small groups of struggling readers to maximize growth
Meet the needs of struggling readers
Monitor student progress.

8. Odd vs. Even Lessons
-Odd lessons are based on the group’s INSTRUCTIONAL TEXT LEVEL.
-Even lessons are based on a rereading of the previous day’s book, as well as introducing an INDEPENDENT level book for students to practice fluency and comprehension (usually one to two levels below the instructional level text from the previous day’s ODD lesson).
