Micro Intervention Techniques
Micro Intervention Techniques
Why do reading interventions work with one student, but not the next, even though you have used exactly the same process?
The reason is that there can be small blockages to progress that need to be released for an individual student to progress.
Different students are being held back by different issues. That is where micro interventions come in. They allow you to break those little blockages for the individual student. And these micro interventions will work with whatever main intervention process you are using.
Examples:
For instance, here are five students who all need different micro interventions, to deal with different issues:
Student 1: Reads long words fluently, but often guesses the short words
Student 2: Reads short words accurately, but not the long words
Student 3: Reads well, but has very low comprehension in silent reading
Student 4: Complains of the text “moving around on the page”
Student 5: Parents say that reading practice always ends in a tantrum
Have you seen patterns like those? Can you see how different they are? They are caused by completely different issues that need to be resolved. And often that can take minutes to do, once you know what is going on.
On our Smart Reading Intervention Mastery webinar course we will give you simple micro interventions for each of these situations. Then you can start to see faster and more consistent results, which will save you a lot of frustration and hours of wasted input.

Testimonials
“Thank you to all three of you for coming all that way with so many fantastic resources. The training was superb and staff are really buzzing, including those that are often harder to convince. I can’t wait to get going!” – Pennine View School
As a collective, we thought that the AAP three week ‘implementation’ course was excellent. The course was hugely beneficial for all of us for different reasons. For those of the team who had little or no experience of teaching phonics, they received the ‘basic knowledge ‘required to understand how the teaching of phonics works. Those of us who have been using the AAP resources got lots of new practical ideas to use in the classroom and learned more about the science behind AAP. It also gave us the confidence to communicate with our new parents and the powerpoints for lessons will prove most useful next year. Even the most experienced teachers among us found the course extremely useful and interesting. We loved the interactive nature of the AAP CPD. We enjoyed being able to engage with other schools, answer questions and have our questions answered … the icing on the cake was actually winning a delicious prize, which by the way, was MOST appreciated and enjoyed by all of our team. Thank you for your support and follow-up communication. We now have the material to use when helping train new staff to use and deliver AAP. Thanks again Ladies! We give your CPD: FIVE STARS – Prenton Preperatory
