RITE FLIGHT: A Tier 2 Reading Fluency & Comprehension Intervention
Rite Flight: A Classroom Reading Rate and Rite Flight: A Classroom Reading Comprehension Program
​
This workshop addresses the two important components identified by the National Reading Panel as needed for effective reading instruction - Reading Rate (fluency) and Reading Comprehension. Workshop materials include manuals for Rite Flight: A Classroom Reading Rate Program and Rite Flight: A Classroom Comprehension Program. These materials developed at Scottish Rite for Children, provide excellent supplements to a classroom remedial reading curriculum. Rite Flight is not intended to provide a comprehensive dyslexia intervention.
​
Rite Flight: Comprehension is not intended to be used in place of a comprehensive intervention for students identified with dyslexia, as it addresses only one component of reading.
​
Increasing Reading Rate
Fluency instruction incorporate guided and timed repeated reading of decodable words, phrases, and connected text. The instruction also includes the important elements of incentives, concrete measures of progress, and daily homework practice.
​
The Comprehension Mystery
​
A combination of techniques for instruction in reading comprehension will be discussed and demonstrated, including comprehension monitoring, question generation, story structure, summarizing, inferencing, and utilization of graphic and semantic organizers.
​
​
​
When used as a supplement, Rite Flight: Comprehension may also be used for intensive instruction within the framework of a Response-to-Intervention (RTI) model of reading instruction. The decision to use Rite Flight: Comprehension as an intervention for struggling readers in Tier Two or Tier Three should be guided by an evaluation of possible reasons for reading comprehension problems.
​​
These reasons include:
​
-
difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition
-
limited vocabulary or background knowledge
-
weakness in higher order language
-
deficiencies in th euse of text structure
-
failure to employ strategies to reflect on the meaning of the text.

Program Description:
​
Rite Flight: A Classroom Reading Rate Program
​
The National Reading Panel includes fluency as one of the necessary elements of effective reading instruction. Students with poor reading fluency read haltingly, severely limiting their understanding of passage meaning. They ignore punctuation so that phrases and sentences become meaningless combinations of words. Because dysfluent readers struggle with reading tasks, they avoid required reading and rarely read for pleasure. As a result, they spend less time reading and fall further behind their peers.
​
Rite Flight: A Classroom Reading Rate Program can be used as supplemental or intervention instruction by classroom teachers, reading specialists, and special education teachers for students in grades one through eight. It can be used with students individually, in classrooms, or small groups.
​
When used as a supplement, Rite Flight: Rate should be integrated into core reading program to adequately address fluency. As a fluency component of primary grade reading remediation and instruction, Rite Flight: Rate should be introduced early in the course of instruction in letter-sound recognition and should not be delayed until after phonics has been taught. The program can be used in conjunction with a variety of core reading curriculum that employ evidence-based components in phonemic awareness and phonics. Rite Flight: Rate may be used fro more intensive instruction within the framework of a Response-toIntervention (RTI) reading instruction model.
