different instruction altogether.
Which of the following approaches is fundamental to elementary reading
instruction grounded in scientifically based research? Correct Answer: Using
systematic, data-driven instructional practices to teach foundational reading skills
, A second-grade student who receives Tier 3 instruction to remediate foundational
reading skills demonstrates grade-level proficiency in a post-assessment. In
accordance with the guidelines of Indiana's Response to Instruction model, which
