Book excerpt: Students consistently struggle to achieve adequate levels of proficiency on state and national reading assessments. A quasi-experimental design was used to examine the effects of Response to Intervention (RTI) on middle school students' skills in reading and academic achievement. Also, the study sought to examine how the implementation of RTI changed over time. The sample population consisted of approximately 285 students in Grades 6 through 8 and 39 staff from one middle school in middle Tennessee. Conclusions revealed that students receiving RTI did not improve significantly compared to below grade level readers that did not receive reading intervention; however, paired samples t-tests revealed intervention students in each grade level showed significant improvements in overall comprehension scores.
