UNC TRI

TRI Program

TRI teachers work with their struggling readers intensively on a daily basis for about 15 minutes, initially one-on-one and transitioning to very small groups, using efficient, evidence-based reading strategies refined daily with a diagnostic mindset.

  • Re-Reading for Fluency

    Just like it sounds!

  • Word Work

    Multi-sensory strategies for manipulating, saying, and writing words and individual sounds in words

  • Guided Oral Reading

    Interactive reading aloud to, with, or by the child that happens from the very first lesson and grows in time to be the most important element of the TRI.

  • TRI Extensions

    Activities throughout the rest of the school day that increase the student's exposure to print at a more fine-tuned instructional match.

 

The TRI helps teachers:

  • Acquire essential knowledge of early reading development and efficient instructional strategies
  • Develop skills in matching instruction to informal assessment, and
  • Apply their learning particularly for the benefit of struggling readers.
