1-to-1 instruction
This form of intervention is one of the
most resource-intensive and difficult to
pull off in modern educational settings.
An individual child receives dedicated
tuition from a teacher, often in additional
after-school sessions (although it can still
take place in-lesson).
Small group tutors
These small groups still offer pupils the
opportunity to ask questions and get the
time they need with you to close their
knowledge gap.
Large group boosters
If you find your resources stretched, or you
have lots of pupils you need to support at
any time, larger booster type sessions may
be a more sensible option. You will likely
lose some of the benefits you get from
holding smaller sessions, but as teachers,
we are all too aware that we have to make
do with the resources at hand.
Feedback
Effective feedback will probably be part of
most intervention strategies, but you could
choose to use it as the very core of your
plan.
Online revision and
homework
This type of intervention can come in the
form of worksheets you’ve created, or by
recommending relevant online resources.
For younger children, you’ll need to get
parents involved, as they will be the ones
sitting down with their child to carry out
your intervention strategy.
 Successful Strategies for Teaching
Students with Learning Disabilities
Some intervention practices that produce
large outcomes are:

1. Direct instruction;
2. Learning strategy instruction; and
3. Using a sequential, simultaneous
structured multi-sensory approach.
Teachers who apply those kinds of
intervention:
• break learning into small steps;
• administer probes;
• supply regular, quality feedback;
• use diagrams, graphics and pictures to
augment what they say in words;
Teachers who apply those kinds of
intervention:
• provide ample independent, well-designed
intensive practice;
• model instructional practices that they want
students to follow;
• provide prompts of strategies to use; and
• engage students in process type questions
like “How is the strategy working? Where else
might you apply it?”
