This survey collects information from teachers about their implementation of core reading programs and supplemental interventions. It asks teachers to indicate if various practices related to universal screening, guided reading, skill groups, curriculum implementation, data-driven instruction, progress monitoring and intervention grouping are achieved with fidelity, in progress or not started. The survey will help assess the status of reading programs and interventions at the school.
