Researchers are recommending intervention during these critical years so that students are deviated back towards grade-level proficiency. Therefore, districts across the country are opening their doors to prekindergarten so that Response to Intervention (RtI) can help struggling students turn learning stumbling blocks into developmental stepping stones before enter kindergarten.

The screening tool should employ developmentally and age appropriate assessments (Gersten, Rolhus, Clarke, Decker, Wilkins, & Dimino, 2015 and Watts, Duncan, Siegler, & Davis-Kean, 2014). Tier I foundation is built upon providing high-quality math instruction in a least constricted environment to student experiencing math difficulties (MD).
