What level of readers does the TTS address?
The TTS is designed to address the needs of struggling readers from Kindergarten through adult. Readers performing at or above expectation for their age or grade level do not need TTS. Back to top 10. When should I use TTS? TTS should be used after the administration of the Diagnostic Assessments of Reading (DAR). Use a student’s DAR results to locate the appropriate TTS on this website. Simply print the strategy directions and materials, gather any ancillary materials, and meet with the student to try the strategies. As you and the student discuss which strategies are effective, you can plan how to incorporate these strategies in future instruction and class work. Back to top 11. If I select Enter DAR Results, do I need to enter results from ALL the subtests? No, you should enter only the student’s DAR results in areas of concern—areas in which the student had difficulty or performed below expectation. Back to top 12. Do the TTS cards and picture sheets need to be printed in color? No
