Leveled Literacy Intervention: Overview

The Fountas & Pinnell Leveled Literacy Intervention System (LLI) is a small-group, supplementary intervention program designed to help teachers provide powerful, daily, small-group instruction for the lowest achieving children in the early grades.

Lessons across the three systems progress from beginning reading in Kindergarten or Grade 1 (Level A) to beginning reading for Grade 3 (Level N).

• LLI is designed to be used with small groups of young children who need intensive support to achieve grade-level competency.
• Participants include low-achieving children who are not receiving another supplementary intervention.
• English language learners can also benefit from LLI. Each LLI lesson provides specific suggestions for supporting English language learners.
