    Abstract: This study will provide much needed evidence on 
strategies to support US students' development of foundational reading 
skills, essential to later learning.
    A third of US students fail to develop foundational reading skills 
by 4th grade that are necessary to succeed academically. In addition, 
the achievement gap is growing as demonstrated by The Nation's Report 
Card. To address this, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) promotes 
the use of evidence-based literacy interventions. And, the Department 
of Education (ED) has made supporting educators with the knowledge, 
skills, professional development, or materials necessary to improve 
reading instruction a key priority. The Individuals with Disabilities 
Education Act (IDEA) similarly encourages high quality instruction 
along with better identification of students needing extra support to 
prevent or mitigate student reading issues.
    This study will provide much needed evidence by evaluating two 
professional development strategies for bolstering core reading 
instruction and supplemental supports, guided by data, within a MTSS-R 
framework. MTSS-R is a widely used framework for providing high-quality 
reading instruction for all students, identifying students needing 
supplemental or more intensive supports, and providing these additional 
supports for those who need it.
