learning strategies: Making classrooms more responsive to diversity." This study demonstrated the effectiveness of a 15-week peer tutoring program for enhancing reading success in elementary school classrooms. In 2015, Fuchs and her colleagues were awarded the International Literacy Association’s Albert J. Harris Research Award for their paper "“Efficacy of a first-grade responsiveness-to-intervention prevention model for struggling readers" published in Reading Research Quarterly. This paper indicated significant gains in first-grade reading for children assigned to a small-group supplemental tutoring program after being identified as non-responders to standard reading instruction. Fuchs and her co-author Sarah Powell received the 2016 Samuel A. Kirk Award from the Division of Learning Disabilities of the Council for Exceptional Children for their paper "Intensive intervention in mathematics" published in Learning Disabilities Research and Practice. This paper describes evidence-based individualized approaches to instruction for students who exhibit persistent difficulties in mathematics. Representative publications Fletcher, J. M., Lyon, G.
