I piloted the Roadways tier 3 reading intervention program. I followed the program with fidelity; however, I personalized it for the students that I worked with. The portion that I found needed to be more personalized was the teacher reading portion. I used the props that were recommended in the Reciprocal reading guide. They worked well to introduce the concepts to my students, but after a while they focused so much on the props that they had a difficult time focusing on the task at hand.
