4 Core Classroom Reading Instruction Focus Instruction on the Big Ideas High Impact Skills at Each Grade Level Essential Components of Effective Reading Instruction
5 Focus Instruction on the Big Ideas What are the Big Ideas of early literacy? Phonemic Awareness Alphabetic Principle Fluency with connected text Vocabulary Comprehension
6 What Makes a Big Idea a Big Idea? A Big Idea is: Predictive of reading acquisition and later reading achievement Something we can do something about, i.e., something we can teach Something that improves outcomes for children if/ when we teach it
7 Big Idea: Phonemic Awareness Phonemic Awareness: The ability to hear and manipulate sounds in spoken words and the understanding that spoken words and syllables are made up of sequences of speech sounds (Yopp, 1992). cat is composed of the sounds /k/ /a/ /t/ Essential to learning to read in an alphabetic writing system, because letters represent sounds or phonemes. Without phonemic awareness, phonics makes little sense.
8 What Skills Does PA Include? Phonological Awareness Development Continuum - Word comparison Rhyming Sentence segmentation Syllable segmentation & blending» Onset-rime blending and segmentation Blending & segmenting individual phonemes Phoneme deletion & manipulation (Modified from O'Connor, Notari-Syverson, & Vadasy, 1998) High Priority Skills
9 PA Instructional Guidelines: Application Highlight hierarchy of skills using the Gradual Release Model minutes of instruction a day for all (Universal) - More for those who demonstrate difficulty Blending and segmenting high priority skills Teach children to manipulate sounds in connection to print Identify sounds associated with letters/words in reading Writing letters associated with sounds (early learning for spelling)
10 Assessing Phonemic Awareness There are curriculum-based assessment tools designed to measure specific indicators of PA. Examples include: DIBELS Initial Sound Fluency (ISF) Administered Grade K (fall/winter) DIBELS Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF) Administered Grades K (winter/spring) & 1
11 Big Idea: Alphabetic Principle Alphabetic Principle: Based on two parts: Alphabetic Understanding: Letters represent sounds in words. a p m v s
12 Big Idea: Alphabetic Principle (AP) Alphabetic Principle: Phonological Recoding: Letter sounds can be blended together and knowledge of letter-sound associations can be used to read/decode words. Translation from written representation into a sound based system to arrive at the meaning of words in the lexicon (stored vocabulary) in long-term memory (Wagoner & Torgesen, 1987). ma p
13 What Skills Does AP Include? Progression of Regular Word Reading Sounding Out (saying the sound of each letter) Whole Word Reading (vocalizing each sound and blending it to a whole word) Sight Word Reading (sounding the word out in your head and then reading the whole word) Automatic Word Reading (reading the word without sounding it out)
14 What Skills Does AP Include?
15 What Skills Does AP Include? To develop the alphabetic principle across grades K-3, students need to learn two essential skills: Letter-sound correspondences: comprised initially of individual letter sounds and progresses to more complex letter combinations. Word reading: comprised initially of reading simple CVC words and progresses to compound words, multisyllabic words, and sight words.
16 What Skills Does AP Include? Definitions Related to Word Reading Regular word: A word in which all letters represent their most common sounds (e.g., sit, fan, got). Irregular word: A word in which one or more letters does not represent the most common sound (e.g., was, of) or a word for which the student has not learned the letter-sound correspondence or the word type (e.g., CVCe). Sight word reading: The process of reading words at a regular rate without vocalizing the individual sounds in the word. Decodable text: Text in which the reader can read the majority of words accurately because the reader has been taught the sounds and word types.
17 Assessing Alphabetic Principle There are curriculum-based assessment tools designed to measure specific indicators of AP. Examples include: DIBELS Nonsense Word Fluency Administered Grades K - 2
18 Big Idea: Fluency Accuracy & Fluency with Connected Text A fluent reader s focus is on understanding the passage by reading each word accurately and with speed to enable comprehension. Automaticity with fundamental skills so that reading occurs quickly and effortlessly (e.g., driving a car, playing a musical instrument, playing a sport). Fluent reading is not speed reading.
19 What the Research Says About Fluency Fluency provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension (National Institute for Literacy, 2001). Proficient readers are so automatic with each component skill (phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary) that they focus their attention on constructing meaning from the print (Kuhn & Stahl, 2000). If a reader has to spend too much time and energy figuring out what the words are, she will be unable to concentrate on what the words mean (Coyne, Kame enui, & Simmons, 2001).
20 What the Research Says About Fluency Fluent readers Focus their attention on understanding the text Synchronize skills of decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension Read with speed and accuracy Interpret text and make connections between the ideas in the text Nonfluent readers: Focus attention on decoding Alter attention to accessing the meaning of individual words Make frequent word reading errors Have few cognitive resources left to comprehend
21 What Skills Does Fluency Include?
22 Enhancing Fluency Repeated Practice First through third graders should spend approximately 20 minutes each day on fluency related activities At least once per month teachers should time students on an unpracticed passage Meta-cognition - students graph their WPM and monitor progress
23 Assessing Fluency There are curriculum-based assessment tools designed to measure specific indicators of fluency. Examples include: DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency (DORF) Administered Grades 1 6
24 Big Idea: Vocabulary Vocabulary: Using and understanding words: Ability to say a specific word for a particular meaning Ability to understand spoken/written words
25 Vocabulary Instruction Good readers have developed adequate background knowledge and vocabulary to ensure connections between what is known to the unknown. Children use their knowledge of word meanings to make sense of the words they see in print. Beginning readers have a much more difficult time reading words that are not already part of their oral vocabulary.
26 Direct Vocabulary Instruction Teaching specific words before reading helps both vocabulary and comprehension. Extended instruction that promotes active engagement with vocabulary improves word learning. Repeated exposure to vocabulary in many contexts aids word learning.
27 Indirect Vocabulary Instruction Children/Adults engage in daily oral language. Children listen to adults read to them. Children read on their own.
28 What does the research say about vocabulary development? Independent reading by proficient readers has a substantial effect on vocabulary development. Children who are not yet proficient readers learn little vocabulary through the reading process. Children from low SES environments are exposed to dramatically fewer words on a daily basis. Children come to us unequally prepared. The question is, what are we going to do about it? (Lyon, NICHHD, 2000)
29 Vocabulary Usage Points to remember: Define what the word is and what it is not. Continual use and review. Do not introduce other new vocabulary words to define a new word (e.g., to define boat, do not use the word buoy). On-going promotion of word awareness and clarification of word usage.
30 Assessing Vocabulary There are curriculum-based assessment tools that are being researched as indicators of the Big Idea of Vocabulary. Examples include: DIBELS Word Use Fluency Administered Grades K - 3
31 Big Idea: Comprehension Comprehension: The process of getting meaning from spoken language and/or print. Good comprehenders: Relate new information to existing knowledge Have well developed vocabularies Can summarize, predict, and clarify Use questioning strategies to monitor their comprehension
32 What does the research say about comprehension? Comprehension is the active process that requires intentional and thoughtful interactions between the reader and the text, it involves accessing previous knowledge, understanding vocabulary and concepts, making inferences, and linking key ideas. Text comprehension can be improved by explicit instruction that helps readers use specific strategies. Instruction in using strategies flexibly and in combination is important. (Lyon, NICHHD, 2000)
33 Reading Comprehension Strategies Comprehension cannot be learned through rote instruction, but requires a series of strategies that influence understanding of text. Prior Knowledge Making Connections Questioning Visualizing Inferring Summarizing Evaluating Synthesizing Strategies Together Teachers must be skillful in their instruction and must respond flexibly and opportunistically to student s needs for instructive feedback as they read.
34 Assessing Comprehension There are curriculum-based assessment tools that are being researched as indicators of the Big Idea of Comprehension. Examples include: DIBELS Retell Fluency Administered Grades 1-6
35 Focus on the BIG IDEAS Effective instruction means teach less more thoroughly If you don t know what is important, everything is. If everything is important, you will try to do everything. If you try to do everything you will diminish the outcomes of the high impact skills. If you do everything you won t have time to figure out what is important.
36 Focus on Best Practice Most children do NOT learn to read or spell naturally but instead learn from instruction. Good word identification instruction does NOT include guessing words from context or picture cues. Instructional time spent on independent, silent reading with minimal guidance or feedback has NOT currently been confirmed by research to improve reading fluency.
37 Focus on Best Practice Assessing comprehension is NOT effective comprehension instruction. We don t fatten a cow by weighing it! Effective reading instruction is NOT adding one new program after another to programs already in your school without determining each one s alignment with scientifically-based reading research.
38 5 Big Ideas - Diet of Literacy Identify critical features of instruction Identify high priority skills Establish routines Employ independent strategies
39 All the Big Ideas are Important Different students will require different levels of instruction to acquire and apply the skills contained in the big ideas. Not one size fits all but Which strategy for which students Based upon where the student is on the reading continuum.
40 Prioritize High Impact Skills Time: K Phonemic Awareness * * Alphabetic Principle * * * * Fluency * * * Vocabulary * * * * Comprehension * * * * Focus: Kindergarten 3 rd Grade = Learning to Read 4 th Grade into Adulthood = Reading to Learn
41 Essential Components of Effective Reading Instruction Explicit Overtly teaching each step through teacher modeling and many examples (Gradual Release Model). Systematic Breaking lessons and activities into sequential, manageable steps that progress from simple to more complex concepts and skills. Practice and Feedback Providing many opportunities for students to respond and demonstrate what they are learning, which may include teacher modeling, rehearsal, and feedback. Mastery and Application Generalizes what is learned in different contexts.
42 Explicit Instruction Skills are directly taught through: 1. Modeling - Demonstrate the skill exactly with concise language. 2. Supported practice - Say it with me or Let s do it together. Repeat until firm or model again if necessary. 3. Test - Ask student to demonstrate the skill independently. Your turn Provide corrective feedback. ALWAYS IN THIS ORDER- teach before testing
43 Systematic Instruction A plan for instruction is critical to be sure all essential skills are taught and follows a logical sequence from beginning skills to more difficult skills. Planned and not incidental. Follows a particular order that enhances learning. Includes all essential elements with nothing left to chance to prevent gaps in knowledge.
44 Repeated Practice Some children need more exposures to information and/or skills to learn them. You may need to triple the number of practice opportunities for some students through: Choral responding - Whole class response Small group instruction- Increase number of opportunities to respond Call on individuals Review previously learned information for a few minutes daily
45 Repeated Practice (Cont.) Immediate. Corrective Feedback Model skill again, if needed. Concise and direct (Give the correct answer and repeat task). Available any time a child is learning a new skill before it is mastered.
46 Teach To Mastery Before a student can apply the new skill with automaticity, they need to have mastered the skill. Test student frequently to determine mastery level. Reteach skill until student reaches mastery level. Do not move on until student has mastered the skill.
47 Application Don t assume that every child is going to automatically apply the mastered skill in different contexts. Model the application of the skill in a variety of contexts. Provide support and corrective feedback to learner when learner is applying newly mastered skill. Goal: To transition from learning to read to reading to learn.
48 As far as I know... There was a farmer who was an expert at cows. One day his friend asked, When someone comes to buy a cow and they wonder, Is it a good cow? --what do you say? The farmer, being the expert, replied, I say, Well yes, it is a good cow. The friend gently pressed on, How do you know?
49 How much do you want to know? The friend asked, How do you know? The farmer said, Because I am the expert at cows! This is my business; I have done this for a long time. Selling cows is who I am. His friend interrupted, but what about... Do you really want to know?
50 Instructional Strategies to Improve Outcomes for all Students Motivation Social/Emotional/Academic Learning
51 Motivation Motivation is particularly important for struggling students because they often require repeated opportunities with effective instruction in order to begin demonstrating measurable improvements and transferring these skills to new situations. (Therrien, 2004)
52 The FUNdamentals Motivating ALL Readers So What Does It Take? Choice Modeling Challenging Tasks (Ford, 2006)
53 Academic Skills Deficit Vs. Performance Skills Deficit Lesser Skills Limited Success Expectation of Difficulty/Failure Avoidance Expectation of Difficulty/Failure Limited Success Avoidance Lesser Skills
54 Differentiating Between a Academic Skills Deficit Versus a Performance Skills Deficit What Influences Skill Development? Individual differences in rehearsal requirements Adequacy of instruction Frequency of instruction Content of instruction Matched to skill level Pushes comfort zone - not too easy, not too hard Practice/High Expectations Social-Emotional Factors Motivation Engagement saying Yes Self-Efficacy belief I can do it!
55 Teaching and Learning Efficacy Proactive Management Techniques Body and brain ready to learn - visuals Jobs as a learner and Jobs as a child Teacher/student points Punch card Daily Strategies to Support Students in Managing Emotions Five Tribles Check in on a Scale of 1 to 10 Acknowledging feelings (i.e., This is hard work. ) Calm down and shift to thinking Use Tools (i.e., Can you be flexible? ) Progress Monitoring On-going reflection on academic skills and performance skills development Reflection is the glue that makes learning stick. Tribes TLC Process Meta-cognition students graph their academic or social/emotional progress
56 Assessment Strategies to Improve Outcomes for all Students Benchmark Assessment Progress Monitoring Putting It All Together
57 Using Data to Guide Instruction Benchmark Assessment given three times per year and are used to guide instructional decision-making (e.g., determine if students are making adequate progress toward grade-level benchmarks or objectives) and identify students who need intervention. Progress Monitoring conducted at regular intervals to track student progress and inform instruction. You have to weigh the pig along the way to make sure it is gaining weight, so it can be sold at market for the top price.
58 Key Questions when Examining Data In what reading areas are students on track? In what reading areas do students need additional instruction? What specific skills have been mastered? What instruction can be provided? Which students have similar instructional needs and will form an appropriate group for instruction? (Reading First Initiative: Secretary s Leadership Academy)
59 Individual Student Decisions Using Data Use benchmark and progress monitoring assessment. Need data for specific students who are below benchmark. Key areas: In what instructional areas is this student progressing well? In what instructional areas is this student progressing inadequately? Does it appear to be more of a academic skills deficit or a performance skills deficit? Which instructional strategies will I use? Are the instructional changes or interventions effective?
60 Teaching and Learning Efficacy Putting it all Together Needs Assessment Pre/Post Academic Skills vs. Performance Skills Determine: Where is the student now and where does s/he want to get to? Set Goals Provide Instruction or Intervention Monitor Comfort Zone Balance the frequency of known to unknown Progress Monitor Adjust as necessary
61 Don t Assume You Need To Reinvent the Wheel Which instructional strategies are good? Which instructional strategies should we choose? How do we implement? How do we know the instructional strategies are effective? How do we support teachers, students, and parents?
62 Final Thoughts! If you want to see it, teach it! One-size does not fit all! Self-Efficacy impacts motivation, engagement and success for both teachers and students! Self-Efficacy can be addressed If you teach it, assess it! If you assess it, analyze it, use it to guide instruction! Assess again to see if instruction was effective!
