1 Designing Instruction for Catch-Up Growth Robyn Varga, M.Ed

2 LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE LANGUAGE STRUCTURES VERBAL REASONING LITERACY KNOWLEDGE SKILLED READING: fluent execution and coordination of word recognition and text comprehension. WORD RECOGNITION PHON. AWARENESS DECODING (and SPELLING) SIGHT RECOGNITION Reading is a multifaceted skill, gradually acquired over years of instruction and practice.

3 Literacy Developmental Sequence K 1 st 2 nd 3 rd 4 th 5 th 12 th Vocabulary P.A. Decoding (Phonics) Fluency Comprehension

4 Literacy Development Many fundamental skills develop in stages. The stages cannot be skipped regardless of the age of the learner. Intervention must match the developmental level and proceed from there.

5 Adapted from NCSIP Foundations of Reading How Students Learn to Read Intensive Targeted Few Some 20% -Reading is One of the Most Difficult Tasks to Be Mastered 40% -Reading is A Formidable Challenge Universal All 35% -Reading is Relatively Easy 5% -Reading is Easy

6 Targeted Accelerated Growth Diagnostic Assessments to determine deficient sub-skills Targeted interventions to teach to the deficient skill Set goal based on norms and catch-up growth Progress Monitor to assure catch-up growth is occurring

7 Educators as Physicians Adapted from 3/25/14 Jan Hasbrouck, Ph.D. Presentation

8 Treatment without Diagnosis is Malpractice

9 Educators as Physicians Screening/Benchmark Testing: universal screening So, how are you doing?

10 Educators as Physicians Diagnostic Assessments: Let s see what s going on

11 Educators as Physicians Provide effective INSTRUCTION! This is what we ve found and here s what we can do.

12 Educators as Physicians Progress Monitoring: How are things going? Are you feeling better?

13 General Model of Assessment Beginning of the year Benchmark Screening Informal Diagnostics Throughout the year Benchmark Screening Progress Assessments End of the year, course, or treatment Benchmark Screening Outcome Measures Formative (to plan instruction) and summative tests (to document intervention effectiveness) can be given anytime during the year.

14 Targeted Accelerated Growth Diagnostic Assessments to determine deficient sub-skills Targeted interventions to teach to the deficient skill Set goals based on norms and catch-up growth Progress Monitor to assure catch-up growth occurred

33 Reading Maze Comprehension Test: What Measures how well students understand text they read silently. It is based completely on the text. Every seventh word in the passage has three words to pick the correct word. Reading Maze Comprehension Test: Why Students with reading difficulties can t use semantics and syntax to choose correct words. A reading maze can identify these students and measure changes.

34 Reading Maze Comprehension Test/How Materials: Timer Student passages (Use the student s independent level on the San Diego Quick Assessment to determine the level of passage to begin the MASI-R Oral Fluency Assessment) Timed ~ 3 minutes The student reads silently and circles the word in the parentheses that they think correctly completes the sentence.

72 Catch Up Growth All students need to make a year of academic growth each year. Students who are 1 to 3 years behind in reading need to make an additional year of growth until they catch-up. Lynn Fielding, March 2011

73 What Happens Early, Matters the level of academic achievement that students attain by eighth grade has a larger impact on their college and career readiness than anything that happens academically in high school. ~Lynn Fielding
