Reading Enrichment

The National Reading Panel Report (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development [NICHD], 2000) summarized several decades of scientific research that clearly shows effective reading instruction. It addresses five critical areas:

  • Phonemic awareness
  • Phonics
  • Fluency
  • Vocabulary
  • Comprehension

First Grade Vocabulary Enhancement Program

SLIDE 10

What is the program?

  • Created to increase and improve their vocabulary and

background knowledge.

  • Improvement is measured by administration of a pre- and

post-test and district approved assessments.

  • Students selected to participate are identified by their

teacher or reading coach

  • Program is non-remedial and administered by non-

educators; students should have a basic understanding of story elements and be willing to learn in a one-on-one environment.

  • Students will not be required to read aloud but are rather

called upon to discuss story structure, story elements, words and their meaning.

Why Vocabulary Enrichment?

Research indicates major inequalities in vocabulary acquisition among children from different economic circumstances. In a typical hour:

Family Status Actual Differences in Quantity of Words Heard Actual Differences in Quality of Words Heard Welfare 616 words 5 affirmations, 11 prohibitions Working Class 1,251 words 12 affirmations, 7 prohibitions Professional 2,153 words 32 affirmations, 5 prohibitions

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Why Vocabulary Enrichment?

Cumulatively:

Family Status Words heard per hour Words heard in a 100- hour week Words heard in a 5,200 hour year Words heard in 4 years Welfare 616 62,000 3 million 13 million Working Class 1,251 125,000 6 million 26 million Professional 2,153 215,000 11 million 45 million

Second Grade Reading Fluency

slide-19
SLIDE 19

What is the program

  • Goal is to improve targeted students’ reading fluency
  • Improvement is measured by noting the students’ beginning

and ending score on a simple one minute timed reading of a non-fiction passage. Further progress will be marked by improved scores district approved assessments.

  • Students are identified by their teacher or reading coach as

needing extra assistance with fluency typically reading between 25 and 50 correct words per minute (cwpm).

  • Program is non-remedial and administered by non-educators;

therefore the students should have a basic understanding phonics and strong letter sound recognition.

slide-20
SLIDE 20

What the Research Tells Us

  • Read2Succeed (R2S) recognizes the importance of improving students’ reading fluency.
  • The National Reading Council has named fluency as one of the essential components of

reading and its direct correlation with reading comprehension has been noted in numerous studies.

  • Our volunteers use a research based program called, “The Six-Minute Solution: A Reading

Fluency Program,” with permission from Cambium Learning Group-Sopris.

  • The Six Minute Solution builds fluency through interactive, repeated readings of high-interest

and targeted readability passages.

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Our Program Step by Step

Step 1: Establish a personal connection. Step 2: Review the three components of reading fluency. Step 3: Model through the day’s passage reading aloud. Step 4: Skim for difficult words. Step 5: Echo read. Step 6: Choral read all together. Step 7: Timed reading Step 8: Games and independent reading time.
