Instruction
  • In reading, achievement gains are associated with
    direct instruction of reading strategies
    (Guthrie, 1996).
  • Effective instruction includes
  • What the strategy is
  • How to do it
  • When to do it
  • What it looks like in practice ? Modeling or
    Think Aloud Protocol

"the most important thing we can teach our
students is how to learn. Or, put another way,
the most powerful thing we can teach is strategic
knowledge, a knowledge of the procedures people
use to learn, to think, to read, and to write"
Wilhelm Jeffry 2002 (p.7).

Guided Practice
  • In addition to explicit instruction, learners
    must have personal, active experiences in
    practicing and applying new concepts to master a
    new strategy.
  • Links between confidence comprehension1
  • Audio scaffolding for struggling learners2
  • Technology has been shown effective in
    encouraging students to persist in solving
    problems and take greater risks3
  • Perception of success and completion promotes
    intrinsic motivation4
  • Academically heterogeneous classrooms--struggling
    gifted readers. Comprehension abilities are
    impacted if a student has not reached a threshold
    of fluency, vocabulary, non-linguistic abilities,
    engagement, purpose, domain knowledge, and
    cognitive/metacognitive strategy development 5

5
Application
  • Using the concept independently in a different
    context. Another context could be
  • another section of the same text used in the
    practice
  • the same concept addressed in the practice but
    now practiced in a different activity type
  • writing, using the writing tool (including
    graphic organizer with input)
  • Application involves the performance of the
    just-learned skill in connection with a new
    example. (Gagne, 1985). This application is the
    one of the most challenging design elements and
    one of the most important for differentiating
    RVDP products from other instructional resources.
  • Application expands the sense of usefulness of
    information and skills. In other words, this
    creates the context for knowledge transfer. This
    creates the context for higher-order
    decision-making skills.

Depth of Knowledge Definition Example Reading
Level 1 (Easy) knowledge recall recalls facts, information, procedures, definitions support ideas by reference to details in text identify figurative language in a reading passage
Level 2 (Medium) comprehension basic application of a skill or concept translates, comprehends, or interprets information summarize, organize, compare, use context clues to identify the meaning of unfamiliar words predict a logical outcome based on information in the text, identify and summarize the major events in a narrative
Level 3 (Hard) distinguishes, classifies, uses reasoning, develops a plan or sequence of steps, has some complexity explain, generalize, connect ideas, determine authors purpose, analyze and describe characteristics of various types of literature

Prescription Logic
  • Reading passages always travel with prescribed
    activities
  • Assumes a low-touch implementation
  • Unit prescription Assign all resources from
    that unit that can help the student master a
    concept
  • Lesson prescription Assign units from that
    lesson or prior to help students master a concept

A Literacy Crisis in Grade 4-12
  • The number of students in grades 4-12 classified
    as struggling readers is greater than 8 million1
  • Only 39 of white eighth graders are proficient
    in reading
  • Only 15 of Hispanic eighth graders are
    proficient in reading
  • Only 12 of African American eighth graders are
    proficient in reading2
  • Students performing in the lowest 25 of their
    class are 20 times more likely to drop out of
    school than the higher performing students3
  • Our struggling readers are not illiterate, they
    can read. They just cant comprehend/understand
    what it is they are reading.4

Who Are These Students?
  • Tech-savvy
  • 90 of children ages 5-17 use a computer1
  • Over 75 of children ages 9-12 use the internet1
  • 81 of kids in grades 6-12 have an e-mail address
    2
  • 43 of children ages 4-18 own at least one
    wireless device (cell phone, pda) 3
  • 24 have created their own websites4
  • 3 billion text messages a day5
  • 77 of public schools had a majority of teachers
    who used the Internet for instruction during the
    0304 school year (up from 54 in 1998-99)5

This generation of students is more likely to be
armed with cell phones, laptops, and iPods than
with spiral notebooks and 2 pencils. -

What are they doing outside of school?
  • An average day 1
  • 6.5 hours with media
  • Given a choice of media, what is your favorite2
  • 33 of students picked the Internet
  • 26 chose television
  • 21 telephone
  • 15 radio
  • 2.25 hours hanging out with parents and friends
  • 74 report getting along with their parents3

  • 30 minutes doing chores
  • 20 minutes reading non-school-related books (time
    on all mediabooks, magazines, and newspapers 40
    minutes)6

25
Why Engagement?
  • Engaged readers have been shown to
  • Ask more questions as they read2
  • Decide when and how to use strategies as they
    read3
  • Have learning experiences that are more permanent
    and internalized (rather than temporary and
    superficial)4
  • Engagement is cited as a primary concern of many
    teachers5
  • Motivation was identified as a top component of a
    successful adolescent literacy program6
  • Disconnected
  • As they get older, many students see reading as
    disconnected from their lives7
  • They dont understand the purpose for learning
  • Reading is not an authentic activity for them,
    and as a result uninteresting and unimportant4

todays youth are not ADD but EOEEngage me Or
Enrage me. - Mark Prensky

    a variety of instructional approaches
  • 98 whole group
  • 96 individualized instruction
  • 86 small group instruction

Technology has provided the hub that links
pertinent data from individual learners.... -

Vocabulary
  • Many studies, in fact, report positive
    correlations between background knowledge and
    achievement. (Nagy, Anderson, Herman, 1987
    Bloom, 1976 Dochy, Segers, Buehl, 1999
    Tobias, 1994 Alexander, Kulikowich, Schulze,
    1994 Schiefele Krapp, 1996 Tamir, 1996
    Boulanger, 1981)
  • ? Build background multimedia slide shows and
    videos to inform inspire
  • The National Reading Panel outlined recommends
    the pre-teaching of vocabulary (NICHD, 2000b,
    p.14).
  • ? DR includes 6-9 high utility and/or academic
    vocabulary terms per unit.
  • As important to pre-teaching vocabulary is
    modeling and teaching students to use vocabulary
    strategies while reading (Blachowicz, C.,
    Fisher, P. 1996).
  • ? Vocabulary strategies (indirect instruction)
    are found in every unit
  • Present words in context. Provide multiple
    exposures to words (McKeown, Beck, Omanson,
    Pople, 1985).
  • ? Vocabulary is always introduced in context
  • ? Students get multiple exposures to words
  • lesson passages (100-150 words. Same theme)
  • central passages
  • assessment
