The National Reading Panel’s analysis made it clear that the best approach to reading instruction is one that incorporates:

• Explicit phonemic awareness instruction

• Explicit & systematic phonics instruction• Methods to improve fluency• Vocabulary instruction• Ways to enhance comprehension

NPR Results

Page 11: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

11

• Reading-research journals publish articles that defy reasonable standards of acceptable methodology in all other sciences

• The number of scientifically credible studies of reading instruction is extremely small in comparison to the number of “studies” published

• In reading, anyone who publishes in any form is referred to as a “researcher” or an “expert”

“They NPR only included the studies they knew would get the results they wanted.”

Page 12: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

12

• A study published by the National Center for Teacher Quality found that just 15 percent of education schools train their students in the basics of SBRR reading strategies

• Licensure tests, for the most part, do not examine education graduates on their understanding of SBRR reading strategies

Transitioning from what we believe to what science says is true is not always easy, and when beliefs are deeply rooted, resistance is strong

The Five “Big Ideas” of Reading Instruction

• Phonemic Awareness• Phonics• Fluency• Vocabulary• Comprehension

Page 20: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

20

Each of these skills are considered to be critical and a “Big Idea” because they are:

1.Predictive of reading acquisition and later reading achievement

2. Something we can do something about; something we can teach

3. If we teach it, student outcomes will be improved

• Fluency

• Vocabulary

• Comprehension

• Print Concepts

• Phonological Awareness

• Phonics & Word Recognition

• Fluency

Page 23: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

23

Print Concepts (RF.K-1.1)• Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic

features of print

Phonological Awareness (RF.K-1.2)• Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables,

and sounds (phonemes)

Phonics and Word Recognition (RF.K-5.3)• Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis

skills in decoding words

Fluency (RF.K-5.4)• K – Read emergent-reader text with purpose and

understanding• 1-5 – Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support

comprehension

Foundational Reading Standards

Page 24: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

Page 25: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

25

• Read more complex text• Text complexity bands begin in 2nd grade

(none for K-1 because we are teaching kids how to read)

• 50-50 balance between literature and informational text by upper elementary

• Teach students how to read informational text and to write in response to what they read

• Respond using textual evidence• Class discussions and written responses

CCSS Instructional Shifts

Page 26: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

26

To develop proficient readers who are able to:

• Decode regularly spelled words accurately without conscious effort

• Accurately read irregularly spelled high frequency words without conscious effort

• Understand how basic word parts (prefixes, suffixes, roots, base words) work in the English writing system

• Read connected text with near perfect accuracy and sufficient rate in order to comprehend text

Goal of Foundational Standards

Page 27: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

Reading Comprehension

Decoding

• Ability to accurately read familiar words automatically and decode unfamiliar words out of context

• Dependent on:– Phonemic

Awareness– Phonics

Language Comprehension

• Ability to understand oral language

• Dependent on:– Background

Knowledge– Social context– Vocabulary– Text/Story

Structure– Verbal Reasoning

Fluency• Ability to

read text accurately, at an appropriate rate, with suitable prosody

Page 28: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

28

• Integrate phonemic awareness into all reading lessons• Go beyond the notion of phonics as the simple

relationship between letters and sounds to include lessons on word structure and origins

• Build fluency in both underlying reading skills and text reading (i.e. repeated readings of the same text)

• Build vocabulary from the earliest levels by exposing students to a broad, rich curriculum

• Support reading comprehension by focusing on the deep understanding of topics and themes rather than just a set of strategies

• Use valid screening measures to find children who are at risk with reading difficulties

• Interweave several components of reading and language into the same lessons vs only in isolation

• Phonemic awareness - understanding that the phonemes of spoken language work together to make words

• Phonics - understanding there is a predictable relationship between phonemes and graphemes, the letters that represent those sounds in written language, in order to read words

mat

Phonemic Awareness is NOT Phonics

Page 35: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

35

• Recognize and produce rhyming words• Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in

spoken words• Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-

syllable spoken words• Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and

final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words

• Orally produce single-syllable words by blending sounds (phonemes), including consonant blends

• Segment spoken single-syllable words, including consonant blends, into their complete sequence of individual sounds (phonemes)

• Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words

CCSS Phonological Awareness for K-1

Page 36: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

36

• Children who cannot hear and work with the phonemes of spoken words will have a difficult time learning how to relate these phonemes to the graphemes (letters) when they learn to read and spell words

• Studies show that 80% - 90% of students who struggle learning to read have weaknesses in phonemic awareness

• Phonemic awareness is more highly correlated to learning to read than tests of general intelligence, reading readiness, and listening comprehension (Stanovich, 1993)

Phonemic Awareness – Why?

Application to Reading & Spelling

We blend to read

/mmmmaaaat/ mat

We segment to spell

Also…• In beginning reading programs for students of any age• As a warm-up before phonics instruction• Incorporated into daily spelling instruction K-5• Targeted intervention for students who have not yet

demonstrated mastery of the skills

Phonemic Awareness – When?

First Grade

10 minutes daily

Sept – Nov

Kindergarten

10-15 minutes daily

Sept – June

Page 39: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

Phonemic Awareness instruction should be:

• Few in number• Explicitly and systematically taught• Supported by concrete materials• Connected to phonics • Reinforced in small groups

Phonemic Awareness - How?

Page 40: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

40

• Focus on only one or two types of phoneme manipulation at a time

• Blending and segmenting activities have the greatest benefit to reading acquisition (National Reading Panel, 2000; Snider, 1995)

• Generally, teach blending before segmenting (Lane & Pullen, 2005)

Few in Number

Page 41: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

Blending SegmentingWords Listen. I – like – hamburgers. Say the

sentence. I like hamburgers.Clap after every word you hear in this sentence: I like hamburgers. (Students clap between each word while they repeat) I – like – hamburgers.

Syllables (hold hand up) Listen. Put these parts together to make a word: buck…et (drop hand) bucket

Listen. Bucket. Let’s clap and say the parts in bucket. buck – et (Students clap as they say each part.)

Onset-rimes

• Process of using relationship between the letters (graphemes) of written language and the individual sounds (phonemes) of spoken language to read words

• Goal of phonics instruction is to help children to learn and use the alphabetic principle

Phonics – What?

Recoding

• Written letters represent spoken sounds in words (aka: letter-sound correspondence)

• “m” says /mmm/ “a” says /aaa/ “t” says /t/

• Letter sounds can be blended together to make words (decoding) and segmented to spell words (encoding)

• /mmmaaat/ = mat mat = /mmm/ /aaa/ /t/

Basic vs. Advanced Phonics

Page 53: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

53

• Some children, especially those with strong language skills, can memorize words and use context clues when “reading”

• When in fact their phonics skills are weak and they are merely “guessing” their way through the text

• Reading difficulties may not be apparent until the later primary grades

Phonics Memorizing & Guessing

55

Regular words• A word in which all letters represent their most

common sounds (e.g., mad, slump, trust)

Irregular words• A word in which one or more letters does not

represent the most common sound (e.g., was, of)

High frequency words (can be regular or irregular)• Only 13 words (a, and, for, he, is, in, it, of, that, the,

to, was, you) account for 25% of print (Johns, 1980)

Sight words• Any word read at a regular rate without

subvocalizing the individual sounds in the word

Types of Words

Page 56: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

CCSS Phonics K & 1st Kindergarten

• All letter names and most common sound for each

• Read regular words with ease

• Spell regular words• Recognize the common

spellings of long (a_e) and short vowel sounds (CVC)

• Read approximately 20-30 high frequency irregular words

First Grade

• Letter sounds at one/second

• CVCe words• Blends (sl), diagraphs (sh)

and common vowel diagraphs (ai)

• r-controlled vowels (ar)• Common endings (-ed)• Basic 2-syllable words by

chunking into parts (picnic)• Spell these types of words• Common irregular words 56

Page 57: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

CCSS Phonics 2nd & 3rd Second Grade

• Less common vowel diagraphs (aw, igh) and diphthongs (oy, ow)

• Two-syllable words with advanced phonics patterns (payment)

• Use affixes to decode (un + happy = unhappy)

• Lower frequency patterns (ough as in rough)

• Segment and spell these types of words

• Common irregular words

Third Grade

• Use affixes to help understand the meaning of words (unhappy means not happy)

• Decode multisyllabic words by segmenting them into syllables, or parts (including those with root words and affixes)

• Segment and spell multisyllabic words

• Common irregular words 57

Page 58: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

58

The goal in fourth and fifth grade is for students to be able to use their knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication, roots and affixes to not only read multisyllabic words but also assist in understanding the meaning of unknown multisyllabic words

CCSS Phonics 4th & 5th

Page 59: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

59

Teaching Phonics is about Accuracy!

• Students must develop the skills and habits for automatic and accurate reading, so that all of their cognitive energy can go into understanding what the text means

• Relying on context, pictures, and background knowledge cannot be students’ primary strategy for reading words (What happens to pictures, content, text structures, and vocabulary as students progress through the grades?)

• Poor readers are more likely to mispronounce affixes and vowels and to omit syllables when reading multisyllabic words (which carry most of the meaning as text becomes more complex) (Shefelbine & Calhoun, 1991)

• Phonics instruction improves students’ fluency, spelling, and reading comprehension (National Reading Panel, 2000

Phonics – Why?

Page 60: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

60

“There is no comprehension strategy powerful enough to compensate for the fact you can’t read the words.”

Page 61: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

61

“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer”

Children who can decode CAN and DO read more words, develop a larger vocabulary, are better comprehenders, enjoy reading, and thus read MORE…

So they continue to develop their skills and outpace lower-skill peers

“The Matthew Effect” (Stanovich, 1986)

Page 62: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

62

• Good readers rely primarily on the letters in a word, rather than context or pictures, to identify/pronounce familiar and unfamiliar words (Ehri, 1994)

• Good readers automatically identify patterns in words and chunk common letter combinations and units of meaning (morphemes) into identifiable word parts before reading the whole word (Ehri, 1998)

• Eye movement research with adults reading multisyllabic words shows their eyes move with a variety of fixations, saccades, return sweeps, and regressions - rather than the often assumed impression that our eyes glide smoothly across the page when reading (Rayner, Juhasz, & Pollatsek, 2007)

Characteristics of Good Readers

Page 63: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

63

• To assist in determining word meanings• Many things we use as condiments for our

food, such as pepper and curry powder, cannot be grown in this country.

• To make corrections • For words with multiple pronunciations

(ex. read)• To change pronunciations for words

(ex. kind, husband)

What about Background Knowledge & Context?

Page 64: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

64

Explicit Phonics - How?

• Interactive lessons where the teacher models:

• How to blend taught sounds/combinations to read • Apply what is learned about sounds to spell words• Keep eyes on the letters in order to “sound out” • Apply phonics knowledge to read decodable text

• Provides group practice with scaffolded support while gradually and purposely releasing the responsibility to students

I do We do We do We do We do We do

You do You do You do…

Page 65: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

65

• Letter-sounds, combinations and affixes are taught in a clearly defined and logical sequence with initial practice, cumulative review and distributed practice

Systematic Phonics - How?

• Letter-sound correspondence• Regular words (including blends)• Consonant digraphs

Alphabetic Principle/ Basic

Phonics• r-controlled (or, born, forest)• VCe (a_e, bake, mistake) • Vowel digraphs (ai, plain,

maintain)• Inflectional endings (-ing, filling)• Common affixes (un, unhappy)

Advanced Phonics/ Two-

Syllable• Multisyllabic: (president,

organization) • Use affixes & roots for meaning

(unhappy = not happy, geo: earth, -logy: study of, geology = study of the earth)

Multi-syllabic/ Word Study

Page 66: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

66

• Letter-sound relationships are taught incidentally usually based on letters or patterns the teacher notices in the reading materials that day and/or when the teachers hears word reading errors

• Includes little or no instruction in how to actually blend letter sounds/parts to read words

• Students are taught to use context clues to figure out how to read words they cannot read automatically

• Do not provide practice materials to apply what they are learning about letter-sound relationships

• Focus is on literature, sight words and meaning

Phonics Example – 1st Grade

Page 72: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

72

• Decodable texts are densely packed with words that contain taught phonics patterns; therefore, students constantly “bump” into words with taught phonics patterns around every turn

• The overlap between words and the variety of patterns a student encounters in decodable texts appears to “force” the student to examine words in ways that help them internalize and solidify these patterns in long term memory (Adams, 2009; Stahl & Stahl, 2004)

• Creating detailed representations of phonics patterns in memory is necessary for reading fluency

• Reading decodable text ensures students learn the first goal of reading is reading the text accurately

Purpose of Decodable Text

Page 73: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

73

• Excellent for teaching the structure of oral language

• If used as initial independent reading materials, may promote guessing

Predictable

• Useful in matching books to students who have “broken the code”

• Do not control for the order of intro of sounds or irregular words, so less useful for beginning readers

Leveled

• Text material in which the students can read ALL of the words because the words contain known sounds and the irregular words and story words (ex. names) have been taught

Decodable

• In 2nd grade and above, aim for at least _____% accuracy on unpracticed, grade-level text

• In K-1st grade, students should be at least _____% accurate

What is reasonably accurate?

Page 83: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

83

• An early emphasis on accuracy will enable students to develop the concentration to read accurately without great effort

• The need for accuracy becomes increasingly observable when students encounter more complex text, like scientific reading materials, where misreading one word can change the meaning of the sentence

Accuracy is First, Foremost, and Forever the Foundation of Fluency (Jan

Hasbrouck)

• Mirrors spoken language and conveys meaning

• Often referred to as expression and proper phrasing

What is suitable prosody?

Page 87: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

The origin of the word fluency is the Latin word fluens, which means to flow. A reader who is fluent reads smoothly

and effortlessly: the reading flows

• Kindergarten – “Read emergent-reader text with purpose and understanding.”• Emergent reader text is defined, in Appendix A

of the CCSS, as “texts consisting of short sentences comprised of learned sight words and CVC words; may also include rebuses to represent words that cannot yet be decoded or recognized.”

• 1st – 5th grade – “Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.”

Fluency – Why? • Fluency is a general outcome measure that

correlates extremely high with comprehension

• Children who read fluently CAN and DO:• Read more• Develop a larger vocabulary• Are better comprehenders• Perform better on assessments• Complete assignments easier• Enjoy reading• Are more motivated, thus reap the benefits of

reading more!

• Explicit - Highly interactive lessons in which the teacher has students engage in a variety of oral reading practice with guidance and feedback

• Systematic - Fluency instruction should be planned for and purposely embedded throughout the school day

Independent silent reading is NOT sufficient to improve fluency

Fluency – How?

Page 92: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

92

Use reading procedures that promote maximum

practice for ALL students

Page 93: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

93

Repeated reading (deep, close reading) remains the “gold standard” for fluency instruction

And the Winner is…

Page 94: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

• Structured Repeated Reading

• Partner Repeated Reading

• Choral Reading

• Echo Reading for Expression

• Cloze Reading

• Augmented Silent Reading

As you watch the video of fluency practices in a third grade classroom, please record the following:

- Good instructional practices related to fluency instruction

- General good teaching practices observed related to explicit and systematic instruction

- Missed opportunities/room to grow

Reading Comprehension

Decoding

• Ability to accurately read familiar words automatically and decode unfamiliar words out of context

• Dependent on:– Phonemic

Awareness– Phonics

Language Comprehension

• Ability to understand oral language

• Dependent on:– Background

Knowledge– Social context– Vocabulary– Text/Story

Structure– Verbal Reasoning

Fluency• Ability to

Purpose of DIBELS Next• To accurately identify students in need of

support early

• To provide meaningful and important instructional goals

• To evaluate progress toward the instructional goals

• To help modify instruction as needed for students to make adequate progress

• To help systems evaluate their core and supplemental programs

Why These Measures?

• They relate to the BIG IDEAS!

• They are indicators of critical early literacy skills that are the most highly predictive of later reading achievement

• The measures are NOT meant to be comprehensive of all aspects of reading

Why Nonsense Words?• Nonsense words are used to explore whether

beginning stage readers can apply the alphabetic principle when coming to a word s/he does not recognize automatically

• We continue to use our alphabetic principle in middle school, high school, and beyond when we come to a word we do not know

• Real words cannot be used because it is unclear if the student actually has the skills to sound out and read the word (versus it being a memorized word)

Page 107: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

Interpretation of your DIBELS data is dependent on

understanding what the Benchmark Goals

mean!

Page 108: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

108

Goals have three critical components:

1. A skill 2. A level of performance 3. A point in time

They represent the lowest level of okay for ALL students!

Understanding Benchmark Goals

Dynamic Measurement Group

Page 109: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

109

• Benchmark goals represent lowest levels of performance that, with continued good instruction, students have an 80% - 90% chance of meeting the next benchmark goal

• Some-risk means a 40 - 60% chance of meeting the next benchmark goal

• High-risk means 10% - 20% chance of meeting the next benchmark goal

UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING!

What Does Benchmark Mean?

Page 110: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

110

• If established in PSF at the end of Kindergarten, then a 75% chance of meeting DORF benchmarks at the end of 1st grade

• If established in CLS in the middle of 1st grade, then an 89% chance of meeting the benchmark in DORF at the end of 1st grade

• If benchmark in DORF at the end of 1st grade, then an 87% chance of meeting the benchmark in DORF at the end of 4th grade

• Meeting 4th grade DORF benchmarks is very highly correlated with proficient reading comprehension on standardized assessments, including the MEAP

• And if behind in first grade, the gap appears to grow as evidenced by the increase in students with intensive needs in grades 2-5

Importance of Meeting Benchmarks

Page 111: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

111

How Effective is our Core Instruction?

A Core Program is effective if it:

• Meets the needs of at least 80% - 90% of all students

• At least 95% of students at benchmark maintain their Low Risk status throughout the school year

Page 112: Strengthening Literacy Instruction PowerPoint

• Use to ensure that your daily instruction includes all of the critical components of phonics and fluency instruction as well as explicit instruction practices

• Lesson planning• Self-assessment• Peer feedback/coaching• Instructional coaching• Observations

MTSS “Wild Card” Game

P1 – “MTSS is about what we do in Tier 2 & Tier 3.”

“I don’t like DIBELS because it is not a comprehensive measure of reading.”

P2 – “All that matters is that I get 80% of my kids to benchmark by the end of the year.”

“Meeting benchmark means mastery, so they don’t need further instruction in that skill.”
