I don’t think I ever really just
came out and stated any of this…so here it goes.
First, the title of my ARP will be Effects
of a Multi-Faceted Reading Intervention Program on the Overall Performance of
Struggling Reader.
Second, a summary of my ARP follows:
Students will be placed in the sample group by virtue of low performance on the
Spring 2012 administration of the State of Texas Assessment of Academic
Readiness (STAAR) Reading test and/or our Spring 2012 or Fall 2012 campus
Universal Screen using the STAR Reading assessment from Renaissance Learning.
Once placed in the sample group, the
students will be scheduled for a daily reading improvement class in place of an
elective course. The multi-faceted reading intervention program will
incorporate the following elements: daily use of audio books (cassette tape
recordings or mp3 recordings of unabridged novels played while the student
follows along in a bound copy of the same text) four days each week; the use of
summary bookmarks after every reading session to chunk information and build
memory, comprehension, and sequencing skills; the Istation Reading with ISIP
web-based intervention program at home (when available), in tutorials, and once
each week after students complete progress monitoring assessments; weekly
administration of the STAR Reading assessment for progress monitoring; and
monthly administration of the Istation Indicators of Progress (ISIP) assessment
as a secondary progress monitor and diagnostic tool.
Data from these assessments, the
Accelerated Reader program (to track audio book success), grades in core
classes, and state assessments will be used to determine the validity of the
multi-faceted program and the amount of overall success enjoyed by the students
in the sample group.
You're right! You project is very similar to mine! We are also test driving the iStation program, as well as TTM. I'm interested in the summary bookmarks after reading sessions. Is that something the teacher comes up with? We've only used ISIP once and I honestly haven't looked at any reports! I better get on that! Looking forward to watching your plan progress!
ReplyDeleteYeah...I mean, I've heard of the strategy a million times and have even seem workbooks full of bookmarks that help summarize, analyze, evaluate...everything. But I made up the one we're using. It's a piece of notebook paper folded in half (hamburger fold). Then they take the "bottom" of the sheet of paper and fold it up toward the crease they just made. Then they flip it over and fold the "top" of the sheet up to the original crease. This makes an accordion that they can flip through one "page" at a time documenting each summary with a set of page numbers (beginning-end). This allows them to chunk a book into eight parts, summarize each chunk, then review before they quiz.
