- We know that For 30% of students, learning to read is easy,
regardless of reading approach (5-10% of our students begin school
as readers) For 40% of students, learning to read is a challenge
and the reading approach used is important. The reading approach
used is a function of the respective student needs. For 30% of
students, learning to read is very difficult. A systematic and
structured approach which includes phonemic awareness, phonics,
fluency, and comprehension strategies is essential for them to
succeed in reading 9

current progress in teaching the standards? Are there gaps in the
curriculum? Are there gaps in the students knowledge? Was the rigor
there? Are we holding back our gifted learners?

- Remember Joel 31 Joel is now a 6 th grade student with an
average IQ. He continues to struggle in the area of reading. He has
been identified to receive special education services under the
identification of Specific Learning Disability (SLD). Joels
assessment indicates that he has strengths in the area of basic
reading. He calls words proficiently, has a strong background in
phonetics and fluency. He struggles with vocabulary and
comprehension strategies. He enjoys small group instruction and
contributes to the discussion; however, he tends to panic when
called upon in front of the class during whole group
instruction.

- PDSA Model 36 With our plan developedWe are ready to DO !! It
is important to stress that even the best laid plans do not give us
the results that we think we want! Sometimes we learn even more
than we had planned.
- Slide 37
- Implementation 37 1.How will we implement the strategy? 2.Will
we use the strategy from the start or keep it in our back pocket?
3.Which students will we use it with? All? Some? A few? One? 4.What
roles will each of us play in implementing the strategy? 5.How will
we gather evidence on whether the strategy is helpful for student
learning?
- Slide 38
- 38 Instructional Strategies Classroom Management Behavioral
Strategies Changes in academic instruction by teachers for either
ALL students or target student (with reading problems) Tweaking
already existing systems in use for ALL students Addition of
specific strategies for target student Specificity of directions,
verbal/visual cues & prompts, addition of permanent models,
groupings, antecedents Token economies, level systems, group
contingencies Behavioral contract, differential reinforcement,
extinction, Premade, choices (Stough & Palmer, 2003) Use the
expertise of the strategists (can be both general education teacher
and special education teacher) to determine not only WHAT should be
taught, but also HOW! What is the school plan? How do we implement
it in the classroom, together? What does the IEP say? Are there
students without IEPs that could benefit from the same
strategies?
- Slide 39
- Collaboration If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we
exchange these apples- - then you and I will still each have one
apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea, and we exchange
these ideas--then each of us will have two ideas. ~George Bernard

- Elbow Partner: Who will implement what? What are the teacher
strengths?
- Slide 41
- PDSA Model 41 Once you have laid out the PLAN and you DO the
plan we want to STUDY the effectiveness of our plan STUDY
- Slide 42
- Evaluate 1.What happened when you implemented the strategy?
2.Based on the evidence you collected, how helpful was the strategy
for students? Why? 3.What might you do differently? Why?
- Slide 43
- In the near future (dont panic) Choose a student and complete
the student planning tool collaboratively. Complete the Co-Planner
for a lesson with one strategy (we are getting to the strategies )
Video tape your lesson.

was effective, how do we make it a standard practice, if not, how
can we make it better? ACT
- Slide 46
- How Do We Effectively Use Strategies to Scaffold Student
Learning in the Co-taught Classroom? 46
- Slide 47
- In order to Scaffold. Teachers must anticipate
miscomprehension: to head it off, to be vigilant about it, and to
be responsive to the problem 47
- Slide 48
- Scaffolding Strategies Activate prior knowledge Showing
examples Modeling process Graphic organizers Pre-teaching

challenging classroom activity correlates to reading comprehension
gains (Rowan and Correnti, 2009) Best predictor of Literacy gains:
Amount of reading challenging text (ACT,2006) 7 Actions that
Teachers Can Take Right Now
- Slide 51
- Lets Read Complex Text
- Slide 52
- Our goal is critical thinking: Working through the confusion is
part of the beautiful process!
- Slide 53
- Subtle and/or frequent transitions Multiple and/or subtle
themes and purposes Density of information Unfamiliar settings,
topics or events Lack of repetition, overlap or similarity in words
and sentences Complex sentences Uncommon vocabulary Lack of words,
sentences or paragraphs that review or pull things together for the
student Longer paragraphs

- Read like a detective-- write like a reporter. 55

- Making Complex Text Accessible Common Core Appendix B
- Slide 57
- Replacing challenging texts with shorter excerpts and
worksheets deprives students of experiences that allow them to
develop the regions of the brain that enable them to think deeply.

- Carousel K-W-L Decide on major topics you will cover in the
unit. Divide students into teams and each group gets a different
color marker. One student is recorder and lists all things the
group knows about the topic. Rotate. Check things they also know
and add others. Give summary of charts. List questions. These are a
work in progress during the unit.

- Develop Vocabulary (Action #4) 86 About 90% of words come from
a small percentage of words in the English language (e.g. help,
helped, helps, helping, helper) Only about 10% come from
new/unknown words. We have to focus on teaching the expectation of
un known words and how to deal with them
- Slide 87
- Word Storming Give students graphic organizer with alphabet.
Read the title of the text/ topic Students generate a list of words
they anticipate in the passage (from prior knowledge) and write
them down. Share with small group or class. Read text and add to
list.

to print prevents children from building important knowledge
structures such as vocabulary. Expanding volume of reading is the
