Reading is the key …
• To all school based learning
• To general knowledge, spelling, writing abilities and vocabulary
• To love of learning
• To success in most academic and occupational fields
• To a healthy self-concept
![Page 3: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Reading Success is key …
• Poor readers by end of first grade have lowered self-esteem and self-concept and motivation
• Embarrassing even devastating to demonstrate this weakness in the classroom
• “I would rather have a root canal than read”
![Page 4: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
It is Imperative …

![Page 8: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Successful Teachers of LD Students …
• Provide ample independent, intensive practice
• Model instructional practices
• Provide prompts of strategies to use
• Engage students in process type questions: “How is that strategy working for you?”
![Page 9: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Scaffolding
• Process in which students are given support
• Strategies that allow the teacher to break down a task
• Technique that is flexible and temporary
![Page 10: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Eight Essential Elements of Scaffolding
• Pre-engagement with the student and the curriculum
• Establish a shared goal
• Actively diagnose student needs and understandings
• Provide tailored assistance
![Page 11: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Elements of Scaffolding …
• Maintain pursuit of the goal • Give feedback• Control for frustration and risk• Assist internalization, independence, and
generalization to other contexts
![Page 12: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Scaffolding Tips
• Begin with what the student can do
• Help students achieve success quickly –avoid frustration and “cycle of failure”
• Help students to “be” like everyone else
• Know when it is time to stop “Less is more” once mastery is demonstrated
• Help students be independent when they demonstrate mastery

Five Pillars of Reading Instruction
• Phonemic Awareness• Phonics • Fluency • Vocabulary
• Text Comprehension
![Page 20: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Phonemic Awareness
• Ability to hear, identify and manipulate the individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words
• Primary grade activity using rhymes and games• Auditory skill, not visual skill• A part of phonological awareness
![Page 21: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Two Important Phonemic Awareness Activities
• Phoneme Blending. – /d/ /o/ /g/ (used in decoding words)
• Phoneme Segmentation– Break spoken word into separate phonemes– 4 sounds in truck /t/ /r/ /u/ /k/– Used in spelling word phonetically- – “Invented spelling” is OK
![Page 22: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Phonics Instruction
• The Sound (phoneme) - symbol (Grapheme) relationship
• Phonics vs. Whole Word debate
![Page 23: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
More on Phonics Instruction
• Phonics is a means to an end not an end of itself
• Should be Part of a comprehensive reading program,
• Most effective when early (K or first grade)
![Page 24: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Systematic and Explicit Phonics Instruction …
• Effective for children from various social and economic levels
• Particularly beneficial for children who are having difficulty learning to read and are at risk for developing future reading problems
• Must include ample opportunities to practice and review the relationships they are learning
![Page 25: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Reading Fluency
• The ability to read with accuracy, and with an appropriate rate, expression, and phrasing.
• Important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension.
• Attention to fluency is often neglected in reading instruction.
![Page 26: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why Fluency is Important
• More fluent readers focus their attention on making connections among the ideas in a text and between these ideas and their background knowledge. Therefore, they are able to focus on comprehension.
• Less fluent readers must focus their attention primarily on decoding and accessing the meaning of individual words. Therefore, they have little attention left for comprehending the text.
![Page 27: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reading Fluency
If you don’t ride your bikefast enough, you fall off.
![Page 28: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Automaticity = Fluency
• Automaticity refers only to accurate, speedy word recognition, not to reading with expression.
• Necessary prerequisite for fluency in passage reading
• LD students need work on this intermediate step
![Page 29: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Building Automaticity in Word Reading
• Prerequisite skill is word accuracy
• Word sorts/games
• Reading word lists
• Timings on word lists
• Start with words of one pattern
• Move to word lists with multiple patterns
• Goal 45-50 wpm with 2 or fewer errors

Strategies for Developing Fluency
• Model fluent reading, then have students reread the text on own.
• Have students repeatedly read passages aloud with guidance
• Have students reread text that is reasonably easy (independent reading level)
• Student-adult reading, choral reading, partner reading, tape-assisted reading and Reader’s Theater
![Page 34: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Select Reading Levels
1. Independent Reading Level. Easy reading. (95% word accuracy)
2. Instructional Reading Level. Challenging but manageable for the reader. (90% word accuracy).
3. Frustration Reading Level. This is too hard for the reader. (less than 90% word accuracy)
![Page 35: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Select Reading Topic

• Fun
• Nurture affinities
![Page 36: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Reader’s Theater
• Fun, motivating, meaningful, enjoyable
• Easily adapted to whole class or small groups–without costumes or props
• Practice ahead of time silently and aloud
• Students do not memorize lines
• Students “perform”
![Page 38: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Prosody
• Prosody is reading with expression, with appropriate phrasing, with pitch, stress and emphasis.
• Automatic word recognition may lead to accurate and effortless decoding but it stops short of the final goal including prosody.
![Page 39: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Prosody …
Disfluent readers tend to read in a monotonous and choppy fashion with little or no expression and their phrasing is either word by word or involves awkward groupingofwords.
![Page 40: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Prosody cont.
Fluent readers, on the other hand, integrate pitch, emphasis, and the appropriate use of phrasing in their reading. This occurs only as readers become aware of the connection between written and oral language. This indicates their understanding of what they have read.
![Page 41: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Dysfluency: Kid’s View
• I hate reading!
• This is stupid!
• I just seem to get stuck when I try to read a lot of the words in this chapter.
• It takes me so long to read something.
• Reading through this book takes so much of my energy, I can’t even think about what it means.
![Page 42: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Vocabulary
• Pre-teaching of specific words improves vocabulary learning and reading comprehension
• Use of reference aids• Use of context cues• Use of word parts –prefix, root word, suffix
![Page 43: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Text Comprehension
• Comprehension is the reason for reading
• Systematic instruction in comprehension can help students understand what they read, remember what they read and communicate with others about what they read
• Comprehension skills should be taught during primary grades and as long as students need it
![Page 44: Polly Bayrd, MA, LP Best Practices for Mainstream Modifications for the LD Population Research Based Instruction in Reading](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649d8c5503460f94a73162/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
