  2. Dyslexia page was last modified Oct. 8, 2011 • Dyslexia is a broad term defining a learning disability that impairs a person's fluency or comprehension accuracy in being able to read,[1] and which can manifest itself as a difficulty with phonological awareness, phonological decding, othographic coding, auditory shot-term memory or rapid naming.[2][3] Dyslexia is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading istruction.[4][5] It is believed that dyslexia can affect between 5 to 10 percent of a given population although there have been no studies to indicate an accurate percentage.[6][7][8]

  3. LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION Skilled Reading- fluent coordination of word reading and comprehension processes BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE LANGUAGE STRUCTURES VERBAL REASONING LITERACY KNOWLEDGE SKILLED increasingly strategic WORD RECOGNITION PHON. AWARENESS DECODING (and SPELLING) SIGHT RECOGNITION increasingly automatic The Many Strands that are Woven into Skilled Reading (Scarborough, 2001)

  4. Effective Reading Instruction “Reading instruction effectiveness lies not with a single program or method but, rather, with a teacher (parents) who thoughtfully and analytically integrates various program, materials, and methods as the situation demands.” (Duffy & Hoffman)

  5. Reading Instruction Must be Integrated from KG- G12 • If a critical component is missing, students who are at risk will not develop the essential skill • Success and failure in reading are opposite sides of the same coin- it’s the same theory, not two theories, one for success and another for failure • Instruction is the key!

  6. Many people who struggle with reading….. ….. . are delayed in the development of phonemic awareness. have had less exposure to print and the alphabet. have vocabulary that are usually less well developed – ½ in poor children compared to other children. have a range of experience and conceptual knowledge that is often limited or different compared to other students.

  7. What the National Reading Panel Says About the Role of Vocabulary in Reading Instruction http://www.nationalreadingpanel.org/

  8. What the National Reading Panel Says About the Role of Vocabulary in Reading Instruction Learning in rich contextsis valuable for vocabulary learning. Vocabulary words should be those that the learner will find useful in many contexts. When vocabulary items are derived from content learning materials, the learner will be better equipped to deal with specific reading matter in content areas. http://www.nationalreadingpanel.org/

  9. What the National Reading Panel Says About the Role of Vocabulary in Reading Instruction There is a need for direct instructionof vocabulary items required for each specific text. Repetition and multiple exposureto vocabulary items are important. Students should be given items that will be likely to appear in many contexts. (Reprinted from National Reading Panel, 2000, p. 4-4) http://www.nationalreadingpanel.org/

  10. Reading Comprehension Non-Negotiables A student must be able to read correctly, approximately 95 percent, of the words accurately in text to comprehend what is read. MOREOVER, to comprehend, a student must know the meanings of 90 to 95 percent of the words being read.

  11. What does it take to comprehend text? • Readers who read well are active readers • Readers who have clear goals in mind for their reading comprehend well. • They constantly evaluate whether the text, and their reading of it, is meeting their goals. • Readers who read well typically look over the text before they read, noting such things as the structure of the text and text sections that might be most relevant to their reading goals.

  12. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ? Read different kinds of text differently. For example, when reading narrative, attend closely to the setting and characters When reading expository text the readerfrequently construct and revise summaries of what they have read. Expository text is nonfiction reading material. The intent of these written works is to inform as a fact text processing occurs not only during ‘reading’ as we have traditionally defined it, but also during short breaks taken during reading, and even after the ‘reading’ itself has commenced.  (started)

  13. Reading Fluency • Fluency is partly an outcome of word recognition (Could make developing Speed into a game!) • “ability to read connected text rapidly, smoothly, effortlessly, and automatically with little conscious attention to decoding” (Meyer, 2002) • “rate and accuracy in oral reading” (Shinn et al., 1992) • “ immediate result of word recognition proficiency” (NRP, 2000)

  14. Why have we, as a Nation, not met our reading goal? • The sheer magnitude of the reading crisis in America • The sheer complexity of reading development and reading difficulties vary • The complexity of an effective classroom with effective leadership in the school (implementation: time, $, people power)

  15. http://www.rfbd.org/ Reading for the Blind and Dyslexia, DVD and Books on Tape made a huge difference in Kyle’s and my life.

  16. Example:Phonological Awareness: Students learn to identify and manipulate the sounds in spoken words including skills such as oral segmenting and oral blending. Letter Sounds: Students learn to say the most common sound for printed letters. Sounding Out: Students learn to decode printed regular wordsWord Recognition: Students learn to recognize common regular words by sight www.freereading.org

  18. Response-to-InterventionRequires • High quality core reading instruction. • High quality core is differentiated. • Differentiation requires adjusting instruction based on student performance data. • Students with performance indicating risk for failure receive additional small group instruction (Tier 2)
