  1. The Reading Reach Task Force Charge The Reading Reach Task Force will undertake a process of systematic inquiry into the teaching of reading in RRVEC elementary schools. Our purpose is to identify and eliminate gaps that exists between what we know and learn to be exemplary reading practices and instruction and actual reading practices found across schools and classrooms in RRVEC school districts.

  2. Reading Reach Task Force Objective Propose a Reading Improvement Action Plan outlining the steps necessary to ensure that no less than 80% of students in RRVEC schools are proficient readers by the end of third grade, as measured by state tests administered during the 2014-2015 school year.

  5. An Unhappy Fact In the majority of cases, the reading achievement of elementary schools can be predicted based on the demographic profile of its students.

  6. A State of Quasi-Stationary Equilibrium Although this is a relatively stable state, movement can be achieved altering the factors currently contributing to this equilibrium. We often refer to this state as the Status Quo.

  7. How could we upset this quasi- equilibrium? • What effective strategies could we be using that we are not currently using? Or actions we are not currently taking that would improve reading performance? • Are there things that we are doing that we should discontinue? Or, strategies and approaches being used that don’t work?

  8. Our HypothesisWhen schools put into place a “critical mass” of exemplary reading conditions and instructional practices, the current state of equilibrium that has been holding poor reading outcomes in place will be upset. The scale will be tipped and the reading proficiency of its students will increase significantly, making it impossible to predict the performance of the school based on its demographic profile. Easily, 80% or more of students will be proficient in reading.
