  2. Background • Our Schoolwide Data Team decided to form a subcommittee to look into how we could reach goal #1 on the School Improvement Plan • Percentage of students receiving free and reduced meals who score goal and higher in reading will increase from 33% to 51% over a three year period.

  3. What Does Research Say About Independent Reading? The amount of time students spent in independent reading was the best predictor of reading achievement and also the best predictor of the amount of gain in reading achievement made by students between second and fifth grade. Anderson, Wilson, and Fielding (1988)

  4. What Does Research Say About Independent Reading? • If children read 1 million words in a year, at least 1,000 words will be added to their vocabulary. • When books are readily available, when the print environment is rich, more reading is done. • Access to a school library results in more reading. • Children read more when they listen to stories and discuss stories. (Krashen, 1993)

  5. NUA 5 Critical Experiences • Responding to a variety of texts • Sustained reading of a variety of self-selected texts • Composing: Oral and Written • In a variety of modalities • Studying and mastering language patterns • Learning how to learn
