Case: Low-ability readers Ms. Reagan is a middle school reading coach who often reads with a huge number of low-ability readers during the day. When she asks her students whether they think they are good readers, most of them tell her, "yes," they read well. What her middle school students do not realize is that they only read on a third grade level. This could explain why these students do not well in their academic classes. What should Ms. Reagan do to help her students learn what a good reader looks like and plan instructions to help them reach a higher level of reading? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Wow! I can relate to this scenario, I teach Fourth Grade Reading and numerous of my students are not reading on grade level. For my students, at the beginning of the year we get a baseline to see where they are currently. We then go over there individual baseline and then set a goal for them to reach. We also do an IDI inventory to see where their disconnect lies. We take the Star Reading test. If their Star test shows they are reading at 400 lexile level then we set the goal for raising that. I model what a good reader thinks, read fluently, and inflection. We practice in small groups or individually on reading, sounding out words, and using fry words. Then we revisit, adjust, and reevaluate their goals as they year goes on. |
