Conceptual Underpinnings
Reading Recovery is based upon ten principles and the success of the program lies within the integration of these principles with careful, sensitive application throughout the 30 minute Reading Recovery lesson. Each lesson looks differently for each child who is learning to read and write. (The ten principles are Phonological Awareness, Visual Perception of Letters, Word Recognition, Phonics and Decoding, Phonics and Structural Analysis, Fluency, Comprehension, Balanced and Structured Approach, Early Intervention, and Individual Tutoring.) Phonemic Awareness- Phonological Awareness is the awareness that language is composed of sounds and the understanding of the relationship …show more content…

In Reading Recovery lessons, children are explicitly taught how to use letter-sound relationships to construct words in writing and to analyze words while reading. In order to accomplish these complex analyses, specific instruction is utilized to help children think about the order of sounds in spoken words and to analyze the word into the sequence of sounds. From the story that a child writes, the teacher selects two or three words that will be illustrative of the process. At first, the teacher chooses words in which it is easy to hear the sounds, which the child will need to use often, and which have simple letter-sound relationships.
Early Intervention- Reading Recovery is specifically designed to accomplish the goal of undercutting reading failure. It is not a classroom program, nor is it aligned with any particular classroom program. It is an early intervention with one clear goal: to dramatically reduce the number of learners who have extreme difficulty with literacy learning and the cost of these learners to educational systems (Clay, 1995). Reading Recovery is a relatively brief (12 to 20 weeks) intervention program. Children are entered into Reading Recovery at a critical time in their school careers (age six or during first

  • The Crisis in Adolescent Literacy

    2250 Words  | 5 Pages

    With such high numbers of adolescents falling below basic in reading, illiteracy is a battle that must be fought head on. The largest dilemma with the struggle is the number of variations that cause adolescents to become reluctant, unmotivated or struggling readers. Fortunately, a large number of strategies exist to encourage and strengthen readers of all ages, proving that adolescence is not a time to give up on faltering students. Rather, it is a time to evaluate and intervene in an effort to turn a reluctant reader into an avid one (or near enough). Ultimately, educators must learn to properly assess a student’s strengths and weaknesses (Curtis, 2009) and pair them with the proper intervention techniques. If one method does not work, countless others exist to take its place.

    According to research, over the period of the 1984-2012, the Reading Recovery program resulted in over 77% of participants who completed the intervention met the grade-level expectations in reading and writing. In addition to Reading Recovery, Brian received adjusted spelling tests where the number of correct letters were credited rather than correct words. Although, the continuous progress classroom consists of third, fourth, and fifth graders, the Reading Recovery program is specifically for younger children; therefore, appears inappropriate given Brian’s grade. Since Brian demonstrates no conspicuous progress in his reading difficulties based on the instructional modifications administered, the author concludes the modifications as ineffective; therefore suggests further

    RAVE-O functions as a small group reading intervention program. The instruction in each unit was designed to be concise, explicit, consistent, and easy to follow. The instruction was designed to progress and explicitly connect every aspect of a word as it is encountered. It has “interactive, multi-sensory activities and whimsy-filled strategies that enhance students’ abilities to decode, read fluently, understand, remember, and enjoy what they read” (Wolf, 2011). RAVE-O consists of 16 units, with three to six lessons per unit. Every day in every unit, RAVE-O’s multi-sensory activities and Minute Stories are to strengthen the attention and memory of struggling readers. The overall progress within a unit moves from accuracy to fluency to fluent comprehension.

  • Adolescent Illiteracy in America

    The causes of reading difficulties often arise because of learning disabilities such as dyslexia, poor preparation before entering school, no value for literacy, low school attendance, insufficient reading instruction, and/or even the way students were taught to read in the early grades. The struggles that students “encounter in school can be seen as socially constructed-by the ways in which schools are organized and scheduled, by assumptions that are made about home life and school abilities, by a curriculum that is often devoid of connections to students’ lives, and by text that may be too difficult for students to read” (Hinchman, and Sheridan-Thomas166). Whatever the reason for the existence of the reading problem initially, by “the time a [student] is in the intermediate grades, there is good evidence that he will show continued reading g...

  • Emerging Literacy

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    Children who have been introduced to storybook and complex oral language often learn to read and write much quicker. It is important for children to have knowledge of the critical elements which promote these early reading and writing skills (Effective Elements of Early Literacy, n.d.). These elements include: awareness of print, relationship of print to oral language, understanding the structure of texts, letter knowledge, ability to use decontextualized oral language, and phonological awareness. Awareness of print is critical because it is one of the first steps toward later reading and writing (Effective Elements of Early Literacy, n.d.). Awareness of print starts early in a child’s left because children begin noticing signs, symbols, and labels at a young age. Having a relationship of print to oral language is the second key to reading and writing because young children begin to learn the similarities of oral language and print (Effective Elements of Early Literacy, n.d.). Understanding the structure of text is the third key because certain structural elements, such as temporal markers, are features that remain consistent (Effective Elements of Early Literacy, n.d.). Letter knowledge is another critical element because one of the beginning reader’s biggest responsibilities is to figure out how our alphabetic language works (Wood & McLemore, 2001). Decontextualized language is important because it helps

    Four phases of reading development have been established (Ehri 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999) : pre-alphabetic, partial alphabetic, full alphabetic and consolidated alphabetic. These phases has led to the core understanding of children's reading development, apart from the pre-alphabetic phase phonological awareness skills are seen throughout the phases.

    Phonemic Awareness and Alphabetic Principle in addition to Phonics and Decoding Skills provide students with early skills of understanding letters and words in order to build their reading and writing skills. Students will need to recognize how letters make a sound in order to form a word. While each word has a different meaning to be to format sentences. While reading strategies for Reading Assessment and Instruction, I was able to find three strategies for Phonemic Awareness and three strategies for Alphabetic Principles which will provide advantage for the student in my research and classroom settings.

    The FLaRE (Florida Literacy and Reading Excellence) Center has published a professional paper entitled “Phonemic Awareness” of which I will be presenting a critical review. Phonemic awareness is one of the five essential components of reading identified by the National reading Panel (Learning Point Associates, 2004). Phonemic awareness can be defined as a person’s understanding that each word we speak is comprised of individual sounds called phonemes and that these sounds can be blended to form different words (Learning Point Associates, 2004). The article was intended to give a synopsis of phonemic awareness and the vital role it plays in a literacy program. I found the article to be very clear and concise presenting valuable tactics that can be applied in the classroom.

    Fluency in reading and writing involves many steps that can be taught at home or in the classroom. An activity that involves cut-up sentences into phrases is a productive activity for children who are having difficulty with reading fluency. When reading continuous print, children seem to forget what they know. It is quite common that they forget, in the moment, about the letters, sounds and words they already learned. When we test in isolation, most students seem to know letter-sound relationships, phonograms, or high-frequency words; however a reader is required to use both

  • Six Components of Reading

    1759 Words  | 4 Pages

    Reading is a complex process that’s difficult to explain linearly. A student’s reading capabilities begin development long before entering the school setting and largely start with exposure (Solley, 2014). The first remnants of what children are able to do in terms of reading are built from their parents and other people and object around them as they’re read to, spoken to, and taken from place to place to see new things (Solley, 2014). As kids are exposed to more and more their noises quickly turn into intentional comprehensible messages and their scribbling begins to take the form of legible text as they attempt to mimic the language(s) they’re exposed to daily.

  • Phonemic Awareness

    According to Bursuck & Damer (2011) phonemes are “the smallest individual sounds in words spoken.” Phonemic awareness is the “ability to hear the phonemes and manipulate the sounds” (p. 41). Phonemic awareness is essential because without the ability students are not able to manipulate the sounds. According to the National Institute for Literacy (2007), “students with poor phonics skills prevent themselves from reading grade-level text and are unable to build their vocabulary” (p.5) Agreeing with the importance of phonemic awareness, Shapiro and Solity attempted to use whole class instruction to improve students’ phonological awareness. The intervention showed that whole class instruction assisted not only the students with poor phonemic awareness, but also on-level developing readers.

    Reading and writing is a key part of everyone’s life. There has been some encouraging levels of reading development in primary school assessments. According to the National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy report (2015), 95.5% of students achieve at or above the national minimum standard of reading. It is important to know effective ways to teach reading so children can become active problem solvers to enable them to read for meaning or for fun. Over the years, there has been a big amount of research into the most effective ways to teach reading skills to students. There are some systematically taught key skills and strategies that help achieve these levels of reading. Some of these skills include phonological awareness, phonemic awareness,

  • The Importance Of Reading Interventions

    895 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many students have a hard time when it comes to reading. There are many reading inventions that can help students out. Reading inventions are strategies that help students who are having trouble reading. The interventions are techniques that can be used to assist in one on ones with students or working in small groups to help students become a better reader. Hannah is a student who seems to be struggling with many independent reading assignments. There can be many reasons that Hannah is struggling with the independent reading assignments. One of the reasons that Hannah can be struggling with is reading comprehension while she is reading on her on. Reading comprehension is when students are able to read something, they are able to process it and they are able to understand what the text is saying. According to article Evidence-based early reading practices within a response to intervention system, it was mentioned that research strategies that can use to help reading comprehension can include of activating the student’s background knowledge of the text, the teacher can have questions that the student answer while reading the text, having students draw conclusions from the text, having
