PHASE 1 ASSESSMENT

AND ORGANIZATIO

N

•How should I group students?•What text should I use with each group?•What strategy should I teach next?

Jan Richardson “The Next Step in GR”, 2009

BEGIN WITH ASSESSMENT

EMERGENT AND EARLY READERS• What do they know about letters, words and text?

– Letter ID (visual and auditory)– Word Reading and Writing– Text Reading (Concepts about Print and Running Record)– Comprehension Check– Writing Sample/Dictation

TRANSITIONAL AND FLUENT READERS (LEVEL I AND UP)• What strategies do they use on text? (Running Record)• What do they know about how words work? (Phonics

Assessment)• How well do they comprehend what they read?

(comprehension Rubric)

READING LEVELS (FOUNTAS AND PINNELL)

Independent Level

Text

Instructional Level Text

Frustration Level Text

Relatively easy text, with no more than approximately one error in twenty words, good comprehension. (95% success)

Challenging but manageable text, with no more than approximately one error in ten words good comprehension. (90% success)

Problematic text, with more than one in ten words difficult for the reader (less than 90% success)

ORGANIZATION

• All materials well organized• Lesson plan for each group• All lesson components covered• Pacing is adequate, stays within 20 minute timeframe• Students engaged with continuous text at the appropriate level• Teacher is listening in with each student• Small groups are differentiated

DECISION MAKING

SETTING A FOCUS AND MAKING TEACHING DECISIONS BASED ON DATA

ARTICULATING READING BEHAVIORS•What do the readers do at difficulty? When it is easy?•What do they need to do next? •What is my priority for instruction?

STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINING READINGREADING FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS

• Emergent behaviors under control– 1 to 1, Directionality, Concepts about Print, Letter Knowledge,

Word Knowledge• Detecting and Correcting Error (monitoring)• Self correcting• Cross Checking: Searching for and Using two sources of Information• Problem Solving New Words• Maintaining Fluency

“Guiding Readers and Writers”Fountas and Pinnell, 2001

STRATEGIES FOR EXPANDING MEANING• Predicting• Making Connections• Inferring• Synthesizing• Analyzing• Critiquing

ANALYZING DATA SOURCES

Can teachers describe reading behaviors accurately?

PLANNING A LESSON• Know the reading level of the group• Choose your focus based on data • Pick a book that matches reading level and will build

on processing strengths ( may be shared for Pre A)• Read through the lens of your students• Plan intro, word work or phonemic awareness and

teaching points• Reflect: What did the students learn to do today that

they couldn’t do yesterday?

ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE LESSONMrs. K has a group of students that neglects meaning when trying to problem solve on difficult words. They try to sound everything out using visual information, but do not consider what would make sense to help them problem solve. (Running Records)They also struggle with vowel teams in the middle of words.Her focus is using meaning to self monitor, then confirm with cross checking the visual information.

Guided Practice with feedback

Independent practice with feedback

How will you teach this behavior?

Why did you make these choices before the reading?How will they support strategic processing? How will you prompt

students?How will your reinforce students?During and after the reading….

TEACHER PROMPTS ARE A CALL TO ACTION
