Core Program

A core program is the “base” reading program designed to provide instruction on the essential areas of reading for the majority of students schoolwide. In general, the core program should enable 80% or more of students to attain schoolwide reading goals.

A Core Instructional Program of Validated Efficacy Adopted and Implemented Schoolwide

• A rate of 80% has been suggested by many researchers and policy makers nationally, as the rate needed for Core Instruction

• Is there a discrepancy between what is expected (~80) and what is occurring (your school’s performance)

Using a Standards-Based approach

• High risk: Count the number of students scoring at the Below Basic on ISAT correlates.Determine percentage. Is it 15% or higher?

Percentile Rank Cut Scores:Percentile rank scores are derived scores that indicate the percentage of people in the norming sample that scored at or below a given raw score. Percentile rank scores for at risk students typically are derived from local norms, but Aimsweb national norms can be used.

Problem Analysis

Foundational Concepts –

Tier 1

Tier 1. Problem Analysis

What is the problem?

If there is a Tier 1 concern…

There are generally 3 ways to address this concern:

1. Explore and adopt a new Core curriculum2. Implement your Tier 1 curriculum with

higher integrity (Use Instructional Planning Form, treatment integrity forms, and Principal Walk Throughs)

3. Supplement your Core curriculum with robust, research-based interventions and instructional enhancements

Potential Hypotheses

1. Core program is missing most instructional elements necessary for our students. (Adopt a new core.)

2. Core program is missing some instructional elements necessary for our students- more reinforcement and/or practice is needed. (Supplement your core.)

3. Core program is not implemented with fidelity. (Implement with higher integrity.)

III. Instructional Programs and Materials - The instructional programs and materials have documented efficacy, are drawn from research-based findings and practices, align with state standards and benchmarks, and support the full range of learners.

1. A comprehensive or core reading program with documented research-based efficacy is adopted for use school wide (x 3).

2. The instructional program and materials provide explicit and systematic instruction on critical reading priorities (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) (x 2).

3. The instructional materials and program align with and support state standards/scientifically based practices and provide sufficient instruction in essential elements to allow the majority of students to reach learning goals.

4. Supplemental and intervention programs of documented efficacy are in place to support students who do not benefit adequately from the core program (x 2).

5. Programs and materials are implemented with a high level of fidelity (x 3).

What Criteria….

Differentiate High SES communities from Low SES communities??

Educationally, the main criteria are background knowledge and language development. The lower the SES, the MORE systematic and explicit interventions need to be in all 5 big areas of reading.

PROGRESS MONIT ORING is also considered an intervention in itself as well as an avenue for measuring intervention effectiveness.

Michael Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Program (Phonemic Awareness) This research-based curriculum is suited for K-2 students and contains daily phonemic awareness lesson plans developed on a systematic scope and sequence of skills with explicit modeling. This curriculum is intended to be done with a whole c lass group and should take between 12 -15 minutes a day. S tudents who are struggling can benefit from multiple, repeated exposures to these lessons in a small group setting. Jolly Phonics (Phonemic Awareness, Phonics) Jolly Phonics is a fun, multi -sensory and child-centered approach to teachin g literacy. This research-based program provides systematic instruction of the 42 main letter sounds as well as digraphs. It uses different multi-sensory methods, children are taught how to form and write letters. As soon as the letter sounds are known, children are taught how to blend them to read and write words. Children are also taught how to hear the different soun ds in words. This is an effective w ay of improving spelling. Tricky words have irregular spellings and children are taught how to learn these separately. As these basic but e ssential phonics skills are taught so rapidly, the children are able to move on to more cr eative writing processes faster and the higher-order reading comprehension strategies can be taught earlier. Great Leaps (Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency) Students work individuall y with an instructor and t he materials for less than ten minutes per day (three da ys per week minimum). The material s (one instruc tor's manual and one student notebook) ar e age appropriate and comprehe nsive. For example, the high school book can take a non -reading high school student to independent reading status. (Depend ing on the severity of the reading problem, one to two school years is the average length on intervention.) Great Leaps i s divided int o three major areas: ( 1) Phonics: developing and mastering essential sight-sound relationships and/or sound awareness skills; (2) Sight Phrases: mastering sight words while developing and improving focusing skills; and (3) Reading Fluency: usin g age-appropriate stories specifically designed to build reading fluency, reading motivation, and proper intonation.

Examining Treatment Integrity1. Teacher self-report/implementation logs:

– Teacher may be interviewed regarding steps followed during intervention or keep a log of the steps implemented

2. Ratings scales:– Written step-by-step intervention plan can be used as a

checklist & implementer would complete checklist

3. Direct Observation:– Of teacher behavior could be conducted periodically during

intervention (use of IPF)

4. Permanent Products:– Teacher/student created products that would demonstrate the

intervention components were implemented
