The Triad Summarizer as a Critical Thinking Reading
Strategy
Catalina High SchoolJanuary 4, 2012
Table Talk
At your table discuss:
1. What do you notice about how your students’ tackle reading?
2. What is the biggest challenge children face in terms of reading grade level texts?
2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress
31 Percent of Arizona 8th grade readers below Basic
Why Do We Need National Common Core Standards?
AZ State Test – 69% Proficient
NAEP – 27% Proficient
The Impact of Limited Literacy Development on Arizona’s Children, Society, and Economy
•Nearly 24,700 students did not graduate form Arizona’s high schools in 2010. The lost lifetime earnings n Arizona for that class of dropouts alone total over $6.4 billion. The majority of these students had limited reading skills.
•Arizona could save as much as $265 million in health care costs over the lifetime of each class of dropouts had they earned their diplomas.
•If Arizona’s high schools graduated all of their students ready for college, the state could save as much as $104 million a year in community college remediation costs and lost earnings.
•Arizona’s economy could see a combination of crime-related savings and additional revenue of about $184 million each year if the male high school graduation rate increased by just 5 percent.
Critical “Takeaways” From the NAEP DataThe NAEP is as much a language and critical thinking measure as a measure of essential “reading skills”. Low scores on the NAEP can be predicted by difficulties in:
Word reading skills
and/or vocabulary limitations
and/or reading fluency
and/or background knowledge
and/or insufficient use of reading comprehension strategies
Mismatch between text characteristics within NAEP questions and text characteristics of student’s instructional texts
Mismatch between the level of cognitive complexity within NAEP questions and the cognitive complexity of students’ instructional texts.
