Just a gentle comment - the audience can see Jesse pinned/spotlit but not the speaker. Was that intended?

Thanks JRL, Are you able to see the slides?

Yes

I see the slides and Jesse

Fixed!

Thank you for the feedback.

thanks - zoom now shows Stephanie and the slides

Here’s a brief overview of word reading phases: https://education.ufl.edu/ufli/files/2020/03/EhriPhases.pdf

Will there be a certificate at the end

The clarification between phonological sensitivity and phoneme level awareness is very helpful.

Sorry Ms. Smith! We didn’t create a certificate.

Root cause analysis

Ok but the information is awesome

Check to see if your chat is set to "everyone". We love seeing your comments and questions.

There are a variety of oral reading fluency screening assessments that are great for this purpose. DIBELS (https://dibels.uoregon.edu/materials/dibels) and Acadience (https://acadiencelearning.org/acadience-reading-materials-download/) are two free resources.

What screening assessment do you recommend for Language Comprehension?

CORE phonics survey is published by CORE Literacy: https://www.collaborativeclassroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/CORE-Multiple-Measures-Rev-2nd-Edition-CCC-2020.pdf

thank you!

If you know that a student is starting well below level, should you screen them at a grade below where they are?

automaticity is important

It has to be automatic

automaticity

automatic retrieval of letter sounds supports blending

does letter sound fluency help with automaticity leading to blending

Language comprehension is trickier to screen and assess given that it’s such a vastly complex composite of multiple skills. Vocabulary assessments can be a good proxy for general linguistic comprehension. The CORE assessing reading multiple measures book has a good vocabulary screener. I would also say that a student’s oral reading fluency is actually highly predictive of their general language comprehension as well.

Link to unfamiliar words

Thank you, Jesse. Do you have a link to to the CORE Assessment? I see the link above..but I don’t see the vocabulary part

Just make sure you don’t teach nonsense words in the core instruction…

It’s from a book that you must purchase to have access to most of the assessments. The phonics survey is freely available online, but the other assessments are copyrighted.

I believe if you google it there is a pdf out there of the phonics survey.

Really great Reading has many diagnostics for free

The CORE Assessment book is excellent. We use it in our reading courses at FIU.

scanning & skimming

This sounds very similar to Montessori 3 part lessons

Wonderful framework on ‘instructional hierarchy’ — are there more recent publications on this topic? If not, please write one!

I agree

I know F & P is widely inefficient as far as assessment goes….how do you suggest schools use it to their benefit?

Automaticity

automaticity

automaticity

I would say generalization

automaticity

generalization

They can generalize by manipulating phonemes and graphemes

sorting

connected text

words in sentences

decodable text

Phrases, Sentences, Text

Decidable

read in connected text

sentences

Question: My fear with his is that if a student is in the “Acquisition” phase…that teachers will not give the students grade level content...any thoughts? Thinking about our ELLs

THANK you, something I’ve been saying for years!!!

maybe I'm off base, but I'm visualizing this as more of tier two instruction. if it were tier 2, then the student wouldn't be working with grade level text.

Acquisition

acquistion

decodable word lists

connected text that is controlled for the skill

Reteach

Model and provide examples

generalization

Hi Finnell! Could you put your question in the Q&A so we can address it?

generalization to novel practice

extensions with feedback

Will we be getting this powerpoint?

For students with reading disabilities, the generalization phase is quite challenging to master — are there other strategies other than encouragement and novel contexts that you recommend?

The concept of a visual drill and an auditory drill can be very helpful for letter sound fluency.

Thank you! very informative.

Lastinger Center Literacy Matrix: https://lastinger.center.ufl.edu/literacy/literacy-matrix/

Please remember Dr. Snidarich said she would answer the question if we should use a lower grade screener for students who are clearly not on level.

Thanks, that’s coming up next!

Thank you!

Even though they take time do you recommend an informal reading inventory (IRI) to see the grade level and below?

Good question, Angie. I usually use IRI as a diagnostic

Only for a few students

As do I, just confirming because they are not always accepted by iep

If you don’t use DRA - or something like it, how do you determine what level they are reading on?

I use Dible, Maze and am Wilson Certified, so I use the WIST

I Try to get a complete picture if I can

Thank you

Exactly!

We have been saying this for years about the DRA. If these studies conclude that they aren't as reliable or time is better spent on instruction, why are districts and counties not following suit. These assessments take until mid Oct to finish.

thankyou
