READING AND LITERACY

Attainment’s

PASS

By Froma Roth, Ph.D., Colleen Worthington, M.S., & Gary Troia, Ph.D.

Promoting Awareness of Speech Sounds (PASS) A Phonological Awareness Program for Preschool through Early Elementary

P

romoting Awareness of Speech Sounds (PASS) is the first research-based phonological awareness program for preschoolers that can also be used with early-elementary students struggling with reading. A playful, effective, and highly motivating program, PASS helps young children hear the sounds in words and develop the phonological awareness skills that build a foundation for reading success.

Joining forces with an irresistible puppet—Goldie the golden retriever—you’ll lead activities and crafts that get kids ready to read while they’re having fun. The 76 lessons were specifically designed to teach key early literacy skills identified by the National Reading Panel, including rhyming, segmenting and blending syllables, and segmenting and blending phonemes. Use PASS anywhere young children need phonological awareness interventions—in classrooms or learning centers, in groups or one-to-one instruction.

Why PASS?

3

Proven effective. In studies, children who received PASS instruction did better on multiple measures of emergent literacy than those who received regular classroom instruction.

3

Aligns with Common Core. PASS is research-based and aligns with national standards, including Common Core Standards for English Language Arts.

3

Great for use with RTI. PASS is an effective Tier 2 instructional program that fits right in with your RTI model. (It can also be used as Tier 3 intervention for students with disabilities.)

3

Targets phonological awareness. PASS keeps a tight focus on phonological awareness, an essential building block of early literacy that many children struggle with.

3

Versatile and flexible. PASS is ideal for use with preschoolers, but it’s the first program of its kind that can also be used with early elementary students who struggle with reading skills.

3

Saves you planning time. All the materials and scripted guidelines are included for you, so you can spend less time planning instruction and more time teaching.

3

Enriches your existing curriculum. There’s no need to stop what you’re doing—PASS is a perfect complement to your current early literacy program.

3

Explicitly addresses national Head Start and state Preschool Learning Fundamentals outcomes in Language and Literacy, and supports Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Creative Arts Expression, and Physical Development and Health.

READING AND LITERACY

Story Friends™

An Early Literacy Intervention for Improving Oral Language

NEW

By Howard Goldstein, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, & Elizabeth Spencer Kelley, Ph.D., CCC-SLP

H

ow do children become successful readers? It’s a story that starts in their earliest years, when they acquire the foundational language and literacy skills they’ll use for the rest of their lives.

Sometimes, though, the story gets off track when young children start struggling with oral language skills—one of the most important predictors of later reading success. How can your program intervene early and keep these kids from falling behind? Your solution is here, and it’s called Story Friends™.

What is Story Friends?

Story Friends is the first research-based Tier 2 language intervention program for 4- to 6-year-old children at risk for reading difficulties.

Through interactive animal-themed storybooks and lively, engaging audio recordings, Story Friends effectively boosts oral language and vocabulary development and teaches children key concepts they need for social and academic success.

Using Story Friends is easy as 1-2-3: 1. Identify: First, you’ll identify children who will benefit from using Story Friends. You can use information from universal screening and progress monitoring assessments, as well as the screening questionnaire included in the Story Friends program.

2. Implement: Deliver the Story Friends intervention in your classroom’s listening center in 10- to 15-minute sessions, with a facilitator guiding and monitoring the session. In small groups, children listen to recorded stories on your classroom’s headphones as they follow along in printed storybooks. Each book has a cast of likeable animal characters and colorful illustrations kids will love. As children listen, the narrator prompts them to interact with the book by participating in multisensory vocabulary activities and responding to comprehension questions. This expands children’s early language and literacy skills and promotes critical thinking.

3. Assess: In Story Friends, learning of instructional targets is assessed using curriculum-based measures. You’ll administer progress monitoring assessments: Unit Vocabulary and pre- and post- Concept Words Assessments.

3

Hooks and holds young attention spans with colorful illustrations, rhyming text, interactive story components, and appealing narration from Wanda the Word Wolf

3

Fits into your existing schedule and can be used with your current classroom curriculum

Requires no special training—just follow the simple implementation guidelines in the Teacher Guide and the online professional development modules

ow well is your early childhood program implementing quality inclusive practices? Now there’s a comprehensive, field-tested observational tool that uncovers the answers. A one-of-a-kind tool for classrooms serving children ages 2-5, the Inclusive Classroom Profile (ICP™) assesses 12 key practices with the strongest research base for supporting the education and development of young children in inclusive programs:

ICP

“A long-awaited resource that encourages educators, professional development providers, and administrators to reflect on how to promote young children with disabilities’ active participation in inclusive early childhood programs.”

Adaptations of Space, Materials, and Equipment Adult Involvement in Peer Interactions Adults’ Guidance of Children’s Free-Choice Activities and Play Conflict Resolution Membership Relationships between Adults and Children Support for Communication Adaptation of Group Activities Transitions between Activities Feedback Family–Professional Partnerships Monitoring Children’s Learning

HOW IT WORKS

For accurate results, the ICP is conducted by a trained outside observer, such as a technical assistance professional or administrator. The observer conducts the three parts of the ICP: a classroom observation scheduled during everyday routines; a face-to-face interview with the teacher; and a documentation review of the program’s policies, screeners and assessments, and child intervention plans. Comprehensive assessment with the ICP takes about 3½ hours, plus 20 minutes to score.

BENEFITS

The in-depth ICP evaluation process gives you the rich information and insights you need to: • assess your program’s current inclusive practices • establish a baseline for measuring future progress • apply recommended inclusive practices for young children • guide quality improvement efforts by linking assessment data with instructional decision-making • tailor professional development to teachers’ specific needs The ICP is also a perfect companion to popular early childhood inclusion guides like Building Blocks for Teaching Preschoolers with Special Needs (page 5). Determine your strengths and needs with the ICP, and then find effective inclusion strategies in Building Blocks.

SEAM™ IS A TWO-PART ASSESSMENT:

SEAM™ Tool. The main SEAM™ includes three intervals with different developmental ranges: Infant (2–18 months), Toddler (18–36 months), and Preschool (36–66 months). Each interval assesses 10 child benchmarks critical to social-emotional competence, including empathy, adaptive skills, self-image, emotional responses, and healthy interactions with others. The SEAM™ system also includes SEAM™ with Ages, an alternate version of the tool annotated with a helpful list of age ranges for each item. This version makes it easy to give caregivers general guidance on how social-emotional skills typically develop and where their child’s development fits on the continuum.

SEAM™ Family Profile. The Family Profile assesses parent/caregiver strengths and helps identify areas in which they need more supports to foster their child’s social-emotional skills. Like the SEAM™, the Family Profile assessment includes three intervals—Infant, Toddler, and Preschool. Each interval measures four benchmarks: responding to needs, providing activities and play, providing predictable routines and an appropriate environment, and ensuring home safety.

Observe how teachers support social-emotional competence BESTSELLER Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT™) for Preschool Classrooms Research Edition

“An indispensable tool for early childhood programs seeking to optimize social, emotional, and behavioral development.”

D

—Glen Dunlap, University of South Florida and University of Nevada, Reno

eveloped by highly respected creators of the Pyramid Model for Promoting Social Emotional Competence In Infants and Young Children, the TPOT™ is an in-depth observation tool that measures how well teachers are implementing all three levels of the model: universal, targeted, and individualized supports. A trained administrator conducts a classroom observation and teacher interview, uncovering detailed information about the quality of 14 key teaching practices, noting red flags that indicate areas for immediate support, and observing how teachers respond to challenging behaviors. TPOT™ results show schools which practices are being implemented successfully—and what teachers need to focus on to ensure positive social-emotional outcomes for young children ages 2–5.

TPOT™ helps programs:

HOW IT HELPS YOUR PROGRAM

1. Better assessments through the power of play. During a fun and naturalistic play session, professionals assess development in 4 key areas while the child plays with family members and a team play facilitator. Because children stay relaxed and engaged, focusing on what they can do instead of what they can’t, TPBA2 elicits more meaningful and accurate results than many traditional assessment strategies.

2. Positive, playful interventions that improve real-world skills. After the play session results are reviewed, it’s easy to link TPBA2’s assessment data to individualized, play-based intervention activities. TPBI2 shows you how to partner with parents to tailor a unique program of activities that work with their child’s strengths, interests, and learning processes. Interventions fit right into the family’s daily routines.

3. Affordable and convenient staff training. Get the Observing Kassandra DVD for a convenient, cost-effective way to practice skills in a simulated TPBA2 session.
