RESOURCES FOR THE BIG SIX The most recent research into the effective teaching of reading indicates that there are six interrelated components that contribute to learning to read, described as the BIG SIX. These six components are elements of the Simple View of Reading model (Gough and Tunmer, 1986).

Decoding x Language Comprehension = Reading Comprehension What resources do you need to support the Big Six components?

Take a look below at the way Scholastic literacy resources have explicit teaching opportunities for the Big Six. Systematic phonics taught through Scholastic decodables.

Shared Reading and Poetry are rich models of language.

FOUNDATION

ESTABLISH MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATIONS WITH PR1ME The first year of school is critical to establishing the building blocks for mathematical understanding and thinking. To begin this learning journey, PR1ME Foundation provides blended digital and print resources that use the proven pedagogy of the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (C-P-A) Approach and focus on mathematical thinking and problem solving.

PR1ME Foundation has two main components the digital Interactive Teacher’s Resource (ITR) and the print Core Books.

INTERACTIVE TEACHER’S RESOURCE The Interactive Teacher’s Resource (ITR) serves as the cornerstone of Foundation, seamlessly connecting its components and helping teachers bring lessons to life.

PROVEN PEDAGOGY UNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS PR1ME’s pedagogy is based on the approach to teaching mathematics that is used in the top-performing nations in primary mathematics, including Singapore. Based on research, it uses the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (C-P-A) approach. The approach makes immediate and explicit links to anchor students’ real-world, hands-on experiences to pictorial representations and abstract mathematical language.

A spiral curriculum scaffolds new learning and so develops deep understanding.

According to the Simple View of Reading, beginning readers need both decoding skills and language understanding together to develop students’ reading. Scholastic Decodable Readers provide resources to support the systematic development of decoding skills: • Carefully structured/ sequenced decodable texts

• A wide selection of diverse and inclusive stories

• Bright/contemporary illustrations.

DELIVERY! FICTION (SET 11, BOOK 3)

Illustrations are fun and enhance the text to tell the story without providing cues for children to guess words.

UNUSUAL STRUCTURES NONFICTION (SET 13, BOOK 2)

Language conventions and visual features of narrative and informative texts are clearly demonstrated.

MONITOR achievement of reading goals

LITERACY PRO IS POWERED BY THE LEXILE FRAMEWORK ® * The Lexile Framework ® has been developed by MetaMetrics Inc, based on 30-plus years of research.

MATCH

The Lexile data in Literacy Pro measures two critical aspects relevant to reading comprehension development:

students to ‘good fit’ books

1. Student Reading Ability—through the Lexile test 2. Text Complexity—analysis of Lexile level of books and other texts.

Literacy Pro begins with an online, adaptive assessment to measure a student’s reading comprehension. It determines the level of text complexity a student can read and understand in the form of a student Lexile®.

Students search online for a good fit book. They: • Search for books they CAN read in their Lexile® reading range

Meaghan Price, Birdwood Primary School, South Australia

LITERACY PRO

• Use interest categories to help them find a book they WANT to read.

“Literacy Pro has been an absolute game changer in my classroom.

Now, we can confidently select texts that build confidence, enhance skills, and match interests perfectly.”

READ IN THE STUDENT’S LEXILE RANGE

MATCH STUDENTS TO GOOD-FIT BOOKS

To match students with books they can read and comprehend confidently, Literacy Pro uses the their Lexile range and interests.

Student Interests + Lexile Range = Good-Fit Books A student’s Lexile range is from about 100L below their Lexile to about 50L above. If students read books within this range, research shows that they are expected to read and comprehend confidently and independently.

Another factor that enhances enjoyment of reading and comprehension is that the book being read is about a topic of student interest.

MATCH students to ‘good fit’ books

So, when students log into Literacy Pro, they will find a list of recommended titles within their Lexile range and interests on their Home page.

TRACK AND ASSESS INDEPENDENT READING GROWTH

DATA TO INFORM TEACHING AND REPORTING

THE LITPRO TEST The LitPro Test is an adaptive, online test of over 5,000 items. It assesses independent reading comprehension on the Lexile scale. It is often taken 3 to 4 times a year to track reading growth.

“Teachers can monitor student home reading in a way that is useful, as they have access to meaningful data, not just a meaningless list of books read and perhaps not even comprehended.”

Danielle Howton, Honeywood Primary

There are several reports that monitor student reading development at the year, class and/or student level.

These include: the Lexile Growth Report, which compares the result of the first Lit Pro test to the most recent test the Reading Proficiency Report, which compares students’ Lexiles with the reading expectations for their Year level

Matching students to texts at appropriate levels helps to increase their confidence, competence, and control over the reading process. Lexile®* is a reliable and tested tool designed to bridge two critical aspects of student reading achievement—levelling text difficulty and assessing the reading skills of each student.

We’ll make our way down into that, and try and find some sort of shelter, a cave or hole with a dry floor to it, out of the snow and the wind, and there we’ll have a good rest before we try again, for we’re both of us pretty dead beat.

FLUENCY

The Key Links Shared Books and Poetry Cards are full of rhythmical, rhyming language and humour.

Children are enticed to read and re-read these texts over several days: Day 1: Comprehension Day 2: Vocabulary Day 3: Flow, phrasing and fluency Day 4: Phonic knowledge and phonemic awareness Day 5: Oral, written and visual language.

For Emergent to Early titles, the prompts in the Focus Panels for the Explicit Group Reading books from Magenta to Green invite students to preview, view and review these texts through active discussion. The focus is on ‘learning to read’, and the texts are tightly scaffolded to ensure early reading success.

As the focus shifts to ‘reading to learn’ for the fluency titles, students continue to be involved in thinking and talking about what and how they read. In addition, the titles from Orange to Sapphire provide models that help students understand the different types of text structures and writing techniques used by good writers.

“ Time-poor teachers need the very best support to ensure reading success for all students. After working with teachers for many years, I know that teachers need more support today than ever before due to the pressures and challenges of today’s classrooms.

Key Links provides teachers with explicit guidance on every page, in every book.”

INTO CONNECTORS

BY JILL EGGLETON

Merging oral language and comprehension strategies through Reciprocal Reading Into Connectors and Connectors by Jill Eggleton actively develop oral language skills and comprehension strategies for independent readers.

Students are engaged in reading short, topical texts that stimulate discussion.

These texts have been specifically designed to be used with an approach based on Reciprocal Reading, which is well-researched and proven to improve comprehension.

COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES For each text, students explicitly use the comprehension strategies used in Reciprocal Reading: • Predict • Clarify • Ask Questions • Summarise

INTO CONNECTORS

AND in Connectors additional comprehension strategies are made explicit: • Make Connections • Form Opinions • Visualise • Make Inferences (Series 2)

SHORT READS

SHORT TEXTS | DEEP READING

Close reading involves careful study of a short text passage to build a deep, critical understanding of the text.

HOW DOES CLOSE READING WORK?

Close reading is the careful reading and re-reading of a short text passage several times, for different purposes. It develops in the reader deep comprehension and understanding of the text’s form, craft and meanings.

• prompt questions to establish context • independent/group reading

• questions and discussion points to unpack the text and its features

• discussion questions to clarify understanding and use higher-order thinking skills

• writing tasks that require re-reading of the text

WHAT ARE SHORT READS?

SHORT READS

Short Reads boxes are available in both Fiction and Non-fiction collections. The cards in the boxes have texts that are deliberately short so students have time in one lesson to read, re-read, discuss and respond in writing to the text. The complete collection offers 400 short texts on sturdy, double-sided, full-colour cards which: · Cater for all reading abilities · Feature close reading questions and discussion and writing prompts · Offer a diverse selection of quality reading on short, manageable, levelled texts.

52

Cards can be used for a variety of purposes: · Small-group guided reading · Modelled writing · Study of text types and genres (including description, explanation, procedure, report and discussion) · Comparison of texts · Thematic research · Independent reading.

HOW LONG IS EACH LESSON? The questions and discussion prompts in the Teacher’s Guide are designed to be used with teacher-led, small groups of students. Because the texts are short, your students should be able to read, re-read and discuss a card in one lesson.

WHAT MAKES SHORT READS DIFFERENT? FAST Texts are designed to be read and discussed within 20-30 minutes.

In the activities, students will: • re-read the card deeply • reorganise information to present it in a new way • form and articulate an opinion, based on evidence from the text.

Teacher Reference Panel

EFFECTIVE • Proven teaching methods include: close reading, deep questioning, peer discussion and written responses to reading.

• Skills-based activities explicitly link reading–listening– discussion–writing skills.
