Harn & Katz © Schoolwide: Each & All Prevention Oriented Scientifically Based Results Focused IBR Foundational Features: Translating Research into Practice

Harn & Katz © Today’s Focus IBR Guiding Questions 1.Goals: What outcomes do we want for our students in our state, district, and schools? 2.Knowledge: What do we know and what guidance can we gain from scientifically based reading research? 3.Progress Monitoring Assessment: How are we doing? What is our current level of performance as a school? As a grade? As a class? As an individual student? 4.Outcome Assessment: How far do we need to go to reach our goals and outcomes? 5.Core Instruction: What are the critical components that need to be in place to reach our goals? 6.Differentiated Instruction: What more do we need to do and what instructional adjustments need to be made?

Harn & Katz © The objectives of today’s session are to: 1.Review items on the Supplemental/ Intervention (S/I) Consumer's Guide for fluency. 2.Review data on all S/I fluency programs. 3.Discuss overall strengths and weaknesses found in all S/I fluency programs. 4.Provide an overview of selected S/I fluency programs. Objectives: What You Will Learn and Do

Harn & Katz © Evidence of Sufficient Instructional Quality for Fluency Programs  Evidence for the following instructional criteria were strongly documented in many of the programs reviewed: Number Criterion 6.Passages contain high-frequency words that have been previously taught. 7. Introduces fluency practice (e.g., repeated reading) after students read words in passages accurately. 8. Includes sufficient independent practice of materials of appropriate difficulty for students to develop fluency.

Harn & Katz © Evidence of Insufficient Instructional Quality for Fluency Programs  Evidence for the following instructional criteria were absent in many of the programs reviewed: Number Criterion 1.Provides fluency practice at the word level. 2.Introduces passage reading soon after students can read a sufficient number of words accurately. 3.Teaches explicit strategy to permit readers to move from reading words in lists to reading words in sentences and passages. 4.Initial stories/ passages composed of a high percentage of regular words (minimum of 75-80% decodable words). 5.Passages contain regular words comprised of letter-sounds, phonic elements, and word types that have been taught Builds towards end of year fluency goals of 60 wpm in grade 1, 90 wpm in grade 2, and 120 wpm in grade Assess fluency regularly.

Harn & Katz © Sample Fluency Lesson  Decoding: Provide decoding instruction using the following words:  Review: at, bat, sat, fat, mat  Review: am, Sam  New: fast, mast, past  Sight Words: Provide instruction using the following sight/irregular words:  Review: the, on, is  New: my  Sentence Reading: Provide instruction using the following sentences. Prompt students not to sound out the sight words which are underlined. Have the children read the sentence with you, blending the decodable words. Reread as a group with natural intonation.  Sam sat the bat on the mat. Sam is fast.
