Training Logistics and Reminders 7 Training Logistics and Reminders Length of Training Participate! Ask questions or write to save for later

8 Goal: Learn what is included in the first grade TPRI kit and what it assesses.

What is the TPRI? 9 K-3 Reading Assessment Given by the classroom teacher Screening Section and an Inventory Section Monitors progress at beginning, middle and end of the year.

What are the Screening and the Inventory? 10 What are the Screening and the Inventory? Screening: Brief assessment to identify students who are most at-risk. Inventory: Lengthier assessment of skills in key reading domains. Designed to match reading instruction with individual student needs.

What’s in the First Grade Kit? 11 What’s in the First Grade Kit? Teacher’s Guide Task cards for giving the assessment Story Booklet Magnetic board, magnetic letters and a plastic pouch Intervention Activities Guide Student Record Sheets Class Summary Sheet Stopwatch

What’s new in the 2010 TPRI? 12 Task items Listening and reading comprehension stories Revalidated Screening Sections Decodable word reading task

helps target instruction 14 WHAT Main Idea at-risk students Screening Section diagnose helps target instruction identify Inventory Section lengthier briefer The TPRI is an early reading assessment with two sections: a Screening Section to identify at-risk students and an Inventory Section to diagnose specific instructional needs.

Goal: Clarify the purpose of the TPRI first grade kit. 15 Goal: Clarify the purpose of the TPRI first grade kit.

The Purpose of TPRI 16 Provide information that helps teachers teach! TPRI does this with three tools: Screening Section Inventory Section Intervention Activities Guide

Screening, Inventory & Other Types of Assessments 17 Screening, Inventory & Other Types of Assessments The TPRI includes three types of assessments: screening, inventory and progress monitoring. For more information, review: Assessment Types Handout

Early Identification Is Important 18 Early Identification Is Important Poor readers in 1st grade remain poor readers later without intervention. Early intervention is more effective than later intervention. TPRI can reliably identify children likely to have early reading failure. Response to Intervention (RTI) - a framework for effectively addressing the instructional needs of all students in a school.

19 WHY Main Idea The purpose of TPRI is to provide information that helps teachers teach! The TPRI ________ ______ quickly identifies students who are at-risk of struggling as readers. The TPRI ________ ______ provides information about the specific instruction that will help students move forward. The Teacher’s Guide and IAG provide lesson planning tools and intervention activities to address student needs. Screening Section Inventory Section

20 SECTION 3: HOW? Goal: Discover when and how to administer the first grade TPRI and practice giving parts of the assessment.

Beginning-of-Year (BOY) 2 weeks after the start of the school year 21 When Do I Give TPRI? Beginning-of-Year (BOY) 2 weeks after the start of the school year Screening &Inventory Beginning-of-Year (BOY) 2 weeks after the start of the school year Screening &Inventory Middle-of-Year (MOY) Mid-January Inventory Middle-of-Year (MOY) Mid-January Inventory End-of-Year (EOY) Mid-April Screening & Inventory End-of-Year (EOY) Mid-April Screening & Inventory

Importance of Accurate and Reliable Administration 22 Importance of Accurate and Reliable Administration Accurate information is important because TPRI… Identifies at-risk students Determines instructional needs Communicates to parents Texas Education Code 28.006 requires that schools report scores to their local school board, the Commissioner of Education, and to the parent/ guardian.

23 HOW Main Idea - 1 Use the Teacher’s Guide to administer all tasks, and follow the scripts and procedures carefully to ensure consistent and accurate administration for all students.

Giving the Assessment: Overview 24

Getting Started at Beginning-of-Year (BOY) 25 Getting Started at Beginning-of-Year (BOY) TO START: Administer the Screening Section to all students in the class Start with Screening 1 – Letter Sound Then follow the Branching Rules at the bottom of the page

Administering Screening 1 26 Administering Screening 1

Practice Screening 1 27 Find a partner. Read the teacher’s part and the other person answer as the student. Switch roles and repeat. Read directions from the Teacher's Guide and read items from the Student Record Sheet. Mark your scores on the Student Record Sheet.

28 Practice Quick Check When you were the teacher on Screening 1 did you: Give both Practice Items? Give feedback if the student gave a letter sound when you asked for a letter name? Give feedback if the student gave you a long vowel sound instead of short vowel sound? Give feedback at the end of the task that was encouraging and positive (i.e. “good job,” or “nice work”)? Mark a 1 for correct answers and a 0 for incorrect answers? Mark your answers in the BOY column? Mark the total number correct box at the bottom of the column? Review the Branching Rules to see where you would go next?

Following the Branching Rules 29 Following the Branching Rules

30 HOW Main Idea - 2 Use the Teacher's Guide to administer all tasks, and follow the scripts and procedures carefully to ensure consistent and accurate administration for all students. Follow the Branching Rules provided.

Moving from the Screening Section to the Inventory Section 31 Moving from the Screening Section to the Inventory Section

The PA Portion of the Inventory Section: Overview 32 The PA Portion of the Inventory Section: Overview The phonemic awareness portion consists of 4 different tasks, each of which gets increasingly difficult. The tasks are: PA-1 Blending Word Parts PA-2 Blending Phonemes PA-3 Deleting Initial Sounds PA-4 Deleting Final Sounds

The PA Portion of the Inventory Section: Branching Rules 33 The PA Portion of the Inventory Section: Branching Rules Each PA task consists of 5 items. Each item is scored as incorrect (0 points) or correct (1 point). To score Developed on a PA task, students must earn at least 4 out of 5 points. Since the PA tasks get harder and harder, students move to the next PA task only if they score D. Once a student scores D on a PA task, they don’t have to take that task again at either MOY or EOY.

PA-1 and PA-2: Blending 34 PA-1 and PA-2 are both oral blending tasks. PA-1 Blending Word Parts (for example: /f/ /ox/) PA-2 Blending Phonemes (for example: /c/ /a/ /t/) The PA-2 is a harder task since the units of speech students have to blend are smaller, and there are more of them.

Important Information about PA Tasks 35 Important Information about PA Tasks “Say bus without the /b/” not “Say bus without the /bee/” /b/ not /beh/ /mm/ not /mmmm/ /p/ not /puh/ /f/ not /feh/ Do not add vowel sound after consonant sounds For some consonant sounds, continue only slightly. Keep the vowel sound clipped for consonants such as /g/ and /b/ Pronounce letter sounds during Deleting Initial and Final Sounds tasks.

36 HOW Main Idea - 3 Use the Teacher's Guide to administer all tasks, and follow the scripts and procedures carefully to ensure consistent and accurate administration for all students. Follow the Branching Rules provided. Practice all Phonemic Awareness tasks before giving TPRI.

Practice PA-2 Blending Phonemes 37 Practice PA-2 Blending Phonemes Work with a partner. Practice PA-2, Blending Phonemes. Mark your scores on the Student Record Sheet box as you give the task. Notice where the Branching Rules would send you next. Change roles and practice again.

PA-3 and PA-4: Deleting Sounds 38 PA-3 and PA-4: Deleting Sounds

The GK Portion of the Inventory Section: Overview 39 The Graphophonemic Knowledge (GK) portion consists of 5 different tasks: Branching Rules: Since the GK tasks get harder and harder, students move to the next GK task only if they score D. GK-1 Initial Consonant Substitution GK-2 Final Consonant Substitution GK-3 Middle Vowel Substitution GK-4 Initial Blending Substitution GK-5 Blends in Final Position

Administering GK-1 Initial Consonant Substitution 40 If needed, tear off the letters in your packet. Mark your answers on the Student Record Sheet. Read the Branching Rules. Switch roles and practice again. s f d b l p h c

GK-1 Initial Consonant Substitution: Practice 41 GK-1 Initial Consonant Substitution: Practice Practice GK-1 with your partner. If needed, tear off the letters in your packet. Mark your answers on the Student Record Sheet. Read the Branching Rules. Switch roles and practice again.

42 Word Reading Portion The Word Reading Portion – after the GK Portion. Students read a list of words. 4 sets of 5 words each. If students can’t read any of the words in Set 1 correctly, they stop the task. If students move on to Set 2, read Sets 3 and 4, regardless of their scores on these sets. If correct on 4 or 5 words in a set, then score D for the set.

Scoring the Word Reading Task 43 Scoring the Word Reading Task All words are decodable. Score words as correct (1) or incorrect (0). For instructional planning, write incorrect responses. Use phonetic spelling that will later allow you to recall the answer the student provided. Error Analysis Chart helps understand specific word decoding confusion. Do not complete the Error Analysis Chart while you are with the student.

The Reading Accuracy, Fluency and Comprehension Portion 44 The Reading Accuracy, Fluency and Comprehension Portion Given at BOY, MOY and EOY. Students read 2 stories while you mark errors and time their reading. They then answer comprehension questions about the story.

45 Story Difficulty BOY Story 1 (fiction) Easier Story 2 (fiction) Harder MOY Story 3 (fiction) Easier Story 4 (fiction) Harder EOY Story 5 (non-fiction) Harder Story 6 (fiction) Hardest

Administering a Story & Marking Errors 46 Administering a Story & Marking Errors Teacher’s Guide error. Cross out these sentences for each story.

47 Determining Accuracy If the student reaches the frustrational level, the teacher should read the story to the student. Fru = Frustrational = 0-89% of words correct Inst = Instructional = 90-94% of words correct Ind = Independent = 95-100% of words correct

Accuracy = Frustrational What Next? 48 Accuracy = Frustrational What Next? If the student reaches the frustrational level then the teacher reads the story to the student. Write FRU by the story on the Student Record Sheet. Read the story to the student. Ask the comprehension questions to assess student’s Listening Comprehension of the story. If the student is FRU on the 1st story, s/he still attempts to read the 2nd story. Do not back-up to a previous story.

Scoring the Comprehension Questions 50 Scoring the Comprehension Questions Ask the comprehension questions listed on the Student Record Sheet. Score 1 for correct and 0 for incorrect. There are no ½ points given. Sample answers are provided. Rely on your professional judgment in scoring responses.

Comprehension Question Types 51 4 new types of comprehension questions: Recalling Details Information is stated directly in the text. Do students understand important story details? Linking Details Require connecting information in multiple sentences. Do students understand important story details & make connections from one part of the text to another? Inferring Meaning Students make connections beyond the text. Can students gain deeper understanding of a text? Inferring Word Meaning Students give the meaning of a word from the story. Can students understand text with less familiar words?

Practice Story Reading 52 Practice Story Reading Work with a partner, taking turns as teacher and student. Use the Teacher’s Guide for administration instructions, and the scoring sheet for marking errors. Remember to time the student from when s/he starts reading. When you are the student, be sure to make some errors. Calculate the accuracy and fluency scores for your student. Ask the first 2 comprehension questions and determine what you would do next.

Procedures for MOY and EOY: Jumping-In 53 Procedures for MOY and EOY: Jumping-In There is no Screening Section at MOY. At EOY begin the assessment with Screening 4. At MOY and EOY, you do not need to redo tasks on the PA and GK portions of the Inventory Section if the student scored D already. If a student scored SD on a Task, re-administer every item within the Task. Administer the Listening Comprehension task to all students at BOY, MOY and EOY.
