This book was released on 2016 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accelerated Reader" is a computerized supplementary reading program that provides guided reading instruction to students in grades K-12. It aims to improve students' reading skills through reading practice and by providing frequent feedback on students' progress to teachers. The Accelerated Reader" program requires students to select and read a book based on their area of interest and reading level. Upon completion of a book, students take a computerized quiz based on the book's content and vocabulary. Quiz performance allows teachers to monitor student progress and to identify students who may need additional reading assistance. This review of the program for the Beginning Reading topic area focuses on studies that examine outcomes for beginning readers in grades K-3. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified two studies of Accelerated Reader" that both fall within the scope of the Beginning Reading topic area and meet WWC group design standards. Both studies meet WWC group design standards without reservations. Together, these studies included 265 beginning readers in grades 1-3 in four schools. The two studies that meet WWC group design standards without reservations include; (1) Bullock, J. C. (2005). "Effects of the Accelerated Reader on reading performance of third, fourth, and fifth-grade students in one western Oregon elementary school" (Doctoral dissertation). Available from ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database. (UMI No. 3181085); and (2) Shannon, L. C., Styers, M. K., & Siceloff, E. R. (2010).

This book was released on 2008 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Accelerated Reader" is a computer-based reading management system designed to complement an existing classroom literacy program for grades pre-K-12. It is designed to increase the amount of time students spend reading independently. Students choose reading-level appropriate books or short stories for which Accelerated Reader tests are available and read at their own pace. Once students finish reading a book or short story, they take a multiple choice quiz that measures their reading performance and vocabulary growth. The computer-based management system provides students with immediate feedback on their performance and keeps records to help teachers and parents track students' attempts to reach their goals. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) identified 13 studies of "Accelerated Reader" for English Language Learners that were published or released between 1983 and 2008. No studies of "Accelerated Reader" that fall within the scope of the English Language Learners (ELL) review protocol meet WWC evidence standards. The lack of studies meeting WWC evidence standards means that, at this time, the WWC is unable to draw any conclusions based on research about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of "Accelerated Reader" on ELL.

Book excerpt: The Accelerated Reader/Reading Renaissance program (now called Accelerated Reader Best Classroom Practices) is a guided reading intervention in which teachers direct student reading of text. It involves two components. Reading Renaissance, the first component, is a set of recommended principles on guided reading (or teachers' direction of students' interactions with text). Accelerated Reader (AR), the second component, is a computer program that facilitates reading practice by providing students and teachers feedback from quizzes based on the books the students read. The program gives students opportunity to practice reading books at their level, provides feedback on student comprehension of books, and helps students establish goals for their reading. One study of Accelerated Reader/Reading Renaissance met the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards. The study included 910 students from grades K to 3 attending 11 schools in a southern school district in the United States. The WWC considers the extent of evidence for Accelerated Reader/Reading Renaissance to be small for comprehension and for general reading achievement. No studies that met WWC standards with or without reservations addressed alphabetics or fluency. Accelerated Reader/Reading Renaissance was found to have potentially positive effects on comprehension and general reading achievement. [This publication was produced by the What Works Clearinghouse.

Download or read book The Trials of Evidence based Education written by Stephen Gorard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trials of Evidence-based Education explores the promise, limitations and achievements of evidence-based policy and practice, as the attention of funders moves from a sole focus on attainment outcomes to political concern about character-building and wider educational impacts. Providing a detailed look at the pros, cons and areas for improvement in evidence-based policy and practice, this book includes consideration of the following: What is involved in a robust evaluation for education. The issues in conducting trials and how to assess the trustworthiness of research findings. New methods for the design, conduct, analysis and use of evidence from trials and examining their implications. What policy-makers, head teachers and practitioners can learn from the evidence to inform practice. In this well-structured and thoughtful text, the results and implications of over 20 studies conducted by the authors are combined with a much larger number of studies from their systematic reviews, and the implications are spelled out for the research community, policy-makers, schools wanting to run their own evaluations, and for practitioners using evidence.
Download or read book Research Design written by Stephen Gorard and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research design is of critical importance in social research, despite its relative neglect in many methods resources. Early consideration of design in relation to research questions leads to the elimination or diminution of threats to eventual research claims, by encouraging internal validity and substantially reducing the number of alternative explanations for any finite number of research ′observations′. This new book: discusses the nature of design; gives an introduction to design notation; offers a flexible approach to new designs; looks at a range of standard design models; and presents craft tips for real-life problems and compromises. Most importantly, it provides the rationale for preferring one design over another within any given context. Each section is illustrated with case studies of real work and concludes with suggested readings and topics for discussion in seminars and workshops, making it an ideal textbook for postgraduate research methods courses. Based on the author′s teaching on the ESRC Doctoral Training Centre "Masters in Research Methods" at the University of Birmingham, and his ongoing work for the ESRC Researcher Development Initiative, this is an essential text for postgraduate researchers and academics. There is no book like Research Design on the market that addresses all of these issues in an easy to comprehend style, for those who want to design research and make critical judgements about the designs of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent educational reform initiatives such as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) largely fail to address the needs--or tap into the unique resources--of students who are developing literacy skills in both English and a home language.

Leading experts describe effective, standards-aligned instructional approaches and programs expressly developed to promote bilingual learners' academic vocabulary, comprehension, speaking, writing, and content learning. Innovative policy recommendations and professional development approaches are also presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on research conducted by The National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented, this guidebook presents a framework for increasing reading achievement, fluency, and enjoyment. The Schoolwide Enrichment Model Reading Framework (SEM-R) focuses on enrichment for all students through engagement in challenging, self-selected reading, accompanied by instruction in higher order thinking and strategy skills. A second core focus of the SEM-R is differentiating instruction and reading content, coupled with more challenging reading experiences and advanced opportunities for metacognition and self-regulated reading. Chapters cover each of the three phases of the framework, implementation variations, and organization strategies, and the appendices provide handouts, booklists, charts, and more.
