Book excerpt: The ability to read fluently has been confirmed as an indicator of good comprehension and thus academic success. Studies have shown that most students in the U.S. are reading below their grade levels. The U.S. has demanded continuously that the education system increase the outcomes of education for all children. In order to improve children's reading educational needs, effective screening, assessments, and intervention tools need to be implemented properly in U.S. school curriculum. The purpose of this nonequivalent control group study is to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention program in improving the oral reading fluency rates of fourth graders administered using STEEP (Screening to Enhance Educational Performance) procedures in a Response to Intervention structure. The selected participants for this study were 62 fourth-grade students who were receiving Tier II or Tier III reading intervention through the fluency-based reading intervention program. The researcher used an Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to analyze data to determine if the treatment group had achieved significant improvement in their oral reading fluency rates as compared to the control group, while considering the pre-test scores of the students as the co-variate. After adjusting for the effect of pre-test scores on reading achievement, the scores from the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group after receiving intervention. After adjusting for the effect of pre-test scores on oral reading fluency, the scores from the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group after receiving treatment.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a strong focus on student achievement and test scores in the public schools of California. Educators continue to identify low reading scores as evidence of many students struggling to achieve grade level standards. Reading intervention programs have been introduced to elementary schools to assist struggling readers. This study investigated the effects of the READ 180 reading intervention program on the reading achievement of fourth and fifth grade English Learners and fourth and fifth grade English Only students at two elementary schools. The Reading Inventory (RI) was administered twice, to establish baseline data for the first academic quarter, and at the end of the fourth academic quarter, to determine if changes in achievement occurred between the pretest and posttest. Through paired samples t-tests, this author found that there was significant change in the reading achievement of fourth and fifth grade English Learners and fourth and fifth grade English Only students. This study suggests that students may significantly improve reading skills when participating in the READ 180 reading intervention program. Keywords: READ 180, reading intervention, English Learners.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern day instructional tools, such as technology and digital learning programs, have been created to assist teachers in differentiating instruction for struggling students and catching students up who are not proficient in reading. The Coronavirus 2020 Global Pandemic forced schools and classrooms across the world to move to remote and virtual forms of learning which potentially exacerbates the achievement gap between all students and students with identified learning disabilities. The purpose of this casual-comparative quantitative research study was to determine the extent to which a digital learning program improves learning outcomes in reading for 4th grade special education students from 32 elementary schools in two West Virginia school districts. For this study a convenience sample of 120 learning-disabled students was used which was comprised of 60 special education students that received one year of i-Ready instruction and 60 students that received no i-Ready instruction and instead used a non-digital teacher-led intervention program for instruction. To determine if there is a significant difference in reading achievement on the West Virginia General Summative Assessment of 4th grade special education students who use i-Ready as a reading intervention tool compared to 4th grade special education students who do not use i-Ready as a reading intervention tool, an independent t test was conducted. The independent sample t test determined that there is a significant difference between the means of special education students who received i-Ready instruction and special education students who did not receive i-Ready instruction program and instead used a teacher led intervention for instruction. The results of this study conclude that the i-Ready program is associated with improved reading scores for students with learning disabilities.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As America’s schools strive to educate a diverse population of students, some of these students, who are identified as low-achieving, find school to be difficult. The need to improve low-achieving students’ reading skills has been the focus and concern of educators for many years. This study, which utilized a causal comparative research design, investigated third and fourth grade students’ literacy achievement scores for participation or non-participation in the Students Reading Enrichment Program (SREP), which is an in-school and/or after-school program, in the Jenkins School District (JSD). The SREP provides low-achieving students the opportunity to work in small groups with interventionists, teachers, and tutors who offer structured support based on each student’s ability level. The purpose of the study was to determine if the SREP in-school and after-school programs affected student achievement in Grades 3 and 4. Students’ MCT2 and STAR Reading scores were statistically examined. Existing data from a convenience sample of students were used. A multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and Pearson correlations were used to answer the research questions for this study. The independent variables for the study were: (a) level of participation, (b) grade level, (c) sex, and (d) attendance. The dependent or treatment variable, Reading Achievement, was comprised of students’ reading scaled scores on MCT2 and STAR Reading. No statistically significant differences were found to indicate that reading interventions affected student achievement in Grades 3 and 4. Recommendations for future research include: (a) conducting longitudinal studies to determine long term effects on students attending in-school and after-school programs over the remaining four years of the SREP, (b) analyzing other variables such as classroom teachers, in-school interventionists, after-school teachers, and after-school tutors, (c) investigating the unique contribution that each of these variables has on student achievement, (d) comparing data for the interventionists who are certified teachers and the interventionists who are not certified teachers, and (e) examining the professional development of classroom teachers, in-school interventionists, after-school teachers, and after-school tutors.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This action research project examined the effects of an intervention program on student reading and math achievement. TCAP reading and math assessments and ThinkLink Learning reading and math assessments were used for the measures on student achievement. Student perceptions and attitudes were measured with a questionnaire and four open-ended questions. The study found a statistical difference on the experimental group's TCAP and ThinkLink achievement scores. This study was one academic school year. The results of the action research parallel the results found in the review of related literature. The experimental group did experience at least a year's growth as outlined by No Child Left Behind. However, the control group did out-perform the experimental group in regard to the assessments.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on multi-tiered, research-based reading interventions provides strong evidence for the critical role of early reading instruction and the benefits of early intervention for children who are struggling to learn to read (Blachman et al., 2004; Denton, Fletcher, Anthony, & Francis, 2006). Research on effective approaches for older students who have already experienced reading failure is less prevalent (Kamil et al., 2008). In particular, there are few experimental studies documenting the effects of multi-tiered approaches to improving instructional outcomes in reading for students in the middle grades. To address this need, the authors have engaged a series of NIH-funded randomized studies on the effects of multi-tiered interventions for students with reading disabilities in grades six through eight. This poster presents selected findings from that ongoing work. It extends previously reported research by addressing the question: "What are the effects of an intensive, small group, tutoring treatment in reading on the reading outcomes of students with significant reading disabilities who had little to no response to two previous years of intensive intervention?" (Contains 2 tables.).
Download or read book Evaluating a Reading Response to Intervention Model written by Jeremy Brumfield and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study sought to explore the perceptions of classroom teachers and an instructional support team regarding the effectiveness of an established reading Response to Intervention model. It compared the perceptions of both groups regarding the model’s effectiveness, focusing on its strengths and weaknesses. The similarities and differences between the two participant groups’ perceptions that emerged from the individual interviews and focus groups were identified and discussed. This research also compared the perceptions of the participants to the success rates of students in the school in terms of the Response to Intervention measures of reading and standardized student achievement on the state English Language Arts assessment. Faculty at the site, Hayes Elementary School (pseudonym), participated in the study and contributed to the evaluation of the model’s effectiveness, using Stufflebeam’s (2007), Context Input Process and Product (CIPP) program evaluation model. The findings of the study, aimed at exploring the perceptions of school faculty towards the effectiveness of an elementary school’s Response to Intervention (RTI) model, were determined through the aggregation and open coding of multiple sources of data.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study's purpose was to examine the impact of a computer-assisted reading program, "Academy of Reading," on reading achievement of 2nd and 3rd grade readers. The researcher studied the impact a computer-aided reading program had on the reading achievement of students in a central Mississippi suburban school district. A quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct the research. There were a total of 8 intact classes out of 30 classes from 1 elementary school used in the study. Of these 8, 4 were 2nd-grade classes of 15 intact classes and 4 were 3rd-grade classes of 15 intact classes. The 2nd grade reading classes that were selected were identified as below average according to the Scientific Research Association (SRA) Reading Placement Test. The 3rd grade classes selected were performing at grade level. The 3rd grade did not have many intact classes below the established grade 3 level as in 2nd grade. The selected classes were randomly put in the control and quasi-experimental groups. Both groups were given the STAR reading assessment as a pretest. The quasi-experimental group contained 65 students who received the treatment for a 9-week period. Each class went to the computer lab 3 times a week for 30-minute sessions. The control group contained 68 students who continued with independent reading activities in the classroom. At the end of the quasi-experimental treatment both groups were administered the STAR reading assessment as the post-test. The control group had a pretest mean score of 3.14 and the quasi-experimental group had 2.64. An analysis of covariance was used to adjust for the pretest differences. The post-test scores indicated a slight increase in the mean scores in reading performance of both groups. The mean score for the control group was 3.30 and the quasi-experimental group was 2.87. The control group students improved the mean score by 0.16 and the quasi-experimental group improved by 0.23 points. There was no significant difference; therefore the null hypothesis was accepted. The quasi-experimental group had increased in reading performance as suggested by many articles and research publications, such as Fiedorowicz and Trites (1987), Colorado Commission of the States (1999), and Schacter (2000) supporting Academy of Reading. When the data were analyzed based on gender, ethnicity, and grade level, the quasi-experimental group had the largest increase in the mean scores. However, the findings showed that there was no statistical difference among the groups based on these demographic variables.
