This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative study was to examine the results of phonics-based instruction versus guided reading instruction on reading achievement among minority students who are English Language Learners. This study is important because it addresses the gap in the literature that does not target research-based reading instructional strategies that are effective for English Language Learners separate from those that are observed as effective in students whose primary language is English. Archival data were obtained from 86 elementary school English Language Learners in the second grade at two Georgia suburban schools. The instrument used in this study is the MAP test. With permission from the participant schools, data was obtained by reviewing previously submitted lesson plans and reviewing past MAP score reports. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) test was used to determine if there was a difference in reading achievement between English Language Learners who received guided reading instruction at the same frequency as phonics-based reading instruction as measured by Lexile scores acquired on the MAP test when controlling for the pretest. All assumptions of ANCOVA were tested and met, concluding that there is a significant difference between English Language Learners who received guided reading instruction at the same frequency as phonics-based reading instruction. Further research is recommended. Other recommendations include ensuring that English Language Learners receive guided reading instruction at the same frequency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As elegantly practical as it is theoretically elegant. It is a guided tour, as one examines the tools of expert teachers as they engage students in a journey that is aptly dubbed Reading Apprenticeship?learning how to become a savvy, strategic reader under the tutelage of thoughtful, caring, and demanding teachers.? P. David Pearson, University of California, Berkeley, and founding editor of the Handbook of Reading Research. Reading for Understanding is a monumental achievement. It was a monumental achievement when it came out as a first edition in 1999, bringing years of rigorous reading research together in a framework for teaching that made sense in actual secondary school classrooms. Now, just thirteen years later, Schoenbach and Greenleaf have several randomized clinical trials and multiple on-going studies at their fingertips to demonstrate the effects of this approach for developing the reading and thinking of young people in our nation?s middle and high school classrooms, as well as in community college classrooms. Their careful work on developing disciplinary literacy among all students represents a passion for and commitment to supporting students?and their teachers?in reading for understanding, which translates to reading for enjoyment, self-awareness, learning, and for purposeful and informed action in our society. ?Elizabeth Moje, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Associate Dean for Research, School of Education, University of Michigan Reading Apprenticeship has proven to be an inspiration to Renton Technical College faculty and students alike. They have learned together to view themselves as readers in transformative ways, as they embrace powerful techniques to increase reading comprehension. The ideas and strategies in Reading for Understanding anchor this new and broad-based energy around reading and an enthusiasm among our faculty to model effective reading strategies for our students. ?Steve Hanson, President, Renton Technical College, Renton, Washington Reading for Understanding has the finest blend I have seen of research, strategies, and classroom vignettes to deepen teacher learning and help them connect the dots between theory and practice. ?Curtis Refior, Content Area Literacy Coach, Fowlerville Community Schools, Fowlerville, Michigan A teacher-tested, research-based resource for dramatically improving reading skills Published in partnership with WestEd, this significantly updated second edition of the bestselling book contains strategies for helping students in middle school through community college gain the reading independence to master subject area textbooks and other material. Based on the Reading Apprenticeship program, which three rigorous "gold standard" research studies have shown to be effective in raising students' reading achievement Presents a clear framework for improving the reading and subject area learning of all students, including English learners, students with special needs, as well as those in honors and AP courses Provides concrete tools for classroom use and examples from a range of classrooms Presents a clear how-to for teachers implementing the subject area literacies of the Common Core Standards Reading for Understanding proves it's never too late for teachers and students to work together to boost literacy, engagement, and achievement.

Download or read book The Effect of Higher Order Thinking on Reading Achievement written by Amanda Koch and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is an increase in the number of English Language Learners (ELL) entering school, and according to standardized test data for the Georgia Milestones, these students typically do not perform well in reading. Research by Goldenberg (2014) found that a possible cause of academic underachievement could be the ELL students' lack of English language proficiency or their lack of content knowledge and skills. Some teachers do not believe that all kids can think at a higher level, but students need to be given opportunities to use higher level thinking through engaging and authentic lessons. Therefore, the research question that guided this study was: Does the use of higher order thinking strategies impact the ESOL students' reading achievement? The goal was to increase the students' academic performance in reading. The study was an action research design using quantitative methods in which student test data was collected and analyzed to illustrate any changes in the reading achievement of students."--Page 6

Download or read book Minority Students in Special and Gifted Education written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-08-30 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education and gifted and talented programs were designed for children whose educational needs are not well met in regular classrooms. From their inceptions, these programs have had disproportionate representation of racial and ethnic minority students. What causes this disproportion? Is it a problem? Minority Students in Special and Gifted Education considers possible contributors to that disparity, including early biological and environmental influences and inequities in opportunities for preschool and K-12 education, as well as the possibilities of bias in the referral and assessment system that leads to placement in special programs. It examines the data on early childhood experience, on differences in educational opportunity, and on referral and placement. The book also considers whether disproportionate representation should be considered a problem. Do special education programs provide valuable educational services, or do they set students off on a path of lower educational expectations? Would students not now placed in gifted and talented programs benefit from raised expectations, more rigorous classes, and the gifted label, or would they suffer failure in classes for which they are unprepared? By examining this important problem in U.S. education and making recommendations for early intervention and general education, as well as for changes in referral and assessment processes, Minority Students in Special and Gifted Education will be an indispensable resource to educators throughout the nation, as well as to policy makers at all levels, from schools and school districts to the state and federal governments.
Download or read book The Effects of Reading Comprehension Strategies on Achievement for English Learners ELs written by Sunny Marie Carder and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers conclusions and recommendations on increasing reading comprehension for ELs. Previous studies have focused on the use of certain instructional strategies, but few have investigated the effect of these strategies on EL reading achievement. This research adds to the body of knowledge that already exists on EL reading achievement by addressing the following problem: too few ELs are passing the reading comprehension portion of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) test in California. This study utilized a Likert scale survey to collect data from teachers and used a multiple regression analysis to identify significant findings. Specifically, the survey asked teachers to respond to the amount of knowledge/use and perceived effectiveness about the following instructional strategies: total physical response, interactive word wall, dual language or concept books, schema stories, student self-monitoring, KWL, and picture and sentence match. This study found two significant findings in the self-reported effectiveness of student self-monitoring and KWL. Recommendations and implications for educators, administration, and policy are shared, including suggestions for supporting all learners within a transformative organization. School leaders and teachers can seek professional development opportunities to strengthen the instructional practices for ELs in order to close the achievement gap.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of small-group instruction on the reading achievement of ELLs compared to students who receive teaching in whole groups. Numerous ELLs experience extreme difficulty learning to read in English because they struggle in all components of reading. The goal was to obtain a better understanding of whether small- or whole-group instruction is the best strategy for teaching ELL students. The evidence indicated that although most students showed progress on their achievement results at the end of the year, there were distinct differences between the growth of the students taught in small groups compared to those taught with whole-group and computer-based instruction.

Download or read book Interventions for English Language Learners written by Erin Marie Egan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Language Learners (ELLs) in the United States have been plagued by low reading achievement, high dropout rates, and overrepresentation in special education. One researched-based reading intervention, Reading Recovery®, has a large body of research supporting its effectiveness for native speakers as well as a few studies demonstrating its effectiveness for ELLs. However, there is limited research comparing the rates of progress of native English speakers with those of ELLs as well as exploring if there is a difference in outcomes between students at different English language proficiency levels. The research questions that guided this investigation are: 1) How do the reading achievement outcomes of English Language Learners receiving the intervention Reading Recovery® compare to the outcomes of native English speakers receiving the same intervention in grade one of a large diverse urban school district? 2) What is the relationship between the reading achievement outcomes and proficiency levels of English Language Learners as determined by the Reading Recovery language proficiency intake assessment? This study employed a quantitative methodology to compare the reading achievement outcomes of students receiving the intervention Reading Recovery® in a large, urban district from 2004-2013. The analysis in this study suggests that Reading Recovery was actually "more" effective for ELLs. Based on the results of this research study, it is recommended that access be expanded and that all low reading performing ELLs that meet the selection criteria, regardless of English proficiency, be considered for Reading Recovery®.
