This book was released on 2013 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research studied the effects of using word sorts in combination with iPad spelling applications on the spelling acquisition of a third grade student with a Specific Learning Disability. The researcher measured the effects on spelling acquisition using pre- and post-assessments. The informal assessments used included a Words their Way Spelling assessment, a Nonsense word assessment from Teaching Phonics and Word Study in Intermediate Grades, and a questionnaire. The student engaged in word sorts prior to completing a spelling application on the iPad. The strategies implemented with gains in spelling skills and had a positive effect on the student's attitude towards spelling. The research also showed positive effects in the student's reading of nonsense words. More research applying these techniques to students with and without disabilities should be conducted to further explore these approaches.

This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to determine if the use of word sorts during small group reading instruction and independent work time would increase the spelling abilities of first grade students. The study was conducted over a nine-week period during the fall semester of the 2011-2012 school year. One first grade class received the treatment. There were 18 students that were divided into four mall groups of 4-6 students each. They were grouped based on their scores from the Primary Spelling Inventory that was given as the pre-test and post-test. Subjects in the group received small group instruction on the spelling concept, through word sorts, three times each week and worked on word sort activities during independent word work center, three times each week. At the end of each full week of instruction, a spelling test was given to assess their understanding of the spelling concept taught. Teacher anecdotal notes/observations were kept to record observations and document subject progress during the study. Results form the Primary Spelling Inventory post-test indicated an improvement in the spelling abilities by subjects in the first grade classroom that received the treatment. The results of this study indicated the possibility of growth in the spelling abilities of first grad students who received instruction on spelling concepts using word sorts. Further research is needed to determine if the conclusions of this study would be applicable to a generalized population.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) in the area reading often struggle with reading fluency, reading comprehension is often impacted. Through this research, it may be determined that incorporating Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary and Spelling Instruction (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton, & Johnston, 2000) word sorts with the Orton-Gillingham method of reading instruction (Orton & Gillingham, 1930) can increase reading fluency. Does incorporating the program Words Their Way into the Orton-Gillingham method increase fluency? It is hypothesized that incorporating the Words Their Way word sorts into the Orton-Gillingham method will increase reading fluency at the independent reading level for students with learning disabilities. In this study, two second grade students with identified reading disabilities, one boy and one girl, participated in small group instruction, using the Orton-Gillingham Method.
Download or read book The Effects of Time Delay Procedures on the Acquisition Maintenance and Generalization of Spelling Sight Words for Elementary Students with High incidence Disabilities written by Jenna C. Ott and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading is a skill in which many students with disabilities perform at a lower level than their peers without disabilities. While previous studies have shown that learning how to read does not automatically help students learn how to spell, learning how to spell does help children learn how to read. Immediate feedback, immediate self-correction, and repetition have been found to be effective components of effective spelling instruction intervention packages. The current study examined the effects of adding technology to the Time Delay strategy on student’s acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of spelling sight words, and also the student’s ability to read those sight words in isolation and fluently in text. This study examined the effects of the Time Delay procedure on sight word spelling for kindergarten and first grade elementary students with high-incidence disabilities in an urban school setting. A multiple baseline single-subject design was used to determine the effectiveness of the Time Delay strategy to teach 15 unknown Dolch Sight Words. These sight words were selected based on an assessment given to determine which words students could not read, and also could not spell. Unknown sight words were put into 3 sets of 5 words each. The Time Delay intervention was used to help students practice spelling these words and a probe for all 15 words was conducted after each session. This allowed maintenance measures to be recorded every trial after set 1 was complete. Generalization was measured as well. The student practiced spelling the word on a tablet but was probed with the materials of paper and pencil. The student was also generalizing what was practiced during the probe because he or she was asked to then read the word both in isolation and in a sentence. Results show that the Time Delay intervention was effective in the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of sight words for all participants. In addition, results from student and teacher questionnaires indicate that Time Delay was a socially valid intervention.
