Review of Reading Fluency • Share the following: How many students used the reading fluency system? How many readings did the students complete? What activities did you use? Describe the students’ progress? How will you continue this work?
Goals for this Module Participants will • Review the Comprehensive Literacy Plan www.missionliteracy.com • Use this model to develop a Classroom/School Literacy Plan and the Student Literacy Profile they will use to individualize literacy development. • Learn how to develop Writing from Reading Assessments that measure ability to integrate and evaluate multiple media; delineate and evaluate argument; and analyze texts for themes, topics and development with argumentative and informative/explanatory essays.
What do you know about your students’ literacy skills? • At what level do they read? • How fluent is their writing and reading? • How well do they comprehend text? • Can they analyze text for craft, perspective, point of view or bias? • Can they read closely and critically? • Can they read and write argument?
What plans do you have for your students’ literacy skill development? • Do you know what they need? • Do you know where to begin in the development process? • Do you have a system for monitoring their literacy development progress? • Do your students have a system for knowing their own literacy progress?

Evidence for Certification First, You are to develop a Literacy Plan. It can be for your school (if you are a principal or a school improvement chair, or a literacy coach) It can be a Literacy Plan for all your classes. (Includeliteracy skills you expect to have data on for all your students.) It can be a Literacy Plan for one class. Your plan should include at least one of the “Writing about Reading” assessments.
Evidence for Certification Next, you will create a Student Literacy Profile for your students. The Student Literacy Profile should reflect the assessments that are on the Literacy Plan for the school, classes or class. You will bring this data to PRESENT at a final meeting which is required. Evidence will include: Literacy Plan, Student Literacy Profile(s) and any results (data) you have acquired through implementation.
