Developmental History Controlled Reader Reading Eye Camera Guided Reader 1960’s 1970’s-1980’s Silent Reading Practice & Measurement
Miami Dade Research Results “In many cases the gains were not only statistically significant with substantive effect sizes, the contrasts between Reading Plus and non-Reading Plus groups provided interesting information regarding the magnitude of performance differences. For example, in grades 6, 7, and 8 the mean gains on the CRT portion of the FCAT were more than double the gains of non-participating students. Dr. Timothy RasinskiReading Psychology
Reading Plus Builds Proficiency Its goal is to help students read at or above grade level, with good comprehension scores and an adequate reading rate.
Complex Nature of Reading When we read do we look at every letter in each word?

Inefficient Silent Reading • What does it look like when a reader lacks silent reading fluency? • Has laborious eye movements • Over relies on decoding • Can’t apply meaning to words instantly • Has habitual, mechanical or ineffective perceptual skills Take a look at how this struggling reads silently
Inefficient Silent Reading Student’s mental efforts are directed toward “taking in text” rather than comprehension.
Teaching Silent Reading? Proficient fluency doesn’t happen through instruction What’s the missing link between instruction and proficiency?
What is SSR Missing? ScSR Scaffolds and Structure So…if all that is needed is silent reading practice why isn’t traditional Silent Sustained Reading the answer? Dr. Reutzel, 2008
Structure for Effectiveness Components that need to be dynamically structured Content Student Choice Prior Knowledge Rate Text presentation Text Duration Scaffolds Accountability Goals Motivation Providing these for eachstudent everytime they read is a daunting task
