What is M.I.R.P.? Mukaabya’s Study Skills 8th Grade
M.I.R.P. • M - Monitored • I - Independent • R - Reading • P – Practice • The main purposes of MIRP are to build vocabulary and fluency.
Vocabulary is the knowledge of words and word meanings. • Fluency is simply the ability to read text accurately and quickly.
How M.I.R.P. Works • In school, Students should read(silently) at least 15-20 minutes a day, five days per week. • At home, students should read at least 25 minutes a day, five days per week. • Students should select books on their independent reading level or use the Rule of 5 for selecting a text.
What is the Rule of 5? The rule of 5 is a system designed to help students select an appropriate book to read. • Open a book to the middle and begin reading. For each word you don’t know, put up one finger. If at the end of the page you have: • 5 or more fingers up - too hard and challenging, save for later book • 4 fingers up - very challenging • 2-3 fingers up - just right • 0-1 fingers up - too easy, vacation book
How M.I.R.P. Works • Students should keep a reading log or journal to record daily what they have read. ****I will give you this!**** • While students are conducting M.I.R.P., I will be conducting conferencing with individual students. • The primary focus of conferences is to provide an opportunity for students to talk about their reading. I will ask questions about your text and have students read orally for a fluency check. • At the conclusion of the conference, I will help make suggestions for further reading and set goals for the future.
Classroom Rules for M.I.R.P. • Absolutely, no talking!!!!! • You will not leave the classroom or get out of your seat. • Under no circumstance will you interrupt a conference between another student and myself. • Be prepared, always have your book in class. • No whining
