  1. Reading Plus Builds Proficiency Reading grade level content With good comprehension At an adequate rate Independently Silently

  2. Complex Nature of Reading When we read do we look at every letter in each word?

  3. Complex Nature of Reading Volunteer to read a summary from The Cat and the Hat by Dr. Seuss Reading Reflex Carmen and Geoffrey McGuinness This gallimaufry is multitudinously gargantuan, puissantly capacious and ineffable Junoesque and in consequence of such Protean tribulations and in such psychotic contravention of stereotypical consuetudinary hygiene, there exists the infinitesimal exiguity of a satisfactory resolution to this cataclysmic dilemma.

  4. 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

  5. Seeing Silent Reading

  6. Visagraph Assessment (5 Minutes per Student) Measures Fluency Efficiency • Fixations – the number of eye stops made while reading a 100 word passage. • Regressions – Backward eye movements • Span of Recognition – The amount of text that is recognized during each eye stop. • WPM – Words read per minute • Cross correlation – How well your eyes work together. • Anomalies – Irregular eye movements

  7. Inefficient Silent Reading Student’s mental efforts are directed toward “taking in text” rather than comprehension.

  8. Directed Attention The Stroop Test - Cognitive Dissonance The Stroop Test provides insight into cognitive effects that are experienced as a result of attentional fatigue The cognitive mechanism involved in this task is called directed attention, you have to manage your attention Simply name the colors of the words as fast as you can. Are you ready . . . Let’s try it one more time Go as fast as you can through the whole list

  9. Taking in Text Foundational Visual & Perceptual skills are unseen and unheard in silent reading How do you change the way a student takes in text? AND… They are taught the least and tested the most

  10. 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

  11. Efficient and Effective Practice Reading Plus® leverages technology to assess, remediate & accelerate The unseen and unheard fluency skills While providing structure Fluency Structure Efficient & Effective Practice

  12. Primary Structure Includes • Builds Attention & Motivation • Ensures High Success • Fosters Independence & Proficiency

  14. 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
