Accelerated Learning
When it comes to literacy gains, accelerated growth happens when a student石榴视频黄色版檚 actual growth goes beyond expectations based on their current reading level and the time they participate in learning.
Accelerate Learning with Achieve3000 Literacy
With the right reading intervention programs, 石榴视频黄色版 have been shown to boost their Lexile reading levels beyond expectations. 2022-23 National Lexile Study Shows Accelerated Lexile Growth for Every Type of Student, Including Struggling Readers
Reading intervention strategies such as differentiated content, learning scaffolds, and ongoing assessments can help keep your 石榴视频黄色版 engaged and progressing.
Differentiated content: Every student has different needs. That means you石榴视频黄色版檒l see more learning gains if you adapt instruction and content to meet their abilities, interests, styles, and preferences. You can do this by first getting to know your 石榴视频黄色版石榴视频黄色版 reading levels, so you have a benchmark to measure progress against throughout the year. Then, provide each student with differentiated content that matches those individual Lexile levels, so that every student has a chance to succeed.
Learning scaffolds: As 石榴视频黄色版 progress in their literacy journey, they should be given the support or enrichment they need to move to the next reading level based on their strengths and needs. This is where scaffolding comes in. For struggling readers, scaffolding could include vocabulary or concept previews, extra time to complete activities, access to Spanish translation for English learners, or audio support for articles. For more advanced readers, you might provide extension activities or more advanced Lexile assessments.
Ongoing assessments: To keep readers advancing through their Lexile levels, it石榴视频黄色版檚 important to conduct regular assessments for comprehension, and then adjust instruction based on performance. When 石榴视频黄色版 are able to see their progress, they can celebrate their wins and better understand where they need to improve. And educators can see where 石榴视频黄色版 need more help. Education technology like Achieve3000 Literacy can help make this process easier, automating steps so educators can ensure no one falls through the cracks.
To accelerate learning, 石榴视频黄色版 need to be able to relate to what is being taught. That means getting to know your 石榴视频黄色版 and providing culturally responsive literacy instruction to every child. Here石榴视频黄色版檚 how:
Aim for Equity: Equity means meeting the needs of all children, including their academic, physical, social, and emotional needs. When we understand the needs and interests of the whole student, we can find ways to make 石榴视频黄色版 meaningful and increase learning gains.
By overcoming complacency and bias, including racial, cultural, and linguistic bias, schools and districts can create the conditions to meet the needs of our 石榴视频黄色版.
Go Beyond Teaching Skills: To keep instruction culturally relevant, educators need to supplement skills instruction with more intellectually stimulating teaching. In her book, Cultivating Genius: An Equity Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad draws on the work of black literacy societies, which had five central goals for learning or 石榴视频黄色版減ursuits石榴视频黄色版 that she says every student should have:
- Identity: Helping 石榴视频黄色版 learn about who they are and who they want to become, as well as about others who aren石榴视频黄色版檛 like them
- Skill: Literacy skills like decoding and vocabulary, and how 石榴视频黄色版 can use these skills to elevate their intellect
- Intellectualism: Teaching about new histories, people, and places to expose 石榴视频黄色版 to a world of ideas outside their own thinking
- Criticality: Helping 石榴视频黄色版 learn about anti-racism, power, privilege, inequities, oppression, and anti-sexism, so we can cultivate children who don石榴视频黄色版檛 contribute to harming others
- Joy: Finding ways to 石榴视频黄色版渁nimate石榴视频黄色版 your 石榴视频黄色版石榴视频黄色版 souls through literacy
Build Better Relationships with Students: Getting through to your 石榴视频黄色版 starts with building strong relationships. That means knowing the answers to three important questions:
- Who am I?
- Who are my 石榴视频黄色版?
- Who are we together?
Educators who share their own experiences provide 石榴视频黄色版 with more opportunities to relate. They should also get to know more about 石榴视频黄色版石榴视频黄色版 fears, hopes, and dreams, and talk about what they know during instruction so 石榴视频黄色版 will feel like their learning is relevant.
2022-2023 National Lexile Study Shows Accelerated Lexile Growth Across All Participating Racial and Ethnic Groups
While many secondary educators might not be familiar with teaching foundational literacy skills, they still need to be able to help 石榴视频黄色版 struggling in this area. Often, these 石榴视频黄色版石榴视频黄色版 foundational reading skills are not strong enough to successfully navigate the increased rigor of academic content in grades 6-12. Without targeted intervention, these 石榴视频黄色版 will continue to fall behind, lose confidence, and are likely to eventually drop out of school.
Achieve3000 Literacy WordStudio makes it easy for teachers to provide instruction in phonics, decoding and word recognition through teacher-led instructional videos that can be used to support individual or group instruction. This foundational literacy collection provides many opportunities for guided and independent practice, as well as engaging lessons to test skills. It also includes extensive support materials for teachers.
To determine the most impactful skills for inclusion in the WordStudio lessons, Achieve3000 completed a literature review that included some of the most recognized experts in foundational literacy, such as Foorman and Torgesen, Beck, Denton, and Slavin. Achieve3000 also worked with licensed reading intervention specialists to identify the key foundational skills that challenge secondary 石榴视频黄色版 who have difficulty with reading comprehension and fluency. Each skill is addressed individually and comprehensively, offering 石榴视频黄色版 opportunities to apply their knowledge of the skill in various ways throughout each lesson.
How Acceleration Is Measured
There石榴视频黄色版檚 only one way to know if reading intervention strategies are actually working: measure student reading growth on an ongoing basis. In order to do that, you need a scientific approach that places both the reader and the text on the same developmental scale. That石榴视频黄色版檚 why MetaMetrics庐, an 石榴视频黄色版al measurement and research organization, developed a framework for calculating expected, actual, and accelerated growth.
I石榴视频黄色版檝e seen growth across the board with Achieve3000 Literacy, from our most struggling to our most advanced readers, which is really incredible.
