Red Light, Purple Light: A Music and Movement Program to Improve Self-Regulation in Young Children.

Red Light, Purple Light is a program designed to improve children's self-regulation skills. The program consists of a consistent opening greeting song, five music and movement games, and a consistent closing goodbye song. The music and movement games are variations of the game Red Light, Green Light, where children are asked to perform actions in response to visual or oral cues. The games increase in complexity as they progress, with the teacher adding more cues and actions. The program is implemented by teachers who receive a 3-hour in-person training and a kit of materials provided by the developer. The sessions are conducted twice a week for 8 weeks, during circle time, and last approximately 20 minutes.

Fusion Reading: A Supplemental Reading Intervention for Middle and High School Students Scoring Below Grade Level on Standardized Reading Measures.

Fusion Reading is a supplemental reading intervention designed for middle and high school students who score at least 2 years below grade level on standardized reading measures.

Achieve3000: An Online Literacy Program to Improve Reading Achievement of Adolescent Readers.

Achieve3000 is an online literacy program that aims to improve reading achievement in students, particularly those in grades 2-8. The program involves a five-step instructional routine: students respond to a before-reading poll, read a nonfiction article tailored to their individual reading level, answer activity questions, respond to an after-reading poll, and answer a thought question. The program includes over 15,000 nonfiction articles and provides tools and tasks to help students comprehend what they read, such as highlighting text, taking notes, and identifying key themes. Teachers can review student responses and track progress, and the program automatically adjusts the reading level of the text as students' reading abilities improve. Additionally, the program offers a "Stretch Article" feature, which provides students with an article written at a higher level than their current reading ability, allowing them to challenge themselves and improve their reading skills. The program is designed to be used as a supplement to standard core reading curriculum and can be accessed on multiple devices and platforms.

The Expository Reading and Writing Curriculum (ERWC) is a college-preparatory English language arts curriculum developed by the California State University (CSU) to improve students' readiness for college-level English and future careers through the in-depth study of expository, analytical, and argumentative reading and writing. The ERWC is designed to be a highly engaging curriculum for preparing students to become critical consumers of texts and effective communicators. It consists of 67 modules that teachers can choose from to design a yearlong course, with activities that integrate reading, writing, and discussion and move from professional texts to student texts. The core structure of all the modules, the Assignment Template, progresses along an "arc" from Reading Rhetorically to Preparing to Respond to Writing Rhetorically. The ERWC also includes concept and portfolio mini-modules, as well as modules for full-length books, dramas, foundational documents, and issues. The curriculum is designed to be flexible, allowing teachers to choose modules based on what will serve their students in a given year. The ERWC is intended to be taught in grades 11 and 12, with the goal of preparing students for college-level English and future careers.

Kindergarten PAVEd for Success (K-PAVE): Increasing Vocabulary Knowledge of Low-Income Kindergarten Students.

Kindergarten PAVEd for Success (K-PAVE) is a kindergarten vocabulary instruction program designed to supplement regular classroom literacy instruction, targeting the improvement of students' vocabulary knowledge. K-PAVE has a standard protocol and materials for training and supporting teachers, and it is built around 240 target words introduced in 24 weekly units of 10 target words per unit. The target vocabulary words are explicitly taught to students and then reinforced through repeated exposure in multiple contexts, including storybook reading, extension activities, and classroom conversations and discussion. K-PAVE is built around three instructional components: Explicit Vocabulary Instruction, Interactive Book Reading, and Adult-Child Conversations. The program provides guidance to teachers on the ideal frequency of reading aloud with students and encourages teachers to engage in extended conversations with individual, pairs, or small groups of students to help them develop strong oral vocabulary skills. The teacher training and support protocol includes an initial large group training, three small-group follow-up telephone conference calls, and up to three rounds of classroom observation to document whether the key elements of K-PAVE were being implemented as intended, with follow-up remediation discussions with teachers about elements rated as not fully implemented.

Open Court Reading: A Systematic Approach to Teaching Alphabetics, Print Knowledge, and Phonemic Awareness to Beginning Readers. # Reasoning Skill: This question requires the ability to identify and summarize the main program/intervention/tool/strategy

Open Court Reading is a curriculum that includes textbooks, workbooks, decodable books, and anthologies intended to target beginning reading achievement and comprehension. The curriculum consists of three main components: (a) Preparing to Read, (b) Reading and Responding, and (c) Language Arts. For this study, teachers were given a teacher's edition of the curriculum that included scripted direct instruction lessons and diagnostic and assessment packages. The program is designed to be used for 2.5 hours per day with grades 1-2 and for 2 hours per day with grades 4-6. However, the authors report that external consultants observed that some teachers provided only 90 minutes of daily instruction. The intervention was implemented from fall to spring during the 2005-06 school year. In another study, students in the intervention group received reading instruction using Open Court Reading, a systematic approach to teaching alphabetics, print knowledge, and phonemic awareness. For this study, the district used the 1996 version of the curricula, Open Court Collections for Young Scholars. Two hours of daily whole-class reading instruction was followed by 30 minutes of small-group instruction and/or independent work. All study students received a condensed selection of instructional content to "catch-up" students to Open Court Reading content that they had not received in prior years (since they began using the curriculum in either second or third grade).

READ 180: A Blended Learning Instructional Model to Improve Reading Achievement for Adolescent Readers.

READ 180 is a blended learning instructional model that targets reading achievement for adolescent readers. It is composed of three parts: whole-group direct instruction, small-group rotations, and whole-group wrap-up. The instruction begins with 20 minutes of whole-group direct instruction, in which the teacher provides instruction in reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar to the entire class. This is followed by rotations of smaller groups of students through three activities: small-group direct instruction, students' independent use of a computerized READ 180 Student Application, and modeled and independent reading. The instruction ends with a brief wrap-up discussion with the whole group. The goal of the READ 180 software is to continually adjust the level of instruction based on student performance.
