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.

Reading Apprenticeship is a program that aims to improve students' reading skills by having them learn how to closely examine both their own reading strategies and processes and those of their teacher and fellow students. The program involves small-group and full-classroom conversations about, and students' reflections on, the thinking process being used while reading. Reading Apprenticeship calls for teachers to integrate four dimensions of classroom life into subject-area teaching through conversations about the thinking processes that students and teachers use as they read. These dimensions are: Social, which uses students' interests in social interaction to provide a learning environment that reflects the diverse perspectives and resources of each individual; Personal, which draws on skills used by students in out-of-school settings, students' interest in deepening their awareness of the thinking processes used while reading, students' identities as readers, and their purposes and goals for reading; Cognitive, which involves developing readers' mental processes, including the specific comprehension and problem-solving strategies that can be applied to academic texts; and Knowledge-building, which includes identifying and expanding the knowledge readers bring to a text, including knowledge about word construction, vocabulary, text structure, genre, language, and content. The program also offers professional development and train-the-trainer sessions for content-area middle and high school teachers, literacy coaches, site-level administrators, and district leaders to help them incorporate Reading Apprenticeship in classrooms, schools, and districts. Additionally, the program developers offer a year-long curriculum for 9th-grade students, called Reading Apprenticeship Academic Literacy, which is designed to support students' reading achievement, engagement, and fluency.

Spelling Mastery: Teaching Spelling to Students with Learning Disabilities.

Spelling Mastery is a program designed to target spelling skills for students at all academic levels, including those with learning disabilities. The program consists of six levels, each with 60 to 120 lessons, and is delivered in daily 15-20 minute sessions. Teachers present exercises, listen to student responses, and provide immediate feedback, using three strategies: phonemic, morphemic, and whole-word. The phonemic strategy instructs beginning spellers on sound-symbol relationships, the morphemic strategy teaches older students to spell and blend bases and affixes, and the whole-word strategy teaches common, irregularly spelled words using memorization procedures and drills. The program includes a teacher presentation book, teacher/series guide, student workbook, and software.

ASSISTments: Online Platform for Providing Timely Feedback and Guidance to Students on Mathematics Homework, Enabling Teachers to Adapt Instruction to Meet Students' Learning Needs.

ASSISTments is an online platform that assists students while they solve mathematics problems, with the goal of improving student learning by enabling formative assessment practices related to homework. ASSISTments consists of mathematics problems with answers and hints, which are bundled into problem sets that teachers assign to their students. As students work online, the computer informs them about the correctness of a solution and offers guidance, if available for that problem. Teachers receive reports on how students perform on the assigned problem sets, including information about common wrong answers. The platform also includes "skill builders," which are practice problems that focus on a targeted skill until students reach a teacher-defined criterion for correctness. Teachers can use the data from ASSISTments to adapt instruction, identify areas where students need additional help, and provide personalized feedback and guidance.
