From 2004 to 2010, a team of researchers and teachers at FCRR collected ideas and created Student Center Activities for use in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms. The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.

Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials.

Component

Name of the reading component: Phonological Awareness (PA), Phonics (P), Fluency (F), Vocabulary (V), or Comprehension (C). Each component is color coded: PA is purple, P is orange, F is red, V is green, C is blue.

Subcomponent

Name of the reading subcomponent, which is a subskill of the component.

Activity Name

Activity Number

The letters correspond with the reading component (PA, P, F, V, or C). The numbers are listed in ascending order within each component. The activities are sequenced from simple to more complex within each component and subcomponent.

Student Icon

The suggested number of students for the activity. One student icon indicates that students may work independently or with a small group. Two student icons indicate that the activity requires students to work in pairs. Two student icons with a plus sign indicate that the activity requires two or more students.

Objective

States the goal of the activity, which is aligned with the subcomponent.

Materials

Materials are located on the pages that follow the Activity Plan. Most materials are non-consumable to be prepared and used repeatedly (e.g., word cards can be laminated). Some materials are consumable and will need to be duplicated for each student doing the activity. Other materials, such as counters, are commonly found in most classrooms.

Activity Statement

One sentence explanation of the purpose of the activity and what students do to complete the activity.

Activity Steps

The first step describes how to setup the center. The second step begins with: The student, Students, Working in pairs, or Taking turns depending on the number of students needed to complete the activity. The second step also starts the series of steps to complete the activity. The next steps explain what the student does to complete the activity. The last step lists one of three accountability methods: Self-check, Peer evaluation, or Teacher evaluation.

Example

A visual of the activity and key materials.

Extensions and Adaptations

Suggestions that extend or provide an adaptation for additional practice on the skill addressed in the activity. Materials for the extensions and adaptations are included after the pages that align to the Activity Plan.

Sally Shaywitz, author of Overcoming Dyslexia - June 3, 2018

" A true gift to all those who work so hard to teach children (and adults) to read. This extremely thoughtful book provides teachers with an in-depth A-to-Z of what you need to know to teach and reach all readers successfully, the scientific, and the practical. Teachers learn not only the theories and science behind how we read but also come to understand the important components of reading and what must and can be done to implement this knowledge. In this newly updated, superb textbook, teachers will know they have a trusted, reliable resource that they can turn to. "

Stephanie Al Otaiba, Professor and Patsy and Ray Caldwell Centennial Chair in Teaching and Learning, Southern Methodist University - June 1, 2018

"[This book's] content...is closely aligned with the International Dyslexia Association's Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading. I believe this text will be a very useful resource for teacher trainers and for teachers to use within Professional Learning Communities, particularly when accompanied by the activity handbook. "

Martha Hougen, consultant and author, Fundamentals of Literacy Instruction & Assessment, Pre-K-6 and 6-12 - May 28, 2018

" This is a terrific reference to add to your professional library. If all teachers implemented the strategies in this text, their students would become efficient and capable readers, writers, and mathematicians. "

This outlines how MTSS (or RTI) can be used to address dyslexia in general education.  Also clarifies three points: School communities and Individualized Educational Program (IEP) teams should understand that:

Many students with dyslexia can be supported in general education programs with targeted interventions and/or appropriate supports;

“Specific Learning Disability” (SLD) is an umbrella term and does not prohibit the use of the term “dyslexia” when determining special education eligibility and educational services; and

Core deficits associated with dyslexia will be assessed when considering special education eligibility under the category of SLD.

The TPRI is designed to help teachers gather information about students' needs and abilities in reading. A number of resources have been created to help teachers administer the TPRI and use TPRI data to inform their instruction:

It is important that the TPRI assessment be administered consistently and accurately. To help ensure reliable administration the following resources have been developed:

Teacher's Guide

The TPRI Teacher's Guide provides detailed instructions and samples for administering the TPRI accurately and reliably, along with guidance for using TPRI results to inform instruction. Review selections from the Teacher's Guide using the links below.

Administration Guidelines

Information about the TPRI Screening Section and Inventory Section

Information about the reading concepts assessed on the Inventory Section

Quick Review Sheets

Quick Review Sheets have been created for each grade level to assist the teacher during administration.

2010 TPRI Administration Videos

Training videos have been created for each grade level so that teachers can view proper administration of each TPRI screening and inventory task. Please click here to view administration videos for each grade-level.

Once all students in the class have been administered TPRI, teachers will need to analyze data gathered to identify specific needs of students.

Automated Class Summary Sheets

To support teachers in analyzing TPRI scores, teachers may wish to use the K-3 TPRI Automated Class Summary Sheets. Once data for each student has been entered into the spreadsheet, teachers can view totals and percentages of class scores for each task, and also view equated fluency scores. Data is also presented on helpful graphs. To download the Automated Class Summary Sheet specific to your grade level, please click here.

Alternate Kindergarten Class Summary Sheet

An alternative Kindergarten Class Summary Sheet is available for teachers using the Kindergarten Grouping Tool.

Fluency Equating Tables

TPRI provides tools to help teachers measure and understand fluency scores more effectively. These tools come in the form of Fluency Equating Tables which equate fluency performance on any story with the hardest End-of-Year story (Story 6).

Equated scores help to show difficulties that might be missed by looking just at actual scores. Please click here to view the Fluency Equating Tables.

Sample Tier 2 Criteria

TPRI has received many requests to provide sample tiering criteria. The sample provided here has been created to support districts and schools in making their own tiering criteria.

How to Use ICs

Recognizing that evidence-based practices (EBPs) account for at least part of the effects of teachers on achievement and the critical role of teacher preparation, the CEEDAR Center professionals, along with their partner Great Teachers and Leaders, offer innovation configurations (ICs) to promote the implementation of evidence-based instructional practices in teacher preparation activities. ICs are designed to evaluate current teacher preparation and professional development (PD) by determining the extent to which EBPs are taught, observed, and applied within teacher preparation and PD programs. For more detailed information about ICs, . Please see this read this short guide describing our standards for selecting EBPs.

Please watch the video below for a tutorial on how to use the ICs.

The Educate podcast is all about education. We care about equity and opportunity and how people learn. We dig deep into education research. We're curious about how research translates into policy - or not. We think good teaching is hard. We think history has a lot to tell us about why things are the way they are. We believe in vivid storytelling.
