Supports for All Students by Angela Rose https://padlet.com/angiepeiffer/djoy1tnjpabc en-us 2018-03-12 16:19:43 UTC 2025-04-28 17:28:27 UTC hello@padlet.com Reading Interventions for Struggling Readers angiepeiffer https://padlet.com/angiepeiffer/djoy1tnjpabc/wish/240973046 Abstract:
-Almost 2/3 of both fourth graders and eighth graders are reading below grade level. It is crucial that at this level middle school students know how to read because there is a shift from learning to read to reading to learn. In order to help our struggling students, teachers need to provide ways to get students motivated to read in addition to providing appropriate  instruction at the middle level. 

AMLE:
Chapter 4: Educators use multiple learning and teaching approaches. 
-Providing students with text material that they are interested in and using resources such as graphic organizers and guided notes will help students understand the material better
-Shifting from primarily decoding strategies to vocabulary and comprehension strategies allows for teachers and students to interact with a text and practice useful reading techniques to understand the material. 

Connection to the field: 
I saw high school students working for an hour and fifteen minutes on a phonics-based reading program and the students were unengaged and bored with the task. It was required by the district that they complete these courses in their lower level reading class, but this program has proven to be ineffective for these students.

  • Abstract: 
    • The number of at-risk students in the US is on the rise, resulting in an increase of after- school programs for youth
    • 1 in 5 students attend an ASP
    • At-risk youth: Account for 21 million students in the US
      • High risk of negative life outcomes (difficulty in school) due to factors that are out of their control (economic status, race, home life)
    • After-school programs positively effect all students physically, socially, emotionally and academically
  • Connection to AMLE: Active Learning and Multiple Learning Approaches
    • After-school programs reinforce what students are taught in school
    • Many ASP's offer experiential learning
    • Mentoring offers students individualized help
    • Other connections: Shared Vision, Community and Business Parters
  • Connection to Field:
    • PVS- Voyager AfterSchool Program: Discovery- based learning

    Active Learning and Challenging Curriculum 
    - Students at the center of the learning process and actively creating meaning during learning
    - Curriculum challenges students and is relevant to their lives
    - Connection to Field: 
    - Wright Brothers Middle- Difficulty seeing connections to own lives, integrating

    Abstract:
    -Students can live with the effects their entire lives 
    -Common themes:
          -selecting appropriate materials
          -developing reading fluency
          -increasing vocabulary
          -building comprehension
          differentiating instruction.  
    -Research shows that when teachers provide multiple learning opportunities for diverse learners, that is when the most success occurs. 

    Connection to Association of Middle Level Education (AMLE):
    -Multiple Learning Approaches and Professional Development
          -key to multiple learning approaches is that it accommodates diverse learners, individual students’ abilities,       and prior knowledge

    Connection to Field:
         - Orchard Park Elementary - A student in my field placement struggles with decoding words.  When I am there for the math lesson she takes longer than the rest of the class to complete her morning work.  The word problems have become a serious challenge for her.

    - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math otherwise none as STEM have come to the forefront of education. STEM education is rising due to the demand of STEM careers. 
    - The benefits of STEM for students are great and providing this curriculum for them increases there interest in school 
    AMLE Connection 
    -Multiple Learning Approaches, STEM utilizes multiple learning approaches such as active learning, problem-based learning, and cooperative learning to peak students interest and get them involved in the curriculum.
