Learning specialized vocabulary contributes to success of reading among adolescent students. Teachers help students learn the meaning of new words and strengthen their independent skills of constructing meaning of text (IES, 2008). This includes introducing new content specific words at the beginning of the lesson and linking to prior knowledge. Using new vocabulary words often and keeping a vocabulary journal.]]> 2020-10-08 04:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/vrgbc94r5xw2c7gl/wish/812641930 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/vrgbc94r5xw2c7gl/wish/812643461 Improves reading comprehension through instruction that focuses on routines and procedures readers use to help them make sense of text. This can include summarizing, asking/answering questions, paraphrasing, the use of graphic organizers and finding the main idea. Teacher models the strategy then allows time for guided practice before giving student time for independent practice to apply strategies (IES, 2008).

Helps to build deeper understanding of authors meaning or critically analyze or challenge authors conclusions. This can be done as a whole class or small group activity and could include students presenting or defending their own interpretations/points of view through debate (IES, 2008)]]> 2020-10-08 04:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/vrgbc94r5xw2c7gl/wish/812645996 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/vrgbc94r5xw2c7gl/wish/812649400 Students need to build confidence to meet new literacy challenges; confident readers are more likely to be engaged (Lent, 2009). Students should have opportunities to read multiple perspectives on real-life issues and experiences as well as share their own. Teachers should select high interest material for their audience and allow students to choose as well. Wide independent reading develops fluency, builds vocabulary and knowledge of text structures, and offers the reader the experience they need to read and construct meaning with more challenging texts (NCTE, 2018).]]> 2020-10-08 04:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/vrgbc94r5xw2c7gl/wish/812649400 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/vrgbc94r5xw2c7gl/wish/812651097 Some adolescents need more support to increase literacy skills. The purpose of supplemental, intensive  and individualized reading interventions is to help improve these skills. This is a 2-step process that includes an initial screening assessment to identify who needs extra help. Next is a diagnostic test to provide a profile of the students literacy strengths and weaknesses and determine students skill level. 
Could include fundamental skills such as phonemic awareness, decoding, text reading fluency, building vocabulary ect.
