Goals Summary Goal 1: Students will write responses that demonstrate knowledge through the use of reading and writing strategies.
Progress Notes: Measurable Objective 1: 75% of All Students will demonstrate a proficiency 75% or more of our student population in English Language Arts by 06/30/2014 as measured by demonstrate kneledge through the use of reading and writing strategies that interpret and extend the use of information from texts across the curriculum as measured by various assessments.. Strategy 1: Differentiated Instruction: Small Group - Teachers will use the Scott Foresman Reading Street curriculum buy from DoDEA. Reading Street provides unique support for the teacher through direct and explicit instruction for each grade level; a step-by-step instructional plan; an assessment plan to ensure adequate yearly progress; customized instruction by strand; and differentiated instructional plans for struggling readers, advanced readers, and English Language Learners. Teachers provide both Tier I and Tier II instruction within the classroom. Special education teachers and reading coaches work collaboratively with grade level teachers to provide Tier III intervention.

Research Cited: Reading Street follows the Response to Intervention model (RTI). The goal of this three-tier model of reading instruction is to meet the instructional needs of all students. Reading Street meets this goal by providing a process that monitors student progress throughout the year. Through continuous progress monitoring, struggling readers are identified early and interventions are put in place to prevent them from falling behind. Tier I is the core classroom instruction for all students. In Reading Street, the On-Level or Advanced instruction addresses the five core areas of reading instruction: Phonemic awareness Phonics Fluency

Vocabulary Comprehension Tier II is supplemental small-group instruction for Strategic Intervention students. It is designed to prevent struggling readers from falling behind. Daily instruction supports and enhances core classroom instruction by reteaching core concepts and providing additional teacher modeling, more scaffolding, and multiple opportunities for practice. More time is spent on task with these students because children in this tier benefit from an additional thirty minutes per day of small-group instruction. Tier III instruction consists of an intensive intervention program called My Sidewalks that parallels Reading Street in concepts and vocabulary. The instruction in My Sidewalks moves at a slower pace.

Strategy 2: 6+1 Traits of Writing - The 6+1 trait analytical model for writing uses common language and scoring guides to identify traits year-to-year as students and teachers refine our idea of what "good" writing looks like. Teachers teach the 6+1 traits as well as utilize the rubrics for scoring all writing assignments and writing assessments. The 6+1 Trait Writing analytical model for assessing and teaching writing is made up of 6+1 key qualities that define strong writing. These are: Ideas, the main message; Organization, the internal structure of the piece; Voice, the personal tone and flavor of the author's message; Word Choice, the vocabulary a writer chooses to convey meaning; Sentence Fluency, the rhythm and flow of the language; Conventions, the mechanical correctness; and Presentation, how the writing actually looks on the page. Ideas The Ideas are the main message, the content of the piece, the main theme, together with all the supporting details that enrich and develop that theme. The ideas are

Hainerberg Elementary School

strong when the message is clear, not garbled. The writer chooses details that are interesting, important, and informativeoften the kinds of details the reader would not normally anticipate or predict. Successful writers do not "tell" readers things they already know; e.g., "It was a sunny day, and the sky was blue, the clouds were fluffy white " Successful writers "show" readers that which is normally overlooked; writers seek out the extraordinary, the unusual, the unique, the bits and pieces of life that might otherwise be overlooked. Organization Organization is the internal structure of a piece of writing, the thread of central meaning, the pattern and sequence, so long as it fits the central idea. Organizational structure can be based on comparison-contrast, deductive logic, point-by-point analysis, development of a central theme, chronological history of an event, or any of a dozen other identifiable patterns. When the organization is strong, the piece begins meaningfully and creates in the writer a sense of anticipation that is, ultimately, systematically fulfilled. Events proceed logically; information is given to the reader in the right doses at the right times so that the reader never loses interest. Connections are strong, which is another way of saying that bridges from one idea to the next hold up. The piece closes with a sense of resolution, tying up loose ends, bringing things to a satisfying closure, answering important questions while still leaving the reader something to think about. Voice Voice is the writer coming through the words, the sense that a real person is speaking to us and cares about the message. It is the heart and soul of the writing, the magic, the wit, the feeling, the life and breath. When the writer is engaged personally with the topic, he/she imparts a personal tone and flavor to the piece that is unmistakably his/hers alone. And it is that individual somethingdifferent from the mark of all other writersthat we call Voice. Word Choice Word Choice is the use of rich, colorful, precise language that communicates not just in a functional way, but in a way that moves and enlightens the reader. In descriptive writing, strong word choice resulting in imagery, especially sensory, show-me writing, clarifies and expands ideas. In persuasive writing, purposeful word choice moves the reader to a new vision of ideas. In all modes of writing figurative language such as metaphors, similes and analogies articulate, enhance, and enrich the content. Strong word choice is characterized not so much by an exceptional vocabulary chosen to impress the reader, but more by the skill to use everyday words well. Sentence Fluency Sentence Fluency is the rhythm and flow of the language, the sound of word patterns, the way in which the writing plays to the ear, not just to the eye. How does it sound when read aloud? That's the test. Fluent writing has cadence, power, rhythm, and movement. It is free of awkward word patterns that slow the reader's progress. Sentences vary in length, beginnings, structure, and style, and are so well crafted that the reader moves through the piece with ease. Conventions The Conventions Trait is the mechanical correctness of the piece and includes five elements: spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar/usage, and paragraphing. Writing that is strong in Conventions has been proofread and edited with care. Since this trait has so many pieces to it, it's almost an analytical trait within an analytic system. As you assess a piece for convention, ask yourself: "How much work would a copy editor need to do to prepare the piece for publication?" This will keep all of the elements in conventions equally in play. Conventions is the only trait where we make specific grade level accommodations, and expectations should be based on grade level to include only those skills that have been taught. (Handwriting and neatness are not part of this trait. They belong with Presentation.) Presentation Presentation combines both visual and textual elements. It is the way we exhibit or present our message on paper. Even if our ideas, words, and sentences are vivid, precise, and well constructed, the writing will not be inviting to read unless the guidelines of presentation are present. Some of those guidelines include: balance of white space with visuals and text, graphics, neatness, handwriting, font selection, borders, overall appearance. Think about examples of text and visual presentation in

your environment. Which signs and billboards attract your attention? Why do you reach for one CD over another? All great writers are aware of the necessity of presentation, particularly technical writers who must include graphs, maps, and visual instructions along with their text. Presentation is key to a polished piece ready for publication.

Research Cited: Experimental Study on the Impact of the 6+1 Trait Writing Model on Student Achievement in Writing By Michael Kozlow and Peter Bellamy http://educationnorthwest.org/resource/446 This report presents the results of a study that examined the efficacy of professional development for teachers using the 6+1 Trait Writing model with respect to improving student writing skills. To achieve this purpose, a randomized experimental study was conducted in 2003-2004 in grades 4 to 6 to determine the extent to which a two-day workshop on the 6+1 Trait Writing model affected teacher practices and student achievement in writing. The study examined fidelity of implementation through a teacher survey on classroom practices to determine the extent to which teachers implemented the desired strategies and to describe differences between classroom practices of teachers in the treatment group and those of teachers in the control group. Student achievement in writing was measured by having students write on assigned prompts to produce narrative, descriptive, or persuasive pieces of writing. Research on Writing with the 6+1 Traits By Peter C. Bellamy http://educationnorthwest.org/resource/447 The notion is widespread that children must learn to read before they can write. However, Bissex (1980), Chomsky (1971) and Graves (1983) found that young children begin writing as or even before they learn to read, because they have a need to communicate ideas and concepts that have been discovered by experience rather than in books. And this communication serves not only to share thoughts, but also to help organize them into coherent categories. Six-Trait Writing Model Improves Scores at Jennie Wilson Elementary Journal of School Improvement Fall/Winter 2000; Vol 1, Issue 2 By Deb Jarmer, Maurine Kozol, Sheri Nelson, Trudy Salsberry http://educationnorthwest.org/resource/449 "Anecdotal data is supported by more systematic research studies like the one conducted in 1992-1993 in Portland, Oregon (NWREL, 1992-1993). Six fifth-grade classrooms were selected to study the effect of teaching the six analytic traits to students. The classrooms represented diverse student populations (rural/urban, native/non-native English speakers, and a range of ethnicities). Three of the classrooms received traditional instruction while the other three were taught the six-trait method. The results from pre and post tests revealed large differences in writing performance between the two groups. "

Strategy 4: Vocabulary Development - Vocabulary: Read regular and irregular high frequency words automatically. Develop vocabulary through direct instruction, concrete experiences, reading, and listening to text read aloud. Use word structure to figure out word meaning. Use context clues to determine word meaning of unfamiliar words, multiple-meaning words, homonyms, and homographs. Use grade-appropriate reference sources to learn word meanings. Use new words tn a variety of contexts. Use graphic organizers to group, study, and retrain vocabulary. Classify and categorize words. Research Cited: The National Reading Panel (NICHD, 2000) identified vocabulary as one of five major components of reading. Its importance to overall school success and more specifically to reading comprehension is widely documented (Baker, Simmons, & Kameenui, 1998; Anderson & Nagy, 1991). The National Reading Panel (NRP) stated that vocabulary plays an important role both in learning to read and in comprehending text: readers cannot understand text without knowing what most of the words mean. Teaching vocabulary will not guarantee success in reading, just as learning to read words will not guarantee success in reading. However, lacking either adequate word identification skills or adequate vocabulary will ensure failure (Biemiller, 2005). Vocabulary is generically defined as the knowledge of words and word meanings. More specifically, we use vocabulary to refer to the kind of words that students must know to read increasingly demanding text with comprehension (Kamil & Hiebert, 2005). It is something that expands and deepens over time. The NRPs synthesis of vocabulary research identified eight findings that provide a scientifically based foundation for the design of rich, multifaceted vocabulary instruction. The findings are: Provide direct instruction of vocabulary words for a specific text. Anderson and Nagy (1991) pointed out there are precise words children may need to know in order to comprehend particular lessons or subject matter. Repetition and multiple exposures to vocabulary items are important. Stahl (2005) cautioned against mere repetition or drill of the word, emphasizing that vocabulary instruction should provide students with opportunities to encounter words repeatedly and in a variety of contexts. Vocabulary words should be those that the learner will find useful in many contexts. Instruction of high-frequency words known and used by mature language users can add productively to an individuals

language ability (Beck, McKeown, & Kucan, 2002). Research suggests that vocabulary learning follows a developmental trajectory (Biemiller, 2001). Vocabulary tasks should be restructured as necessary. Once students know what is expected of them in a vocabulary task, they often learn rapidly (Kamil, 2004). Vocabulary learning is effective when it entails active engagement that goes beyond definitional knowledge. Stahl and Kapinus (2001) stated, When children know a word, they not only know the words definition and its logical relationship with other words, they also know how the word functions in different contexts. Computer technology can be used effectively to help teach vocabulary. Encouragement exists but relatively few specific instructional applications can be gleaned from the research (NICHD, 2000). Vocabulary can be acquired through incidental learning. Reading volume is very important in terms of long-term vocabulary development (Cunningham & Stanovich, 1998). In later work, Cunningham (2005) further recommended structured read-alouds, discussion sessions and independent reading experiences at school and home to encourage vocabulary growth in students. Dependence on a single vocabulary instruction method will not result in optimal learning (NICHD, 2000). Stahl (2005) stated, Vocabulary knowledge is knowledge; the knowledge of a word not only implies a definition, but also implies how that word fits into the world. Consequently, researchers and practitioners alike seek to identify, clarify, and understand what it means for students to know what a word means. The sheer complexity of vocabulary acquisition, as evidenced by reviewing critical components such as receptive vocabulary versus productive vocabulary, oral vocabulary versus print vocabulary, and breadth of vocabulary versus depth of vocabulary (Kamil & Hiebert, 2005) raise questions worthy of further research. Other factors such as variations in students vocabulary size (Anderson & Freebody, 1981; Nagy, 2005), levels of word knowledge (Dale, 1965; Graves & Watts-Taffe, 2002), as well as which words are taught (Beck et al., 2002; Biemiller, 2005) and how word knowledge is measured (Biemiller, 2005) must all be considered in shaping our understanding of vocabulary acquisition.
