Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on evaluating the READ 180 reading intervention program which is designed for students in grades 4 through 12 at least two years below level. The goal of READ 180 is to address the unique needs of adolescent learners and their literacy gaps through the use of literature, direct instruction in reading skills, and a computer program. In the 21st century, adolescents will have to read and write more than any other time in human history (National Institute for Literacy, 2007). As schools strive to improve student literacy, more than ever, districts are turning to programs such as READ 180 as a solution to ensure reading proficiency. Even though there are numerous research studies on the benefits of READ 180 (Caggiano, 2007; Papalewis, 2004; Scholastic, 2002), there is limited research that specifically focuses on whether or not READ 180 meets the needs of students with learning disabilities and students with learning disabilities who are English Language Learners (ELLs). This program evaluation examined administrators’, teachers’, and students’ perceptions of the impact of the READ 180 reading intervention program on reading comprehension skills in seventh and eighth grade middle school students with learning disabilities and seventh and eighth grade middle school students with learning disabilities who are English Language Learners (ELLs). Multiple sources of data were utilized for this program evaluation. Frequency distributions were used to analyze students’ survey responses. The constant comparison method was used to categorize, compare, and theme data collected from focus groups and interviews (Charmaz, 2006; Glaser & Strauss, 1967). Findings among students, READ 180 teachers, and administrators were similar, indicating the READ 180 program positively impacted students’ confidence in, and motivation toward reading. Additionally, findings revealed students, teachers, and administrators perceived the teacher has the greatest impact on improving reading comprehension skills. Students did not perceive their attitudes toward reading were influenced by READ 180; however, on their survey responses they indicated that they enjoyed reading and felt successful when reading. READ 180 teachers thought the program did influence students’ attitudes toward reading. During the focus groups, English Language Learners (ELLs) responded that the READ 180 did represent their cultural backgrounds and met their language learning needs; although, their survey data indicated students’ were not able to make connections to their family and home life when they read the stories, books, or completed the activities in the READ 180 class. Student focus group data revealed they perceived that the technology in READ 180 did facilitate their reading comprehension; however, their survey data indicated the computer as the least helpful of the program. READ 180 teachers perceived the technology in READ 180 did facilitate students’ reading comprehension while administrators perceived the technology did not facilitate students’ reading comprehension. Students in the READ 180 class enjoyed reading and felt successful in their reading comprehension. Results of the program evaluation have implications for instructional leadership and the support for literacy at the district level as well as at the school level.

Book excerpt: This mixed methodological study examined the impact the READ 180 reading program has on increasing the percentage of minority and economically disadvantaged eighth grade students achieving proficiency in reading on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA). The descriptive case study also investigated the program's effect on students' motivation to read. Participants in the study included seven eighth grade teachers who worked exclusively with eighth grade students in an alternative education school located in an urban school district in Pennsylvania. Quantitative and qualitative data collection provided information about READ 180's effect on increasing reading proficiency on the PSSA, and teachers' perceptions about the effectiveness of the program on improving reading proficiency and students' motivation to read. Quantitative reading data from 22 eighth grade students were obtained throughout the 2006-2007 school year from 4Sight Benchmark Reading Test 1, Test 3 and Test 5. Additional quantitative data were collected through administration of the PSSA Reading test. Qualitative data were gathered from seven teachers who completed the Teachers' READ 180 Perceptions Survey, a 20-item Likert scale instrument, and five teachers who participated in subsequent interviews and classroom observations. Findings of the study showed that READ 180 improved the reading proficiency of students on the PSSA. Baseline data from 4Sight Test 1 indicated that three students read at grade level with proficiency. Posttest data from the PSSA showed that 50% of the eighth grade students read with proficiency. Research findings from the survey responses revealed teachers' perceptions that the READ 180 program improved students' reading proficiency in specific ways. A high level of agreement occurred among participants' perceptions that READ 180 improved students' decoding skills, reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Higher levels of agreement were seen in participants' perceptions that READ 180 increased students' motivation to read.

Download or read book Examining the Scholastic READ 180 Program Teachers' Perceptions Regarding Local Setting Factors and Role of the Teacher Impacting the Program's Implementation in Seventh Grade at Three Middle Schools written by Luanne Gagliardi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine three seventh grade R180 teachers' perceptions regarding the local setting factors and role of the teacher impacting the program's implementation across the three middle schools. The conceptual framework guiding this study was derived from the Scholastic R180 Logic-of-Change Model, which depicts an instructional sequence leading to a long-term goal of improved student reading performance and the connections between the activities and the expected outcomes throughout the steps of the program. The model is grounded in the Theory-of-Change concept, which provides the theoretical understanding of changes that must occur when schools are implementing new programs to support student achievement (Weiss, 1995). This descriptive, multiple-site case study examined three R180 teachers' perceptions in regard to how the local setting factors and role of the teacher that impacted the R180 program in the seventh grade. The four data sources were teacher surveys, teacher interviews, classroom observations, and artifacts obtained during the interview process. A case study protocol guided the collection, analysis, and writing of data, findings, conclusions, and recommendations. The study identified two major conclusions. First, the two dominant roles, facilitator and motivator, influenced the successful implementation of the R180 program to help increase students' reading comprehension. Secondly, the study concluded that a positive school or classroom environment, the supportive nature of administration and other staff members, and meaningful professional development appear to sustain the R180 program implementation, while time constraints and technical difficulties can be major obstacles in implementing the program. The study allowed the researcher to gain a clearer perspective of the critical roles that teachers play if they are to successfully facilitate the R180 program and effectively motivate their students in understanding and appreciating reading as a necessary lifelong skill. The study also demonstrated that local setting factors in school communities need to support the efforts of the R180 teacher. However, it is incumbent upon the teachers to affect positive change regardless of the obstacles in their way. A major part of this commitment is the teachers' obligation to improve their instructional practices and student learning and promote an productive classroom environment that cares about how students learn and how well they learn. Future recommendations for practice should include university preparation for aspiring teachers to take at least one reading course designed to address the needs, abilities, and disposition of the older struggling reader; on-going professional development opportunities for R180 teachers to expand their R180 practices through Scholastic sponsored coaching sessions; and appropriate funding to maintain the R180 technology component. Future recommendations for research would include a replication of the present study using a larger sample of R180 teachers; a study examining strategies for motivating low-achieving students; a study examining the R180 students' perceptions of the role of the teacher and local setting factors that impact their learning; and a study replicated at the middle school level with special education R180 classes to examine how the R180 teachers perceive the role of the teacher and local setting factors that support or hinder the R180 program.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, interests in the cyclical nature of reading failure have increased, resulting in programs designed to address the needs of adolescent students. Among many programs for older struggling readers, READ 180 is a program widely used in urban schools that addresses the needs of older struggling students. The purpose of this study was to determine what, if any, teacher and administrator practices used in the READ 180 program best support the literacy learning of older struggling readers in an urban school district that is populated predominantly by African American students.Four research questions guided this study: (1) what are the relationships between selected demographic characteristics of READ 180 teachers and their students' approximate grade-level gain in reading? (2) What is the relationship between selected teachers' reported use of instructional practices and their students' approximate grade-level gain in reading? (3) What is the relationship between teachers' perceptions of READ 180's potential for students' literacy learning and their students' approximate grade-level gain in reading? And (4) What is the relationship between teachers' perceptions of administrative support and their students approximate grade-level gain in reading?The analysis of the data yielded four major findings. There was a statistically significant difference in the age and years of teaching experience in READ 180 of those teachers whose students scored at or above the district norms and those who scored below district norms. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of teachers in their reported classroom practices, perceptions of the READ 180 programs' potential for improving students' literacy learning, or perceptions of administrative support. However, from the open-ended responses, two classroom practices were identified as most useful, small-group instruction and computer-assisted instruction, while independent reading and whole-group instruction were identified as least useful. The two strategies that were identified by teachers as most helpful and most needed for administrative staff were access to supplies as most helpful and scheduling and monitoring of students as most needed. The findings of the study led to implications for practicing teachers, administrators, and researchers.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if improving reading achievement through Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s (HMH) READ 180 program impacted a student’s reading self-efficacy. Of the students participating in this study, particular attention was placed on the factors of gender, ethnicity, and the length of time students were exposed to HMH’s READ 180 program. -- The setting for this research was three middle schools in upstate South Carolina. The schools sampled were from a combination of urban, suburban, and rural populations. The study’s methodology was quantitative and correlational. -- When reviewing the results of the study, the research indicated that there was a statistically significant effect on the factor of ethnicity concerning STAR Reading Grade Equivalent scores. It was also determined that there was a statistical significance concerning the STAR Reading Lexile scores and the factors of ethnicity and time. Concerning reading self-efficacy, there was statistical significance found in the area of process concerning time. Additionally, statistical significance was found in the areas of social feedback and physiological status concerning ethnicity. Also, a correlation was found between the Reading Inventory and STAR Reading Grade Equivalent score as well as between the student achievement scores and three of the four areas from the Reader Self-Perception Scale 2 (RSPS2).
