This book was released on 2013 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proficient level is the goal for student performance on the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2012). With only 25% of California's grade four students performing at or above the Proficient level on the 2011 English language arts section of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) achievement tests, too many third-grade students cannot read at grade level. California's Hispanic students fared worse, with only 13% of fourth-grade students performing at or above the Proficient level. Might afterschool programs (ASP) be an opportunity to combat the achievement gap and help ensure all students are reading by the end of third grade? This mixedmethods study used California Standards Test (CST) Comprehension scores, observation, and case studies at a Northern California school, to explore the following questions: 1. Is there a significant difference, as measured by CST scores, in comprehension achievement between third through fifth grade students in an afterschool program and those not in an afterschool program? x 2. Is there a significant difference in comprehension achievement between Hispanic students and non-Hispanic students attending Ross Elementary? 3. In what ways does the afterschool program bolster reading comprehension success? The quantitative findings for Questions 1 and 2 showed that students attending the ASP did not have a significant difference on CST comprehension scores. Question 3, in a qualitative study, provided an opportunity to view students in the afterschool program through the lenses of Systems Theory (focusing on Bronfenbrenner's (1979) Ecology of Human Development Theory), Universal Design for Learning Theory, and the Appreciative Inquiry Theory. The theories formulated from qualitative data, showed illustration of support that could lead to increased student achievement via: 1. Instructional support 2. Environment of mutual trust 3. Positive expectations and environment The history and role of afterschool programs (ASPs) are examined to better understand ASPs, their purposes, and key funding sources. This study concludes with policy and future research recommendations.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Fourth-graders' Participation in the Reading Education Assistance Dog® (R.E.A.D.®) Program Has on Overall Reading, Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Lexile® Scores by : Sara Tamborello (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford)
Download or read book The Impact of Fourth-graders' Participation in the Reading Education Assistance Dog® (R.E.A.D.®) Program Has on Overall Reading, Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Lexile® Scores written by Sara Tamborello (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this exploratory case study was to examine if fourth-graders in an educational, after-school care program who participated in a Reading Education Assistance Dog (R.E.A.D.®) therapy program improved their overall reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and Lexile® scores as assessed by the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test (GMRT). Fourth-grade students who attended an educational, after-school care program at a rural elementary school in New England were the subjects of this study. There were eight participants in the study. Employing a quasi-experimental design, five participants in the experimental group participated in the R.E.A.D. ® program and three participants in the control group did not participate in the R.E.A.D.® program. The GMRT pretest and posttest scores of fourth-graders who participated in a ten-week R.E.A.D.® program were compared with the scores of fourth-graders who did not participate in a R.E.A.D. ® program prior to taking the GMRT posttest. The lens for this study was Meehan and Smith’s (2010) comparative case study “Reading Aloud to Dogs Improves Reading Skills and Self-Animal Perception Among School-Aged Children.” The authors found that third-grade children who read aloud to reading dogs improved their reading fluency by an average of 12% and children in various grades who were home-schooled improved by an average of 30%. This study sought to examine if reading aloud to dogs through participation in the R.E.A.D.® program also improved participants’ overall reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and Lexile® scores. Although slight growth was exhibited in all of the areas studied, the findings were not significant. One factor may have been the small sample size. However, teachers, administrators, and educational, afterschool care programs should be emboldened to bring the R.E.A.D.® program to work with struggling readers in their schools or programs.

Download or read book How The Other Half Learns written by Robert Pondiscio and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at America's most controversial charter schools, and the moral and political questions around public education and school choice. The promise of public education is excellence for all. But that promise has seldom been kept for low-income children of color in America. In How the Other Half Learns, teacher and education journalist Robert Pondiscio focuses on Success Academy, the network of controversial charter schools in New York City founded by Eva Moskowitz, who has created something unprecedented in American education: a way for large numbers of engaged and ambitious low-income families of color to get an education for their children that equals and even exceeds what wealthy families take for granted. Her results are astonishing, her methods unorthodox. Decades of well-intended efforts to improve our schools and close the "achievement gap" have set equity and excellence at war with each other: If you are wealthy, with the means to pay private school tuition or move to an affluent community, you can get your child into an excellent school. But if you are poor and black or brown, you have to settle for "equity" and a lecture--about fairness. About the need to be patient. And about how school choice for you only damages public schools for everyone else. Thousands of parents have chosen Success Academy, and thousands more sit on waiting lists to get in. But Moskowitz herself admits Success Academy "is not for everyone," and this raises uncomfortable questions we'd rather not ask, let alone answer: What if the price of giving a first-rate education to children least likely to receive it means acknowledging that you can't do it for everyone? What if some problems are just too hard for schools alone to solve?

This book was released on 2005 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Research in the area of reading clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of explicit and systematic instruction when teaching students "reading to learn" skills such as vocabulary and text comprehension. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effects of the Reading Success Level A program on the comprehension skills of 93 fourth graders across four general education classrooms. Two general education teachers participated in this study over a 6-month period. Pre- and posttest data were collected on individual student performance using the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI). In addition, within- program assessments including mastery tests and quizzes were administered as part of the program. Results showed that students who participated in Reading Success Level A demonstrated statistically significant gains in reading comprehension performance from pre- to posttest. In addition, at-risk readers made similar gains to those readers who were not at-risk indicating that Reading Success Level A was effective across students. Results are discussed in terms of the implications for effective reading comprehension instruction and areas of future research"--Document.
