What factors influence reading achievement?
Access
:
Access and choice contribute substantially to reading achievement
(
Guthrie and Humenick, 200
4; Newman, 2000)
Choice:
Reading gains are significantly greater when students are allowed self-selection
(
Allington et. al. 2010; Ivy, 2015; Lindsay, 2013)
Volume
:
Reading frequency (amount of time) positively affects reading achievement; serves as a predictor of achievemen
t
(Anderson, Wilson, & Fielding, 1988; Stanovich & Cunningham, 1993)
Motivation:
Students who are intrinsically motivated to read engage in reading more often; and motivation can be influenced by instructional practices
(Gutherie, Wigfield, Tesala & cox, 1999; Guthrie, 1997)Slide12
What factors influence reading achievement?
Summer
:
When school is in session, students from low-socioeconomic families typically learn at the same rate as their financially better-off peers
(Alexander,
Entwisle, and Olson, 2007)
Access, choice and volume during the summer dramatically affects reading achievement especially for economically disadvantaged students.
Effects of reading 4-5 books over the summer was potentially large enough to prevent decline of summer loss
(Kim, 2004)Slide13Slide14

Curriculum:
Thematically centered around voice, vision and identity.
Encourages writing as a means to speak even when not spoken to.
Defining Self; Becoming Resilient; Engage Others; Build CapacitySlide16Slide17
Why writing is an important tool for encouraging individual voice and identity?
Raw Writes (no structure requirements)- How can I use art to contribute to or express my sense of self?
Writing Options: (structured)- refine an earlier writing, respond to the author's choice of language or examine how racial bias' are created and are the root of these feelings and beliefs.Slide18
