Slide61. Personalize Reading Practice—STAR Reading Assessment
Use a STAR assessment for baseline data
BOY STAR Reading Assessment- Aug-Sept
Slide7Slide82. Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
Slide9Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
ZPD represents the level of difficulty that is neither too hard nor too easy, and is the level at which optimal learning takes place.Practice a skill at the right level will get the most from our efforts
Practicing with books that are too hard results in frustration. Practicing with books that are too easy does little to improve skills and leads to boredom.
Accelerated Reader; ZPD matches students to appropriate books.
Slide103. Set Goals
Slide11Setting Goals—How Much
practice?
Set individual goals for students at 85-90%
Set Individual book level goal
Slide12Book Level
represents the difficulty of the text. It is determined by a readability formula called ATOS
ATOS analyzes the average length of the sentences in the book, the average length of the words, and the average grade level of the words. ATOS reports the overall book level in terms of grade.
Personalize Learning
Differentiate Instruction
Slide13When setting a goal for average book level, consider the student's reading level and
Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which is a range of book levels that are neither too easy nor too challenging (and listed on the Goal Setting Chart and the Goal-Setting Chart for Lexile® Measures). We recommend setting the average book level as a minimum goal - at or near the lower end of the ZPD.
Slide14ZPD
Allow students to start at the beginning of their ZPDAllow to read throughout their range
Monitor student reading

Slide27Reading Logs
Reading logs should serve as both teaching tools and data for the classroom teacher. They should provide teachers with the information that they need in order to help guide students towards a stronger, richer, and more meaningful reading life.
Helps teachers monitor student progress-Reading Levels
Slide28Open-book quizzing
Teachers are discouraged from allowing open-book quizzing with Accelerated Reader. When a student relies on recall while quizzing, quiz scores indicate the student’s level of reading comprehension.
If a student relies on finding information in a book while quizzing, the quiz results no longer accurately indicate reading comprehension. A student may continue to select books that are too difficult, yet pass the quiz by looking up answers in the book
Slide29Open-book quizzing
As a result, the teacher may not realize for some time that the student needs additional support to improve reading comprehension—until that student receives a low score on the STAR Reading assessment, a state test, or another standardized test of reading achievement.
There are a couple exceptions where open-book quizzing in AR may be allowedDuring instruction of how to take Accelerated Reader quizzes, but for no more than two weeks
During instruction of how to read nonfiction and take corresponding Accelerated Reader quizzes, but for no more than two weeksFor emergent readers who read picture books
