Agenda/Topics to Be CoveredSlide3
To improve the learning outcomes of the 4 students who were in Tier 2 interventions for RTI.
To improve the sight word fluency for 4 first grade students.To improve comprehension as the students no longer struggle with sight words.To improve reading fluency. Students strive to learn the sight words to automaticity.
Problem of Practice
Reading Fluency: If a child is a struggling reader, he/she reads slowly and spends a great deal of time decoding words which in turn leads to poor comprehension.
Purpose of the ARI Funded Action ResearchSlide4
1 Surface Pro 4 Tablet. (purchased with grant money)1 Military Grade Cover, to make it resistant to damage around 6 and 7 year olds. (purchased with grant money)
1 Keyboard (purchased with school funds)
Technology PurchasedSlide5
Students who were already on the hot list for needing reading interventions were targeted.
I reviewed the SRA Imagine It Benchmark tests for reading fluency and further targeted students.I selected 4 students. These students are in Tier 2 RTI interventions.
The students were tested weekly for sight word fluency as a formative assessment.The students were also tested every six weeks for sight word fluency on a Benchmark Assessment.The students were tested each quarter for sight word recognition as a part of their report cards.
Classroom Action ResearchSlide6
Each day, the students interacted with the Immersive Reader (a part of OneNote Learning Tools).When they came to my workshop, I used flash cards as well to reinforce their sight word practice.
The students read the sight words as a formative assessment each Friday.Formative assessments, Benchmark Assessments, and the Summative Assessments (report card check list) were given on schedule.
Conducting the Action ResearchSlide7
Students learning sight words using Immersive Reader on OneNote!Slide8
Students from the STLP at Mullins also were used to place the 4 students’ reading books on OneNote so that they could also practice their sight words in context of a story.
Student Technology Leadership Program ParticipationSlide9
Students dramatically increased in their sight word recognition.
All of the 4 students had 80% or greater ability to read their assigned sight words.One student, who only knew 3% of the sight word list for 1
st grade in September, now can recognize 100% of the words to automaticity.On the MAP test (from beginning to the end of the school year), Student 1 increased 16 points, Student 2 increased 17 points, Student 3 increased 19 points, Student 4 increased 11 points

I was invited to the Global Microsoft Educator Exchange (also known as E2) in Toronto, Canada. This took place in March.
I won a World Wide 1st place in the Kid’s Choice Award for this project. This was voted on by Canadian school children.

If used on a regular basis, OneNote with Immersive Reader is very successful for first graders to have a significant improvement in sight word recognition. Sight word fluency leads to increased comprehension as well as a greater sentence and passage fluency. Students who do not struggle with sight words can spend their energy and time learning words relevant to the fiction and/or nonfiction stories in the curriculum.
