Developmental Reading
Grades 7-8
Why is Data Driven Instruction
Important?
• Drives Instruction which provides curriculum
continuity.
• Allows for Differentiation for all students.
• Self-Monitoring for Student and Teacher.
• Allows teacher to become a diagnostician.
Academic Plan Revisions
• District Data
• Block Scheduling
• Curriculum Changes
• Student Needs
REWARDS
• REWARDS is a research-based and validated reading
program that increases content-area reading skills by
improving:
• Decoding
• Fluency
• Vocabulary
• Comprehension
• Test-taking
• Writing
Why REWARDS?
• Student achievement is highly related to opportunities
to respond. When students constantly say, write, or
do things in a lesson, they are much more likely to
learn from the resulting practice.
• As in all academic and nonacademic areas, students
are significantly more motivated if they experience
success. Careful lesson preparation, intentional
modeling of skills and strategies, and effective
correction of errors are three teacher behaviors that
increase students’ success.
Why REWARDS?

Develops strong foundational skills for improved test
taking.
Closes the achievement gap for students who lack early
foundational skills and enhances skills of students who are
average to above average readers.
Applies strategies across all content areas to support
student learning through academic language.
A scaffold instructional approach (“I do, we do, you do”)
moves students from guided to independent learning.
The goal of the instructional design of the REWARDS
program is for students to be successful in their content
area classes as well as advanced placement courses.
Why Teach Secondary REWARDS
A number of studies have determined that students’
oral reading fluency is correlated with reading
comprehension. As students read words more fluently,
they can turn their attention from decoding to
comprehension. This is particularly evident when
Students are faced with real life academic language.
(Taking the SAT, LSAT, etc.)
Independent Research
• Research
– 4th and 6th graders having difficulty reading longer
words had significant gains when taught to use
affixes and vowels to pronounce long words.
(Shefelbine, 1990)
– 7th, 8th, and 9th graders who were taught a decoding
strategy for reading long words had fewer oral
reading errors and increased reading comprehension.
(Lenz & Hughes, 1990)
How are Intermediate and Secondary
different?
REWARDS Secondary
• Students–Grades 6+
REWARDS Intermediate
• 20 lessons
• For Students–Grades 4-6
• Word choice, reading and
• 25 lessons
interest level–Grades 6+
• Word choice, reading and
interest level - Grades 4, 5 • Word relatives exercise
• Vocabulary exercise
&6
• Expanded instruction
focusing on word relatives
• More in-depth vocabulary
component
Differentiation of REWARDS Plus
• Use content textbooks or other texts to transfer
reading skills for application into other areas
and real world situations.
