PODCAST

The Reading Instruction Show

Dr. Andy Johnson

The Reading Instruction Show is a podcast about reading instruction (and other things) with a little bit of attitude. There is plenty here to inform and entertain all. And, by the way, I"m not trying to sell any books. I don"t have any curriculum or programs to market. I don"t accept speaking fees. And, I don"t ever want to be a consultant.

EMOTIONS, MOTIVATION, AND READING DISABILITIES

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/06/11

Affect in education usually refer to emotions and motivation. Since these do not show up on test scores, to the educational bureaucracy, they do not exist; however, they are, arguably, the most important components in teaching and learning, especially if you are a student with a special learning need. In this podcast we examine emotion, motivation, and learning to read, with a special focus on adolescents.

STANDARDIZED TESTS: YOU CAN'T TEACH A SNEETCH!

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/06/04

Psychometricians, educational psychologists, and the companies that publish standardized have convinced people that learning can be quantified and that the numbers generated on these standardized tests mean much more than they do. They promote the false idea that larger numbers mean more learning and more effective teaching, and lower numbers mean less learning and less effective teaching. Students are then sorted into high-numbered groups and low-numbered groups.

EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND THEORETICAL MODELS OF READING

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/06/02

Educational research is used to create the theories upon we design educational policies and practices are designed. Theories help to organize relevant empirical facts (empirical means they can be observed or measured), in order to create a context for understanding phenomena. Put another way, a theory is a way to explain a set of facts. If reality were a dot-to-dot picture, a theory would be a way to connect a set of data dotsTheories are built, not on a single research study, but on a collection

Some of the ideas about reading instruction that I have presented in various formats may be at odds with your previous ways of thinking about things. In fact, some of these ideas may directly conflict with what you believe to be true regarding how children learn to read and how you should teach them to read. This is good. Dissonance or disequilibrium is an important part of learning. I would invite you to neither accept nor reject these new ideas. Touch them. Carry them with you for a bit. Let

SCIENTIFICALLY BASED READING RESEARCH: WHAT IS IT?

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/05/27

We want reading instruction for all students to be based on “scientifically based research”. In RTI students are identified for special education services based on how they respond to interventions that are supported by scientifically based research. As well, at our Universities, we are required to make sure preservice teachers receive instruction in reading methods that are supported by scientifically based research. It cannot be just any old kind of research; it must be scientifically based

Federal guidelines related to IEPs for reading state that special education services (instruction and interventions), should be based on “peer-reviewed research.” This podcast explores the mystery of peer-reviewed research and the National Reading Panel. There are four things to take from this podcast related to peer-reviewed research and reading instruction:(1) It is not a perfect process, but it is a process and this process is important.(2) The process is not without bias or flaws.

SHARED READING: A MULTILEVEL READING STRATEGY

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/05/15

The purpose of a shared reading lesson is to enable the whole class to share insights or have a common discussion around a book or text. Here students of varying ability levels interact with concepts, vocabulary, and ideas in authentic contexts in creative and engaging ways. And while shared reading is designed around a common text; it is not, nor should it ever become a venue for round robin reading.

.An individual Orton-Gillingham course costs over $2,000 and associate level training costs $4,000 plus $250 for materials. There are various levels of training and certification that can be purchased. What you get for your money is an expensive, Humpty-Dumptian approach to reading instruction where children are taught a specified list of reading subskills in a predetermined order and in a specified way. the Orton-Gillingham magic ingredient is “multisensory” instruction.

FIDELITY OR EDUCATIONAL MALPRACTICE?

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/05/08

Fidelity is a term often misused by the designers of commercially-prepared reading interventions and by decision-makers outside the classroom. Teachers are told they must implement an evidence-based program with “fidelity”. This term has been misinterpreted in an educational setting to mean following the instructional recipe exactly as written. In other words, fidelity means that teachers are required to follow the directions and do exactly what the program designers tell them to do without question

Rosalie Fink (Fink, 1996; Fink, 1998) Interviewed successful men and women with dyslexia to see why they were able to be so successful despite their profound “disability”. She discovered that all these successful adults were all allowed to immerse themselves and read in areas of interest as children. Here, they developed expertise, built conceptual and vocabulary knowledge and became familiar with the schemes and structures of the types of texts found in their field. This background knowledge was

EYE MOVEMENT DURING READING

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/05/03

As you read sentences on a page your eyeballs do not move from left to right, letter-to-letter, word-to-word in a straight, steady line. If you were able to attach little lasers to your eyeballs you would see that your eyes are actually hovering and jumping about like a hummingbird. They move unevenly, go back occasionally, skip some words, and fixate on others. These small, rapid, jerky movements that your eyes make are called saccades. It only appears that you are moving them from left to right in

LANGUAGE EXPERIENCE ACTIVITIES

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/04/29

Language experience activities are an effective strategy to use with beginning level readers. Here students dictate an experience or story to the teacher. The teacher then records what students say. I strongly recommended that you use this activity with each intervention session for two reasons: First on an interpersonal level, language experience activities enable you to make personal connections with your students. You can find out what is going on in their lives as well as what they find

THE IMPORTANCE OF READING PRACTICE FOR ALL STUDENTS

The Reading Instruction Show ·

2020/04/28

Reading practice is incredibly important. Extensive reading has been linked to improvement in general knowledge, vocabulary, spelling, verbal fluency, and reading comprehension. Also, the amount of reading students do is positively correlated with word identification skills, academic achievement, comprehension, reading fluency, and writing. Finally, increasing the time spent reading independently has been shown to be an effective way to reduce the gap between high and low achieving readers.

Students with dyslexia need more intense versions of the types of reading instruction that occurs within a general education setting. Intensity here refers to (a) more time, (b) more time-on-task, (c) more time engaged in authentic literacy activities [reading and writing], and (d) smaller instructional groups (3 to 7 students). It should include variations of the following seven elements:1. Word work.2. Word identification.3. Maze and cloze work.4. Comprehension.5. Reading practice.6. Fluency

Depending on what study is cited and what definition of reading and reading deficiency is used, anywhere from 6% to 20% of students are what might be called “struggling readers”. Also depending on studies and definitions, anywhere from 3% to 5% of students are severely struggling readers. Terms like “reading disability”, “severe reading disability” and even “dyslexia: have been used with this group. This is the focus of this podcast
