  • The Truth About Reading Recovery® Response to Cook, Rodes, & Lipsitz (2017) from the Reading Recovery Council of North America
    The Truth About Reading Recovery® Response to Cook, Rodes, & Lipsitz (2017) from the Reading Recovery Council of North America In an article appearing in Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, authors Cook, Rodes, and Lipsitz (2017) make multiple misleading, misguided, and blatantly false claims about Reading Recovery® in yet another attack to discredit the most widely researched early reading intervention in the world. When you’re recognized as a leader with proven success, you often become the target for those with limited knowledge who apply broad strokes and twist the truth to fit their own perceptions of reality. The unfortunate reality, in this case, is that this article, “The Reading Wars and Reading Recovery: What Educators, Families, and Taxpayers Should Know,” is an affront to researchers, scholars, educators, and others who know the facts and a disservice to parents of children with reading difficulties. The authors claim to provide information necessary to make evidence-based decisions in support of struggling beginning readers. Like evidence-based medicine, these decisions can have a critical impact on children’s lives. As in the medical context, objective professionals can differ in their interpretations of the available evidence. The authors’ perspective is far from objective. They invoke the “reading wars” in their title and advocate for their ideological perspective in their biased, selective, and fallacy-full analysis of Reading Recovery and the research related to this early intervention approach. Dr. Timothy Shanahan, past president of the International Reading Association (now International Literacy Association) and a distinguished professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago, noted the effectiveness of Reading Recovery in a recent article examining the importance of replicability in reading research.

  • Worried About Word Work? Why, When, and What?
    11/2/2016 WORRIED ABOUT WORD WORK? WHY, WHEN, AND WHAT? ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDINGS Word work is necessary early in lessons for learning to look at print (LLAP) and embedded in continuous texts (reading and writing) in later lessons. What do the word work procedures LOOK LIKE for early and late lessons. Reading Writing WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT? We will examine video tapings to see word work in action. We would expect echoes across the lesson. We will use the word work cheat sheet as a guide across this presentation, so please have it handy. 1 11/2/2016 MARIE CLAY WORDS OF WISDOM “If the child has to make a short sharp detour from reading continuous text to study something in isolation, what is learned should soon recur in the context of continuous text because this is what reading books and writing stories is about.” Clay, LLI, Part 1, p. 25 WHOLE TO PART AND BACK TO WHOLE “A detour may help the child to pay attention to some particular aspect of print but, clearly, the detail is of limited value on its own. It must in the end be used in the service of reading and writing continuous text.” Clay, LLI, Part 1, p. 25 A LITTLE BIT OF THEORY – WHY WORD WORK “You relate what you hear or see to things you already understand. The moment of truth is the moment of input, How you attend How much you care How you encode What you do with it And how you organize it.

July 2003 ABSTRACT This is a longitudinal study of patterns of children's early literacy development with a view to predicting literacy achievement after one year of schooling. The study fits within an emergent/social constructivist theoretical framework that acknowledges a child as an active learner who constructs meaning from signs and symbols in the company of other more experienced language users. Commencing in the final month of preschool, the literacy achievement of 114 young Australian students was mapped throughout Year 1. Data were gathered from measures of literacy achievement with the students, surveys with parents and surveys and checklists with teachers. Cross-time comparisons were possible as data were gathered three times from the students and teachers and twice from parents. Parents’ perceptions of their children’s personal characteristics, ongoing literacy development and family home literacy practices were examined in relation to children’s measures of literacy achievement.

  • How and Why Children Learn About Sounds, Letters, and Words in Reading Recovery Lessons
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 437 616 CS 013 828 AUTHOR Fountas, Irene C.; Pinnell, Gay Su TITLE How and Why Children Learn about Sounds, Letters, and Words in Reading Recovery Lessons. INSTITUTION Reading Recovery Council of North America, Columbus, OH. PUB DATE 1999-00-00 NOTE 12p. PUB TYPE Guides Classroom Teacher (052) Journal Articles (080) Reports Research (143) JOURNAL CIT Running Record; v12 n1 p1-6,10-11,13-14 Fall 1999 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Beginning Reading; Classroom Research; *Classroom Techniques; Learning Activities; *Learning Processes; *Literacy; Primary Education; Word Recognition IDENTIFIERS Lesson Structure; *Orthography; Phonological Awareness; *Reading Recovery Projects; Word Learning ABSTRACT This article takes a look at Reading Recovery lesson elements to compare the teaching and learning within the lesson components to several areas of learning that have been identified at the national level as important to children's literacy learning. The lesson elements examined in the article are: (1) phonological awareness; (2) orthographic awareness; and (3) word learning in reading and writing. The article states that the first two areas of knowledge, and the way they are interrelated, contribute to young children's growth in the ability to solve words while reading for meaning, while the third area strongly supports learning in the first two areas and also helps to accelerate early learning in literacy. These elements together contribute to the child's development of a larger process in which the reader uses "in-the-head" strategies in an efficient way to access and orchestrate a variety of information, including meaning and language systems, with the visual and phonological information in print.

  • Introduction and Overview
    Introduction Literacy Lessons™ program is an intervention initiative developed by Marie Clay, internationally known researcher in early literacy learning and the prevention of reading and writing difficulties . The Literacy Lessons trademarks are registered and owned in the U .S . by The Ohio State University, which monitors the trademark requirements and issues annual authorization to use the Literacy Lessons trademark to Reading Recovery university training centers and sites in compliance with these standards . Literacy Lessons may also be referred to as LL™ . Note that the logos are registered marks of The Ohio State University and should be accompanied with the circle R (®)symbol . The words Literacy Lessons and the abbreviation LL should be followed by TM (™) . Only licensed sites can use the logos and the name Literacy Lessons to describe their work . Dr . Clay’s four required elements for a recognized Literacy Lessons implementation follow: 1 . Individually designed and individually delivered instruction for students from special populations who are struggling to develop an early literacy processing system 2 . A recognized course for qualified teachers with ongoing professional development 3 . Ongoing data collection, research, and evaluation 4 . Establishment of an infrastructure and standards to sustain the implementation and maintain quality control Standards and Guidelines of Literacy Lessons in the United States {00203356-1} — Updated June 2015 3 This document presents standards (requirements) and guidelines (recommendations) for implementing Literacy Lessons . Implementations in English and in Spanish are collaborative efforts between Reading Recovery/Descubriendo la Lectura university training centers and Reading Recovery/Descubriendo la Lectura teacher leaders 1. It is intended that Literacy Lessons will only be implemented in schools that include Reading Recovery as an early literacy intervention .
