Corbin Elementary Demographics

• Grades 3 and 4
• Student population of 399
• 45 Special needs Students

4
Needs

• When school began we had 397 students enter our
  building in August of 2008. Of those, 55 students
  were two grade levels behind in reading.
• The question
• How do we meet the needs of all these students?

5
Objective

• Our goal is to get as many of our students as
  possible reading on grade level before they leave
  our building.
• To select research based programs to address the
  needs of our students.
• To progress monitor these students to
  proficiency.

6
Universal Screener

• For the past four years Corbin Independent
  Schools has administered the MAP (Measures of
  Academic Progress) twice a year. This test is
  given in August and March in Reading and Math. We
  also screen incoming students who enroll during
  the school year.

7
Universal Screening and Progress Monitoring

• Scholastic Reading Inventory is administered 4
  times per year. Those who are below grade level
  take this test monthly to monitor their progress.

8
Plan of Action

• Administer the MAP test
• Target the bottom 20 of the population
• Administer the Scholastic 3 minute assessment to
  these students to determine the area of
  difficulty in reading The students will begin
  receiving Tier II intervention
• Place in supplemental Reading Groups with a
  teacher
• Progress monitor bi-weekly or more often for
  those who need it.

9
Research Based Interventions

• Students who are two grade levels behind in
  reading are placed in Small Reading Groups in
  classes of no more than 5 students
• We use the SRA Reading Laboratories in these
  classes
• Instruction is with a certified teacher for 40
  minutes daily

10
Progress Monitoring

• We progress monitor using the Scholastic Reading
  Inventory monthly to determine reading Lexile
  levels
• We administer the Scholastic 3 minute assessment
  bi-weekly which targets word recognition,
  fluency, and comprehension

11
Challenges

• The scheduling of staff next year means we will
  lose 3 teachers in the afternoon who presently
  work with small reading groups
• Students who come in during the year from county
  schools are often behind in reading. These
  students must be worked into our groups

12
Future Plans

• Implement the Reading Mastery program which we
  purchased with ISSP grant funds
• Analyze Spring Map scores from this year to get a
  head start for next year
• Determine how we can use the classroom teachers
  better in the processsome schedules can be
  tightened up to allow extra reading group
  instruction
• Teachers of reading groups will meet more often
  to allow more conversation about what we can do
  to help our students who struggle
