Our
tutoring program is modeled on the
effective approach jointly developed by
Rolling Readers USA and the
Poway Unified School District in San Diego County |
Here is more information taken from our Reading Research
Report,
“What Strategies Do ‘Best Practice' Schools
Use to Meet Their ‘Reading’ Annual Yearly Progress
Goals?" |
San Diego County Schools
How did San Diego County schools raise
reading ability 62.5% of a full Grade Level tutoring each
child just 15 minutes each day?
Each 15-minute session
followed the Rolling Readers USA structured ‘reading
strategy’ tutoring program.
Median book level increase at the end of 81-120
sessions during the school year was 2.5. Each grade
had 4 book levels. Increased ability: 62.5% of a full
grade level.
The 1998 study looked at a random sample of 673 students.
Book levels were determined by Scholastic, Inc. Rolling
Readers USA recruited and trained the volunteers. The
schools provided the coordination of the volunteers.
The Rolling Readers USA (a non-profit literacy organization)
tutoring program was jointly developed with the Poway
Unified School District in San Diego County.
The program is based on research about what good readers
do as they are learning to read, and as they are reading.
Good readers integrate 3 cueing systems while reading.
Meaning-Structure-Phonics. Does it make sense? Does it
sound right? Does it look right?
The tutoring program makes these cueing systems an integral
part of a structured 5-step tutoring format. Prepare-Pause-Prompt-Probe-Praise.
Since 1998, San Diego County calls the program ‘Everyone
A Reader’. It is used in their 23 school districts
and 165 elementary schools.
Today, Rolling Readers - Cape Girardeau Area
continues this effective
tutoring concept as a part of our ‘Reading
Strategy Tutoring Program’.
We have added an extra minute of practice (now 16
minutes)
because we want to give 110%!
