What is REWARDS?

A research-validated programTo teach intermediate and secondary students

a flexible strategy for decoding long words: Presence of affixes in about 80% of multisyllabic words Every decodable chunk must have a vowel grapheme Close approximation Actual pronunciation language

oral/aural language context

To increase their oral and silent reading fluency.

Who is it designed for?

Students who:

Are in 4th through 12th grades.

Have mastered skills associated with 1st and 2nd grade.

Have difficulty reading long words. This program is appropriate for struggling students reading between the 2.5 and 5.0 grade

and/or

Have poor Fluency. This program is appropriate for students who read grade level materials slowly (60-120 words per minutes)

Page 5: Rewards Overview

5

After Participating in REWARDS Students Will…

Decode previously unknown multisyllabic words containing two to eight word partsAccurately read more multisyllabic words within sentencesAccurately read more multisyllabic words found in content texts and class materialsHave an expanded vocabularyRead narrative and expository text accurately and fluentlyExperience increased comprehension as accuracy, fluency and vocabulary increasesHave more confidence in their reading ability

Page 6: Rewards Overview

Why was REWARDS developed?

READING is the major predictor of academic success

Yet many of our intermediate and secondary students are poor readers, have trouble passing content-area classes and are not doing well on the state tests.

Page 7: Rewards Overview

7

Options for selecting students

Current reading level can be determined using a group or individually administered standardized reading test (informal reading inventories, Woodcock, PIAT, WIAT).

Fluency can be determined by selecting a passage from a grade-level expository textbook. Have the student orally reading for a minute. If the student reads 60-120 correct words, he/she can profit from REWARDS.

Why might you want to use REWARDS?

Word recognition is a necessary, though not sufficient, skill to allow comprehension.

Simulation

As you participate in the following activity, reflect on the contributions word recognition makes to reading comprehension.You will be working with partners. Count off 1-2.1s will be the Readers and 2s will be the Test AdministratorsTake out your Training Manual – “Ones” the Readers titled Simulation: Reader. “Twos” turn the page to Simulation Test Administrator. Ones and twos follow the directions on your page exactly as written.

Why might you want to use REWARDS?

word recognition skills are the most pervasive and debilitating source of reading challenges

The ability to decode long words is the major difference between good and poor readers. Poor decoders, even those who can decode single syllable words, have a difficult time with multisyllabic words. (Just & Carpenter, 1987)

Low decoders Pronounce fewer affixes and vowel sounds

correctly Disregard large portions of letter information Two to four times as likely to omit syllable

Page 15: Rewards Overview

15

Why might you want to use REWARDS?

Many new words in intermediate and secondary materials From fifth grade on, average students encounter

approximately 10,000 words that they have never previously encountered in print. (Nagy & Anderson, 1984)

Most of these new words are longer words having two or more syllable.The longer words are often content words that carry the meaning of the passage.

Page 16: Rewards Overview

16

Why might you want to use REWARDS?Decoding instruction often ends in second grade. Unfortunately, the number of multisyllabic

words begins to dramatically increase in third grade.

Students need a flexible strategy for pronouncing long words. No relationship exists between knowledge of

syllabication rules and successful reading. (Canney & Schreiner, 1997)

Page 17: Rewards Overview

17

Why might you want to use REWARDS?

Teaching HelpsOther Research Fourth and sixth graders having difficulty reading

longer words had significant gains when taught to use affixes and vowels to pronounce long words. (Shefelbine, 1990)

Seventh, eighth, and ninth graders who were taught a decoding strategy for reading long words had fewer oral reading errors and increased reading comprehension (Lenz & Hughes, 1990)

Page 18: Rewards Overview

18

Why might you want to use REWARDS?

REWARDS Research Reading deficient fourth and fifth graders who

were taught the REWARDS strategies made significant gains over students receiving monosyllabic word instruction. (Archer, Gleason, Vachon, & Hollenbeck, 2000)

Significant increases in word reading accuracy and fluency were observed in sixth, seventh, and eighth graders using REWARDS program. (Vachon & Gleason, 2000)

Passage Reading Activity I: Passage Reading

“Growth of SlaveryTidewater planters needed many workers to make their land

9 profitable. At firs, they tried to make Indians work the land. Or21 they brought indentured servants from England. By the late 30 1600s however, planters were buying large numbers of African 39 slaves. Although people in other colonies owned some slaves, most 49 slaves live in the South. (#1)54 Why did southern planters turn to African slave labor: The 64 English saw how slave labor earned profits for the Spanish 74 colonists. Planters believed that Africans were used to warm 83 climates. Then, too, it was hard for blacks to escape

Fluency Building-Repeated Readings

Why is reading fluency important?– Fluency is related to reading comprehension.(Cunningham & Stanovich, 1998; Fuchs, Fuchs, & Maxwell,

1988; Jenkins, Fuchs, Espin, vanden Broek, & Deno, 2000)– When students read fluently, decoding requires less attention.

Attention can be given to comprehension. (Samuels, Schermer, & Reinking, 1992)

– Accurate and fluent readers will read more. (Cunningham & Stanovich, 1998; Stanovich, 1993)

– Fluent readers complete assignments with more ease.– Fluent readers perform better on tests involving reading.
