Digging Deeper with Screening Data:
Creating Intervention GroupsSeaside School District
March 17, 2010
Adapted from a presentation by
ObjectivesObjectives
• Use screening data to better identify students instructional needs.
• Develop understanding of strategies to use for developing students reading skills– Accuracy– Fluency
• Practice identifying your own students instructional needs.
Instructional “Focus” Instructional “Focus” ContinuumContinuum
Accurate at Skill

Able to Apply Skill
IF no, teach skill.If yes, move to fluency
If no, teach fluency/automaticityIf yes, move to application
If no, teach applicationIf yes, the move to higher level skill/concept
Using existing Screening Using existing Screening Data:Data:
Going Beyond the Going Beyond the Numbers…Numbers…Benchmarks are set by a “number”
1st Grade = 40wpmc 2nd Grade = 90wpmc3rd Grade = 110wpm
Instructionally - Need to pay attention to the behaviors around the “numbers” Accuracy RateError PatternsPhrasing or NotQuality of the Reading
MUST hear students read to get an understanding of the reading “Behaviors”!
Digging Deeper ProcessDigging Deeper Process
• Step 1: Determine accuracy and fluency rates
• Step 2: Group students according to their accuracy and fluency needs.
• Step 3: Further determine specific instructional needs for the students
Step 1: Determine Accuracy Step 1: Determine Accuracy and Fluency Ratesand Fluency Rates
• Is the student accurate?– Must define accuracy expectation
• Consensus in reading research is 95% for ORF• No consensus for lower level skills (phonemic
awareness, phonics)
• Is the student fluent? – Must define fluency expectation
• Fluency Measuring Tools:– Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM)– AIMSWeb (grades 1 - 8)– Fuch’s reading probes (grades 1 - 7)– DIBELS (grades K - 6)
Step 2: Group students Step 2: Group students according to their accuracy and according to their accuracy and
fluency needs.fluency needs.

Regardless of the skill focus, organizing student data by looking at accuracy and fluency will assist teachers in making an appropriate instructional match!

ACTIVITY:•Based on criteria for the grade level, place each student’s name into the appropriate box.•Organizing data based on performance(s) assists in grouping students for instructional purposes.•Students who do not perform well on comprehension tests, have a variety of instructional needs.

Group 1: Dig Deeper in the areas of reading comprehension, includingvocabulary and specific comprehension strategies.Assessment/Instruction: Examine students core program assessments.•Are they doing well?
• Focus on grade level skills and strategies
•Are they not passing? • Focus on comprehension
strategies
Group 2: Accurate and Not Group 2: Accurate and Not FluentFluent
Group 2: Build reading fluency skills. (Repeated Reading, Paired Reading, etc.) Embed comprehension checks/strategies.
Assessment: Do you need additional data? •Do you need to validate their accuracy?•Does the student read grade level textaccurately?
Consider other information• Quick Phonics Screener• In-Program assessments• Error Analysis• Other classroom data

What do we know about Group 4 students?
• Read with adequate (sometimes too fast) rate, but made too many errors. May have comprehension concerns.
Group 4 kids may sound a bit Group 4 kids may sound a bit like this…like this…
Group 4: Inaccurate but High Group 4: Inaccurate but High raterate
Group 4: Does the student have the SKILLS necessary to read grade level material accurately?
Assessment: Determine if student can self-correct errors easily
If reader can self-correct errors, teach student to self-monitor reading accuracy.
If reader cannot self-correct errors, complete an error analysis to determine instructional need

Further investigate inaccuracy• Assisted Self-Monitoring
(Pep Talk Test)
– Criterion is for accuracy to increase by 50% or to criterion of 95%
• Assisted Monitoring (Table Tap Method)
– Immediate correction equals no further investigation in decoding
– Unable to correct, do error analysis

ActivityActivity
1. Use your data to place students into the 4 boxes (or 3 columns).
2. Discuss if additional data are needed to determine instructional needs within boxes
3. Use your Standard Reading Protocol to determine what intervention(s) you have that meet the needs within the boxes.
