Today’s Focus• How can I assess the reading levels of 100+
students in the first week of class? Which students will need help with the textbook and other printed materials used in my course?
![Page 3: Learning Diversity in Grades 5-12](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56816125550346895dd07f55/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Notecard Reflections• Examine the data from an 11th Grade
Rochester classroom to support struggling readers.
• What thoughts run through your mind as you consider the data evaluated in class?
• Out of 15 students, how many do you suspect will be able to manage the textbook with minimal assistance?
• Did you expect these results? Are you surprised? What ideas do you have to support a classroom filled with developmentally diverse readers?

Beautiful Words
We are completely in agreement with him on this point: That symbolization is constitutive of symbolic consequences will trouble no one who believes in the absolute value of the Cartesian cognito. But it must be understood if symbolization is constitutive of consciousness, it is permissible to perceive that there is an immanent bond of comprehension between the symbolization and the symbol (Sartre, 1948, p. 65)

Textbook Analysis - Readability
• Flesch-Kincaid Readability is determined by typing 3 100ish word passages into Microsoft Word (Flesch-Kincaid formula).– Turn on readability under “Tools” menu, then run
spellchecker.
What reading level does a student need to comprehend this text?

The Textbook Characteristics

Textbook Analysis
• Accommodating for Special NeedsWhat accommodations are available? (Books on tape, etc.)
• Alignment with Standards
• Access Online• Student Feedback - What do THEY think?
I seriously recommend gathering a variety of students to provide feedback in the process of selecting any new textbooks.
![Page 10: Learning Diversity in Grades 5-12](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56816125550346895dd07f55/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Textbook Analysis - Everything Else
• Check out the “Criteria Chart!”• Concept density
How many new terms are introduced in a section?
At what level of abstraction?• Text framework
How is the information presented? (White space, graphics, titles, subtitles, highlighting, etc.)
• Personalization of writing Human faces, use of “you” or “your”, people like
themselves, inspiring graphics…

Group Administered Diagnostic Tests
• Content-Based Assessment (Use CBA format with your textbook.)
• Cloze Test
![Page 13: Learning Diversity in Grades 5-12](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051219/56816125550346895dd07f55/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
(Content Based Assessment)CBA
• Choose a 200-250ish word passage from your current textbook.
• Every student reads silently while you note 15-second increments on the board.
• Student notes finish time, picks up comprehension questions. (Create five.) (vocabulary, facts, inferential)
Information:– Comprehension below 80%= text too difficult– Slow reader= need to reread to comprehendhttp://www.interventioncentral.com/htmdocs/tools/okapi/okapi.php
CBA Creation SupportThis link may be found in the external links section of blackboard

Cloze Test• Select 300-word passage (approximately)• Leave first and last sentence intact• Delete every 5th word
– replace with 12 spaces– 50 total deletions
• Allow unlimited time, misspellings o.k.• Count only exact word replacement

– Create 5 look-it-up questions using the textbook.
– Questions should involve interpretation of graphics, use of glossary, index, table of contents…)
Textbook Navigation Challenge!Do students know how to
use your textbook?

Assess Study Strategies
• Pre-reading overview• Self-questioning while reading• Attention monitoring• Rehearsal, summarizing• Note-taking• Test review strategies• Organization

Due: Differentiation Plan Part A ( I am not requiring you to create a cloze test.)
Photocopy a textbook chapter of your choice that you would like to work with in-depth over the next few class sessions. Bring the photocopy with you to class.
Download the MN Standards for your content area in Microsoft Word. Isolate the standards that specifically relate to your chapter. Bring these standards to class

Color Coded Text• Code
YELLOW--Important terms, people, dates and the explanations of those items
BLUE--Main ideas (Must-know information) PINK--Important details
• Rule of thumb: No more than 30% of text should be highlighted

Types of Text Patterns (Frames)
Cause/EffectConcept/DefinitionGoal/Action/OutcomeProblem/SolutionProposition/SupportCompare/Contrast
Buehl Chapter 3Video: Alanna Text Structure I

Text Pattern Clues
• Cause/Effect–“if…then, as a result,
therefore, because” • Concept/Definition
–characteristics, features, examples–“for example”
• Goal/Action/Outcome–numerical or
chronological order–“1st, 2nd, next, then,
finally”
• Problem/Solution–“problem is, dilemma
is”–Variation—question-
and-answer• Proposition/Support
–“In the opinion of…”–Citing of evidence
• Compare/Contrast–“in contrast, same as,
on the other hand

Test-Writing Techniques• Reduce readability
15 word, 19 syllables = 6th grade readability
• Matching exercisesBlocks of 5-12 stimuli

More Test-Writing Techniques
• Multiple choice• Use a question for the item stem
• Fill-in-the-blank • Delete words near the end of the
sentence
• Options for pictures & words• (Explain & draw a picture to • represent current understanding.)
