Developmental Reading in the High School Curriculum

This project aims to address the significant weakness in reading and reading comprehension at Bosse High School, where over half of the freshmen (52.5%) were found to be at least three grade levels below in reading according to NWEA scores. The initiative focuses on developing reading skills through daily classes using the Pearson AMP Reading program and various instructional strategies. The ultimate goal is to elevate students to grade level within the academic year, leading to improved overall performance and a greater enjoyment of reading.

  1. Developmental Reading in the High School Curriculum July 2010

  2. Project Purposes • Bosse High School has identified reading/reading comprehension as a school-wide weakness • 52.5% of freshmen in 2009-2010 school year were at least 3 grade levels below in reading according to NWEA scores. Bosse teachers want a reading class to try to improve students reading skills.

  3. Objectives • The ultimate goal would be to get students back to grade level within the year. • We believe developing better reading skills will help students be more successful in high school and beyond.

  4. Project Design • Students identified through middle school English teachers using Acuity/ISTEP. • Class will meet daily for 50 minutes all year. • Pearson AMP Reading program • Neuroimpress Method • pre-reading strategies • graphic organizers • after reading strategies, questioning • Will compare 2009-2010 data to 2010-2011 data (NWEA, ECA)

  5. Desired Outcomes • Students will improve reading skills. • Students will perform better on ECA. • Students will enjoy reading more. • Students will be more successful in high school classes.

  6. Evidence/Data • NWEA scores fall, winter, spring • ECA scores (sophomore year) • Grades • Attitudes toward reading (pre-post class) Control group will be 2009-2010 freshmen (all, special education)

  7. Knowledge Gained • Bosse teachers have agreed to document and share the experience and findings. • If Bosse is successful in raising student reading levels and reading skills, other schools may try a similar approach.

  8. Classroom Evidence • Fluency Testing 5.3  7.9 • Amp tests 56% 74% • Final Exam 72%  78%
