1 Aligns to Title I, Part A The purpose of Title I, Part A Improving Basic Programs is to ensure that children in high-poverty schools meet challenging State academic content and student achievement standards. These schools must develop a comprehensive plan to improve teaching and learning. The following chart shows how Tim Rasinski Presents Fabulously Famous can support a schoolwide Title I program. The criteria are drawn from the December 2, 2002 Title I Final Rules and Regulations, posted at this site: 1.

Implements research-based strategies designed by a nationally recognized literacy expert. Three Fabulously Famous Books For Building Fluency libraries are available A for Grades K-2, B for Grades 3-5, and C for Grades 6-8. Each level includes: 64 Books 32 authentic trade titles, 2 copies each Professional Guide providing information on how to use the program to develop effective fluency instruction using authentic children s literature for oral and repeated reading May

2 Provide opportunities for all students to meet the State s proficient and advanced levels of student academic achievement, Continued (continued) 3-Minute Reading Assessments by Dr. Timothy Rasinski and Dr. Nancy Padak, a professional book that provides ready-to-use assessments to screen students for reading problems, gather students baseline data, and track their progress throughout the school year Daily Word Ladders by Dr. Timothy Rasinski, which are engaging and reproducible word-building games that effectively teach spelling, word recognition, and vocabulary Teacher Resources CD-ROM that supplies: o Lessons, 2-pages for every title o Blackline masters, including a parent letter, response forms, logs, and other activity sheets o Research Paper, Guided Fluency Instruction: Moving Students to Independence by Dr. Timothy Rasinski, which addresses the research base of effective fluency instruction Fabulously Famous Books For Building Fluency can be used in literature-based or basal classrooms with wholeclass instruction, small-group sessions, or independent reading. 2. Address the needs of all students in the school, particularly the needs of low-achieving students and those at risk of not meeting the State s student academic standards Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency addresses the needs of all students, including low-achieving students and those at risk of not meeting the State s student academic standards, by providing a range of reading levels and a variety of support and strategies. Each of the three Fabulously Famous libraries includes a range of reading levels to meet the needs of all students. With a focus on developing fluency, the instructional design outlined in the Professional Guide encourages teachers to support all students throughout the learning process with teacher modeling, guidance, and assistance. Through a gradual release model, responsibility is slowly shifted almost entirely to the student. The Professional Guide also provides many techniques for helping students build their fluency, including: Choral Reading Paired Reading Buddy Reading Recorded Reading Radio Reading Mumble Reading Say It Like the Character (continued) May

3 Address the needs of all students in the school, Continued Repeated Reading Center Cooperative Repeated Reading Reader s Theater Poetry Performances Phrasing The program can be flexibly implemented with more or longer instructional or practice sessions being provided as needed to support low-achieving or at-risk students. 3. Close the achievement gap between high- and low-performing children, especially the achievement gaps between minority and nonminority students, and between disadvantaged children and their more advantaged peers. Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency can help close the reading achievement gap between high-performing children and low-performing, minority, and disadvantaged children through a variety of strategies including: Providing disadvantaged students, who often do not have books in their home, access to a print-rich environment and high-quality books in a wide range of topics and genres Motivating low-performing students to read through a variety of strategies that help them overcome difficulties with fluency, which could be an underlining cause of their reading difficulties Offering minority students culturally diverse titles and topics so they can see themselves in the books they read Providing activities that directly involve and engage students in their own learning, such as reader s theater, small-group brainstorming sessions for oral presentations, and Repeated Reading Log to record their achievements 4. Use effective methods and instructional practices that are based on scientifically based research and that: Strengthen the core academic program Provide an enriched and accelerated curriculum Increase the amount and quality of learning time, such as providing an extended school year, before- and after-school programs, and summer programs and Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency can strengthen the core academic program, enrich the curriculum, and increase the quality and amount of time spent reading. Research Base This program was developed by Dr. Timothy Rasinski, one of the nation s leading authorities on reading fluency. From his extensive research, he has developed this and other fluency programs that offer practical strategies to help developing and struggling readers build vocabulary, decoding, and fluency skills to raise their reading achievement. (continued) May

4 opportunities Use effective methods and instructional practices that are based on scientifically based research, Continued As part of Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency, Dr. Rasinski shares his research in the Professional Guide and in Guided Fluency Instruction: Moving Students to Independence. This paper presents research that supports the use of modeling, assisted practice, and independent practice to build fluency. The program is also supported by research that shows the importance of integrating authentic trade books into the classroom including: Appropriate instruction in reading fluency leads to significant gains in reading. (Kuhn & Stahl, 2000) A common feature of effective reading programs is student access to a wide variety of appealing trade books and other reading materials. (Cullinan, 2000) Fluency develops as a result of many opportunities to practice reading with a high degree of success. (Armbruster, Lehr, & Osborn, 2001) Literally hundreds of correlational studies find that the best readers read the most and that poor readers read the least. These correlational studies suggest that the more children read, the better their fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. (National Reading Panel, 2000) Good reading programs always provide access to good literature and encourage children to read as much as possible material with which they are comfortable. (Foorman, Fletcher, & Francis, 2002) Students who are exposed to real texts books and stories rather than short passages in basal readers and who respond to what they read perform better on standardized tests of reading achievement. (Wenglinsky, 2003) For more research findings that support the strategies used in Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency, Scholastic Classroom Books Compendium of Research is available upon request. Strengthen the core academic program Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency breaks the boundaries of tradition fluency instruction with performance activities that make guided, repeated oral reading practice fun. These proven strategies keep students engaged and excited as they become fluent readers. With improved fluency, students will use their cognitive resources for the task of comprehension. May

5 Use effective methods and instructional practices that are based on scientifically based research, Continued The following are the strategic reading skills this program helps students develop: Fluency The Professional Guide provides a variety of strategies for teachers to use to help students develop their fluency. (See Scholastic s response to criterion 2 for a detailed list.) In each lesson, the During Reading section directs teachers to model the fluency skills and engage students in discussion about the skills. Then the students participate in choral reading of the passage. Additional activities are suggested in the lesson to provide fluency practice for the whole class or struggling students. May Comprehension Although building accuracy, automaticity, and expression is the key to this program, the lessons include discussion and retelling activities to help ensure that students understand what they are reading. The Professional Guide, blackline masters, and 3-Minute Reading Assessments provide quick ways to work on and monitor comprehension. The Teacher Resources CD-ROM provides a reproducible Story Map graphic organizer to help students analyze and better understand story structure. Vocabulary Each title-related lesson highlights a passage from the book that focuses on the featured vocabulary words (Tier 2, related, or high-frequency) important to understanding the passage and key for word study. Teachers provide direct instruction of the words using student-friendly definitions and by pronouncing the words several times. Students gain additional meaning from reading the words in context. Activities from Daily Word Ladders also help students build vocabulary. Writing Each lesson provides in-class writing activities in preparation for a fluency performance. Fun and engaging opportunities invite and challenge students to present their written materials to the class using various oral presentation forms. Provide an enriched and accelerated curriculum Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency contains carefully selected books ideal for teaching fluency, which is essential for increasing reading achievement. The program can enrich and accelerate learning across the entire curriculum, because fluency skills can be used to read materials in every subject area. In addition, students read authentic literature in a variety of genres that can connect to curriculum areas outside of the reading class. Increase the amount and quality of learning time, such as providing an extended school year, before- and afterschool programs, and summer program opportunities

6 Use effective methods and instructional practices that are based on scientifically based research, Continued Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency can be flexibly implemented as a complement to the core curriculum, as a stand-alone supplemental curriculum, and as a motivational independent reading program. In addition to being used during the regular school day, the program is highly appropriate for before- and after-school programs and in summer programs to teach and reinforce fluency skills. Students will enjoy and learn from the engaging books and activities. 5. Provide high-quality and ongoing professional development that aligns with the State s academic standards Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency includes comprehensive teaching materials that contain instructional strategies and tools suitable for both new and experienced teachers. Resources include: Professional Guide, which includes extensive information and teaching techniques on using authentic literature for effective fluency instruction Research Paper, Guided Fluency Instruction: Moving Students to Independence by Dr. Timothy Rasinski, which addresses the research base of effective fluency instruction 3-Minute Reading Assessments by Dr. Timothy Rasinski and Dr. Nancy Padak, a professional book that provides ready-to-use assessments to screen students for reading problems Daily Word Ladders by Dr. Timothy Rasinski, a professional book that offers engaging and reproducible word-building games Teacher Resources CD-Rom that supplies: o Lessons, 2-pages for every title, featuring a passage from the text and instructions on using the passage to teach vocabulary and model fluent reading as well as ideas for repeated reading practice in the classroom and for writing and oral performance activities o Blackline masters, including a parent letter, response forms, logs, and other activity sheets 6. Involve parents in the planning, review, and improvement of the schoolwide program plan Dr. Rasinski emphasizes the importance of home involvement in the Professional Guide for Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency. He explains that the easiest ways for parents to help their children become better readers is to read to them, read with them, and listen to their children read aloud. He also outlines his Fast Start Reading Program in the Program Guide and provides a home letter explaining how parents can build their child s reading skills with just 15 minutes of reading a day. May

7 7. If appropriate, coordinate with other funding programs Fabulously Famous Books for Building Fluency can be effectively integrated with school activities that are being funded by other federal, state, or local sources. The federal programs for which this Scholastic product qualifies beyond Title I include, but are not limited to: Title I Supplemental Educational Programs Title V, Part A Innovative Programs 21 st Century Community Learning Centers GEAR UP (grade-level 6-8 Libraries) Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) May
