Foundations of Reading Test for Wisconsin

This resource integrates responsive literacy practices with reading test practice, resulting in a one of a kind study guide that supports readers on a quest to (re)discover best literacy practices for all children. Based on visual literacy research, the text highlights a cast of whimsical characters within a cultivating (i.e., farming and gardening) narrative. Visual literacy supports children (and adults) as they read and comprehend a wide variety of text. Seriously, a village of writers (19 contributors!) generously shared their expertise in 14 chapters! Contributors include Wisconsin Reading Professors, Reading Specialists, Reading Teachers, an ELL Teacher, Preservice Teachers and Student Teachers. While the village wrote, preservice and practicing teachers (those that completed the FoRT) read the chapters, dropping their voices within the context of the writer's narrative.

These teaching techniques show how to foster active, strategic reading by implementing the five components of reading instruction identified in the 2000 National Reading Panel report - phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

In this new fourth edition, the authors explain the popular SIOP®(Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) Model and provide lesson plans and instructional activities to help teachers implement it in K-12 classrooms.

A self-paced, self-instruction program designed to help teachers independently develop a comprehensive background in phonics, syllable and accent patterns, onset-rime, the morphemes that contribute to word meaning, and phonological and phonemic awareness. Throughout the book, readers see how to connect the information they're studying with grade-specific learning expectations described in the Foundational Skills strand of the Common Core State Standards.

A resource for pre-service and in-service teachers to get practical instruction that helps them develop a sound understanding of both the content and pedagogy of phonics.

This self-paced tutorial gives pre-service teachers practical information about phonemic awareness, phonics, and word analysis, and provides in-service teachers with a helpful approach to updating their knowledge, preparing for teacher certification, or studying for competency tests.

Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency describes appropriate expectations for comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary development. The authors will give you a firm understanding of your students' reading levels: where they are, where they should be, and what they need to do to get there.

Literacy experts Linda J. Dorn and Carla Soffos guide teachers and administrators in implementing effective reading interventions for children in kindergarten through third grade. Based on the authors' Comprehensive Intervention Model (CIM), the authors present a portfolio of small group interventions for meeting the diverse needs of struggling readers.
