Core Reading Programs (CRPs)

Core Reading Programs (CRPs)

Also known in past decades as “basil readers”, _________ ________ _________ are commercial reading instruction programs commonly used in North American school districts. According to Dewitz and colleagues (2010), CRPs are made up of a collection of student reading selections, skill, activities, teachers’ manuals, and supplemental reading instruction materials applied in elementary middle school classrooms, according to a basic structure: “Stories are introduced, knowledge and vocabulary developed, stories are discussed, and students responses to texture made. Skills are taught, sometimes before the story, sometimes afterward” (p. 33).

Key Studies

Found on the ESSA Evidence website are links to information about reading programs listed on the What Works Clearinghouse website. The __________ link leads to an unpublished research report as the primary or key evidence supporting the LLI program’s effectiveness. Studies that are unpublished, may or may not be high-quality. Generally speaking, however, published studies are to be preferred over unpublished studies because they have gone through rigorous evaluation in the “blind peer review” process.

Reading Recovery (RR)

Developed by clinical child psychologist Marie Clay, _______ _______ is a short term early intervention program designed to reduce reading failures for the lowest performing 20% of first grade students. ____ is available for both native speakers of English as well as English learners. The aim of the program is to help low-achieving children catch up to level related peers. What Works Clearinghouse has concluded that there is good evidence of the effectiveness of RR as an intervention for struggling for grade readers.

Decodable Readers
