This book describes all of the important factors that cause some students to have low reading achievement and others to have high reading achievement. It concentrates on the main factors that influence how much a student gains in reading achievement during a year of school, or a calendar year. An attempt is made to answer the following questions: what can educators do to increase reading achievement, and what is beyond their influence? The author is directly concerned with achievement associated with normal or typical reading. The focus of the book is on things teachers can do during an entire school year that are likely to improve the reading level and reading rate of students, which in turn, will increase their reading achievement. This effort to specify the most important causes of high and low reading achievement represents an integration of two disciplines of scientific psychology--experimental psychology and psychometrics. A glossary at the end of the book contains definitions of terms and concepts. Helpful appendices explain rauding theory, the three laws of rauding theory, and the equations that can be used to predict the accuracy of reading comprehension, provide conversions among units of rauding rate, and list the numbered equations presented in the book.

In this volume prominent scholars, experts in their respective fields and highly skilled in the research they conduct, address educational and reading research from varied perspectives and address what it will take to close the achievement gap—with specific attention to reading. The achievement gap is redefined as a level at which all groups can compete economically in our society and have the literacy tools and habits needed for a good life. Bringing valuable theoretical frameworks and in-depth analytical approaches to interpretation of data, the contributors examine factors that contribute to student achievement inside the school but which are also heavily influenced by out-of-school factors—such as poverty and economics, ethnicity and culture, family and community stratifications, and approaches to measurement of achievement. These out-of-school factors present possibilities for new policies and practice. The overarching theme is that achievement gaps in reading are complex and that multiple perspectives are necessary to address the problem. The breadth and depth of perspectives and content in this volume and its conceptualization of the achievement gap are a significant contribution to the field.

"The strengths of this book are many. It translates theory into practice, showing how a solid theory can inform one′s teaching." Stevi Quate, Co-director of the Secondary Literacy Network University of Colorado at Denver "Very comprehensive! It contains everything a teacher needs to guide students in comprehension." Aileen Carew, Marin Reading Council President & Reading Specialist Bel Aire School, Tiburon, CA When students learn to read strategically, they read to learn! How do some students extract complex information from advanced reading materials while others struggle to find the meaning of even simple passages? What characteristics do strategic readers exhibit that others don′t possess? Unlocking the cognitive strategies of exceptional readers means finding ways to teach every student to read strategically, and help them be successfull in the classroom and beyond. This essential reading instruction teaching tool offers hard evidence to show how effective readers use specific strategies to extract and comprehend information. Seven Strategies of Highly Effective Readers melds scientific research with hands-on experience to offer a comprehensive look at reading instruction. Instructors will discover that they can use the seven strategies no matter what their teaching style, and students will discover how to read to learn. McEwan has developed easily reproducible tools geared toward helping teachers get the most out of their readers: Teacher Think-Alouds to facilitate modeling the seven strategies for your students Templates to speed planning time Activities to encourage use of the seven strategies Forms, posters, props, and prompts to assist both students and teachers While theories come and go, research has shown that using these seven strategies will prove successful in the classroom-and beyond.

The wealth of easy-to-use strategies and the authors′ warm and encouraging tone further enhance the easy integration of the valuable information provided. Key features include: Exploration of the seven core reading challenges—and corresponding strategies for success Tips for tailoring each strategy to distinct disciplines, from science and mathematics to English and social studies A "Strategies for Struggling Readers" section in each chapter that highlights ways to meet the needs of students with learning disabilities and other special needs Practical applications that implement and reinforce research findings, including the five common characteristics of successful readers Expressly designed for the secondary teacher, the down-to-earth approach and proven methods outlined can have a significant and far-reaching positive impact in any school, turning even average or below-average students into high-achieving, thoughtful readers.

This volume links theoretical and instructional approaches on how reading is motivated and assessed, and examines the interrelationship between reading motivation and achievement among boys and girls in culturally and geographically different settings. Much of the research on children’s reading has focused on cognitive processes; however, reading is an activity that also requires interest and motivation. These attitudes are generally defined as readers’ affect toward reading and their consequence is that children with more positive attitudes are more motivated to read. Taking into account the variability that exists within the notion of gender and age, this volume aims to examine and scrutinize previous research on the topic, as well as test theories on how the different dimensions of reading motivation vary with gender, in relation to cultural issues, motivational constructs, such as engagement and classroom climate, the role of emotions, interests and attitudes towards reading, among others. The book will be of interest to researchers, educators, graduate students, and other professionals working in the area of literacy, reading motivation, reading achievement and gender differences.

Teaching students specific literacy skills is important--but equally critical, and often overlooked, is giving them the time and opportunity to read actual texts. Bringing together leading scholars, this book focuses on how teachers can improve both the quality and quantity of reading experiences in K-12 classrooms. Essential topics include factors that make reading tasks more or less productive for different types of learners, ways to balance independent reading with whole-class and small-group instruction, how to choose appropriate texts, and the connections between reading engagement and proficiency. The relevant research literature is reviewed, and exemplary practices and programs are described.

Recent reform efforts have yielded positive results in improving reading achievement for the nation?s children in the primary grades, but many children are not moving beyond basic "decoding" skills even as they advance to the fourth grade and classes in history, mathematics and science. This is especially troubling since adolescents are facing a post-secondary job market that demands high levels of literacy skills.In an effort to focus national attention on the problem of adolescent literacy, the Carnegie Corporation of New York launched a new initiative, Advancing Literacy: Reading to Learn. Carnegie?s objective is to advance adolescent literacy, which encompasses reading and writing in grades 4?12, by promoting policy, practice, and research in this field. As a first step, Carnegie asked the RAND Corporation to convene a small study group for one year to lay the foundation for the work of a larger Advisory Council and to undertake a study examining the state of adolescent literacy achievement in the nation. Our analysis focused on three research questions: 1. To what extent are adolescents (defined as students in the 4th through 12th grades) meeting state literacy goals, as measured by state assessments? 2. To what extent are adolescents meeting national literacy goals, as measured by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)? 3. To what extent are the results from state assessments and the NAEP consistent with one another?
