Introduction

Introduction

The S.P.I.R.E.® Blackline Masters for Instruction and Assessment are provided in both a spiral-bound book and a CD-ROM . The CD-ROM also supplies an answer key for select pages, but otherwise the content is the same . You may use whichever format is most convenient for you . All Blackline Masters (BLMs) are cited at point-of-use in the Teacher’s Guide .

The BLMs are organized in two sections: Instruction and Assessment . The Instruction BLMs are essential to the lessons in the Teacher’s Guide; without them, the lessons do not adhere to the fidelity of S .P .I .R .E .’s instructional plan . The Assessment BLMs provide ongoing formative assessment, a final cumulative test for the level, and summary forms for recording and reporting .

INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD ACTIVITIES

Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) are becoming more available to a greater number of classrooms, and IWB activities can provide engagement and a large interactive format for instructional modeling and practice . While any material on the S.P.I.R.E.® Blackline Masters CD-ROM can be used on an IWB, we particularly recommend activities using the Phoneme Segmentation Sheet, the Phoneme-Grapheme Sheet, the Word Find Sheet in the Introductory Lessons, and the graphic organizers in the Reinforcing Lessons . These would work especially well in settings with large groups .

vi S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction


Blackline Masters for Instruction

LESSON PLANNERSThese blank planners are available for both types of lessons: Introductory and Reinforcing . The Planners supplement the Teacher’s Guide Steps Overview pages and allow teachers to create their own lessons for each concept .

KEY WORD CONCEPT SHEETSThese sheets introduce each new concept to students . Used in Step 1 of every Introductory Lesson, these large illustrations can be held up for the lesson and then displayed as a reminder of the concept .

PHONEME SEGMENTATION SHEETStudents will use this sheet, as well as white and green circle-shaped markers, for phonemic awareness activities in Step 2 . The circles are used to represent phonemes: white for consonant sounds and green for vowel sounds . Students may also use blue syllable rectangles as they segment sounds in each syllable of a word . You may wish to model these activities using the identical large magnetic Phoneme Segmentation Sheet and circles, available as a S .P .I .R .E . ancillary .

PHONEME-GRAPHEME SHEETUsed for word building activities in Step 3, these sheets are distributed to students along with white and green circle-shaped markers . Students use the circles to represent phonemes, and then write the word .

DECODABLE 1 WORD CARDSThese cards match the green ones in the Word Cards pack and should be printed on green card stock . They give students the opportunity for individual daily practice with and reinforcement of fully decodable, “go-right-ahead-and-read-them” words .

S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction vii

Introduction

SMALL LETTERSCopy the Small Letters onto the appropriate colored paper or card stock (consonants on white, vowels on green, welded sounds on yellow, suffixes on blue, prefixes on purple) and then cut them out . Magnetic tape can be applied to the letters so they can be used on a metal surface . Students use the Small Letters for word-building activities in Step 3 . Alternately, students may use a Magnet Board and Letters or the Small Letter Cards (preprinted on appropriately-colored card stock) both of which are available as S .P .I .R .E . ancillaries .

WORD FIND SHEETSThe Word Find Sheets are used in Step 6 of the Introductory Lessons . Students read and circle all of the new concept words they can find on a Word Sheet, mark them in green, and then read them aloud .

DICTATION PAPER At Level 7, there are three different types of Dictation Paper for use in Steps 7, 9, and 10, allowing for differentiation of student and lesson characteristics:

1. Full Lesson Sounds and Words Dictation Paper allows for ten sounds and ten words, the usual number dictated in lessons .

2. Full Lesson Sentence Dictation Paper has ten lines for ten sentences .

3. Short Lesson Dictation Paper allows for five sounds, five words, and two sentences on one sheet of paper and can be used for Reinforcing Lessons, lessons less than 60 minutes long, and lessons for students whose writing is particularly labored .

GRAPHIC ORGANIZERSThese blank graphic organizers should be used in Step 6 of the Reinforcing Lessons to enhance comprehension of the reading passages . Annotated versions of the organizers are found in Step 6 of the Teacher’s Guide under Comprehension Activities .

viii S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction


CONCEPT MASTERY FLUENCY DRILLSRecommended as part of Step 4, the Concept Mastery Fluency Drills reinforce new concepts and develop automaticity with decodable words in order to build fluency in reading . The drills can be used instructionally with students needing more reading practice with certain concepts .

On the BLMs, a concept is underlined on the first three lines to cue the student . Beginning with the fourth line, the underlining is dropped .

There are many ways in which the drills can be used for reading practice:

• Students can read to an instructional aide .

• Students can read to each other in pairs .

• Students can read to a parent or sibling at home .

• The drills can be done as a choral reading .

• Display a copy of the drill using an overhead projector or other technology . Point to the words and read orally in unison with students .

S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction ix

Introduction

Blackline Masters for Assessment

CONCEPT MASTERY FLUENCY DRILLSThese drills, described on the previous page in their instructional role, can also be used as an assessment of automaticity .

AdministrationWhen used for assessment, the drills should be conducted only once per sitting, as a second immediate reading would not be an indication of true automaticity but rather of short-term memory .

First reading: Make two copies of the Fluency Drill . Keep one to use as a recording form, and place one in front of the student .

Review the first three lines with the student, then begin a one-minute timed drill starting with the fourth line .

Have the student read words from left to right . Do not stop the student, even if an error is made .

Indicate errors above any misread words on the recording form . Write SO above words that were sounded out and SC above words that the student self corrects . Sounded-out and self-corrected words are counted as correct .

Subsequent readings: Have the student begin reading with the first line and read for one minute .

Scoring and ReportingFirst reading: Subtract the number of errors from the total number of words read; this provides a baseline for comparison with subsequent readings . Help the student record this information on the Progress Report . Have the student write the date at the top of the first column and draw a line indicating the number of words read correctly . If desired, the student can write the number of words read correctly in the column and/or color the column .

Subsequent readings: Each drill is repeated and charted on the Progress Report three to five times . One Progress Report can be used to record the initial and subsequent readings .

x S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction


DECODING ASSESSMENTSThe Decoding Assessments are individual oral reading tests used to demonstrate specific concept acquisition and to inform diagnostic teaching . Two Assessments (Forms A and B) are provided for each concept . They can be used to:

• clarify results from the Initial Placement Assessment .

• determine which words or word patterns need further instruction .

• determine when students are ready to progress to the next concept .

Marked student copies should be dated and filed in the student’s daily work binder when completed .

AdministrationEach Decoding Assessment can be used as a pretest (before teaching to see if students need instruction on a particular concept) or as a posttest (after a lesson to see if students are ready to move on to the next concept and to measure progress) . Administration is the same in both cases .

Make two copies of the Decoding Assessment . Keep one to use as a recording form, and place one in front of the student .

Single word reading: Have the student read words from left to right . Do not stop the student, even if an error is made .


If the student completes Single Word Reading with at least 50 percent accuracy, continue to Sentence/Phrase Reading .

Sentence reading: Administer in the same manner, marking mistakes, sounded-out, and self-corrected words on the recording form . Count only the words for the target concept . In the CD-ROM version, the answer key indicates which words contain target concepts .

Scoring and ReportingIf percentages are needed, count the number of misread target words in both Single Word Reading and Sentence Reading and subtract from the total number of target words . Sounded-out and self-corrected words should be counted as correct but noted for further remediation . (See “Sounded-out words” on the next page .) Divide the number of target words incorrect by the number of target words correct to get an accuracy percentage .

S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction xi

Introduction

Sounded-out words: If a student consistently sounds out words without automaticity, but reads correctly, incorporate additional automaticity practice . This can be done using Fluency Drills, Word Cards, or by rereading passages in the Reader and/or reading the Illustrated Decodable Readers .

Misread words: Misread words should be incorporated in subsequent S .P .I .R .E . lessons during Step 3 (Word Building), Step 9 (Spelling), and/or Step 10 (Sentence Dictation) . You may also want to write misread words on a sheet and have the student practice decoding them, using them orally in a sentence, or writing sentences with the words .

Disfluent reading: Students who read the phrases and sentences with a lack of expression will need additional practice to improve fluent and expressive reading . This can be done with story rereads .

Pretest results: Students demonstrating at least 80 percent accuracy can skip the tested concept and move on to the next concept . If 80 percent accuracy is not achieved, conduct the lessons for that concept, beginning with the Introductory Lesson .

Posttest results: Students demonstrating at least 80 percent accuracy can move on to the next concept . If 80 percent accuracy is not achieved, conduct any unused Reinforcing Lessons for that concept until 80 percent accuracy is attained . You may also use the Appendix in the Teacher’s Guide to create a new Reinforcing Lesson(s) until 80 percent accuracy is attained .

QUICK CHECKSFor use as informal formative assessment, there is one Quick Check per lesson . Quick Checks can be used at the end-of-class as a “ticket out the door .” Their purpose is to ensure the students understand the concept . The Quick Checks also provide data for progress monitoring/differentiating instruction and for evaluating instruction .

Each Quick Check consists of reading four target decodable words, two phrases, and two sentences . The phrases and sentences incorporate the target concept with other decodable words and sight words . There are four Quick Checks on a BLM page .

Administration of Quick ChecksFor each student assessed, make two copies of the Quick Checks, one for the student and one for you . Cut along the dotted lines and use the appropriate Quick Check for the lesson . Have the student read the words, phrases, and sentences while you record their responses .

xii S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction


Indicate errors above any misread words on the recording form . Write SO above words that were sounded out and SC above words that the student self-corrects . Correct answers include sounded-out and self-corrected words, and the entire phrase or sentence .

POST-LEVEL ASSESSMENT The Post-Level Assessment should be administered upon each student’s completion of Level 7 to find out if the student has achieved 80 percent mastery of the level’s concepts . The assessment has four components:

• A decodable word assessment list that includes all the concepts in Level 7

• A list of sentences that includes the level’s decodable and sight words

• A decodable reading passage that includes the level’s decodable and sight words

• Decodable short-answer questions about the passage for assessment of comprehension and vocabulary

Administration for Decodable Words and SentencesMake two copies of the Assessment . Keep one to use as a recording form, and place one in front of the student .

Have the student read words from top to bottom . The student must read the entire sentence correctly . In the CD-ROM version, the answer key indicates the level’s decodable and sight words .


Informally keep time as the student reads . Kindergarten and first grade students should take no longer than three seconds to identify high-frequency words . Older students should take no longer than one second . If the student takes additional time to identify a word but reads the word correctly, mark T above the word .

Administration for Reading Passage and Short-Answer QuestionsMake two copies of the Assessment . Keep one to use as a recording form, and place one in front of the student . Based on the student’s needs, the passage and/or questions can be administered orally or silently .

S .P . I .R .E . • Level 7 • Introduction xiii

Introduction


Informally keep time as the student reads . Kindergarten and first grade students should take no longer than three seconds to identify high-frequency words . Older students should take no longer than one second . If the student takes additional time to identify a word but reads the word correctly, mark T above the word .

Based on students’ needs, answers to the short-answer questions can be given in phrases or complete sentences .

The answer key provided on the CD-ROM indicates in the passage which concepts and sight words are taught at this level . Complete sentence answers to the short-answer questions are also supplied in the answer key .

Scoring and ReportingSounded-out and self-corrected words should be counted as correct but noted for further remediation . Words that take students additional time to identify should also be noted .

If a student consistently sounds out decodable words without automaticity, but reads correctly, incorporate additional automaticity practice . This can be done utilizing Fluency Drills, green and yellow Word Cards, or story rereads .

If a student attempts to sound out sight words, incorporate additional automaticity practice using the red Word Cards .

If the student repeatedly misreads Decodable 1 or 2 words within a specific concept, administer the Decoding Assessment for that concept to determine if additional instruction is required .

In the CD-ROM version, the answer key indicates concept and sight words taught at this level .

ASSESSMENT SUMMARY FORMS The Concept Assessment Summary Form can be customized for each student and new concept . Use this form to record results from Decoding Assessments A and B and up to five Quick Checks . You may need to make additional copies of the form to record the results of additional Quick Checks . The Post-Level Assessment Summary Form can be used to record the results of a student’s Post-Level Assessment . This page will only need to be copied and used once, at the end of Level 7 .

Dog Ownership and TrainingA dog can be a great addition to your family, but owning

one is a tremendous responsibility. Dogs need lots of social interaction, exercise, proper nutrition and a diet that includes protein and calcium. If a dog is neglected, it may become vicious. Without regular walks in the neighborhood, some dogs become a major nuisance, barking, ruining their owners’ furniture, or habitually digging holes in the yard.

Luckily, dogs are especially intelligent creatures that learn quickly. In Europe and America, a breed called Border collies are trained to herd and protect sheep. They can learn to follow commands for complicated maneuvers with great accuracy. At home, training can make a real difference in how your dog acts. You can hire a professional dog trainer, or you can work with your dog yourself. There is an abundance of information on the subject online or at the library. Here is a partial list of pointers to get you started. Do not expect perfect obedience right away. Training a dog takes lots of patience! With continuous effort, every dog can be a champion.

• Conduct training in a safe enclosure, such as a fenced-in area or yard.

• Keep training sessions brief, with occasional breaks for your dog to play or rest.



• Maintain consistency, always using the same teaching methods.

• If your dog shows hesitancy, this may be an indicator that the training is too strenuous.

• Reinforce good actions and cooperation with praise.

1. Why is it a tremendous responsibility to own a dog?

2. What are Border collies trained to do?

3. Where should dog training be conducted?

4. What is consistency?

5. Why do you think it is important to train your dog?
