Effective Formative Assessment to Align all Stakeholders Around and to Support Student Achievement

Do You Know Enough About Me to Teach Me? —Stephen Peters

The IRLA Formative Assessment tool from American Reading Company (ARC) will equip teachers with the tools they need to ensure that every student is moving toward grade-level mastery of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. Regular use of the IRLA ensures that teachers know the highest level of text complexity each student is currently able to read and understand independently, as well as which of the TEKS the student can apply to his or her current highest level of text complexity.

Use of the IRLA ensures that the TEKS are the focus of instruction in every class, at every grade level, and in every school. Additionally, the clear, consistent, user-friendly format engages parents and community volunteers to participate in the dialogue around their students’ achievement.

Effective Reading

When I read, I ask:

What is the author telling me?

What? When? Where? Who? Why?

How do I feel about this?

Have I had experiences similar or different to these ones?

Is what happened right (fair, kind, moral, appropriate)?

Who benefits (suffers) in a situation like this?

Has anyone been excluded from this text?

Who is left out? Why?

Does this text allow for human diversity?

What will I take away from this experience?

What might I do in a situation like the one in the text?

How can I improve my life/conditions/relations?

Reading is more than a source of information and entertainment. It is an empowering act.

IRLA Starter Kit

Know Where Your Students Are and What They Need to Do Next

The IRLA is the essential diagnostic and formative assessment tool that enables teachers to use the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills to establish a baseline reading level and outline a course of remediation, acceleration, or maintenance for each child and his/her family.

Rotating TEKS-leveled classroom libraries put authentic trade books, color-coded to each IRLA level, at the fingertips of teachers and students, giving each student instant access to just-right text for independent practice, coaching, and conferencing. The IRLA Starter Kit includes 5 baskets per classroom (150 unique titles).

Reading Acquisition Skills Cards serve as family-friendly versions of each IRLA level, outlining the skills, standards, and habits students need to master at that level.

Also Available in Spanish

The Evaluación del nivel independiente de lectura (ENIL) parallels the IRLA while reflecting the different developmental stages of learning to read in Spanish.

2G Independent Reading Level OverviewAccumulating 120 Power Words, Initial Blends & Digraphs

2G Learning FocusPower Words, Initial Blends & Digraphs Power Words: 2G readers will know and use 120 very high-frequency Power Words as a reliable and familiar support framework when reading. They will be able to read these words in books they have never seen before and out of context (lists, flash cards, etc.) at Flash Speed. Power Words provide “islands of certainty” from which emergent readers can navigate the unknown. The combined Power Words in 1G and 2G make up 50% of all adult and student writing.

Initial Blends & Digraphs: When students come to a word they don’t know, they will successfully use initial blends and digraphs as clues.

TEKS-Based Formative Assessment Tool

Student Growth Model: Independent Reading Level Assessment® (IRLA)

The IRLA® is a formative assessment tool that can be used for student assessment, text leveling, and instructional planning. It outlines both the Foundational Skills Standards and Reading Comprehension Standards required at each grade level, K–12. The IRLA includes assessment pieces to evaluate student proficiency with each standard.

The IRLA enables educators to:

• Ensure that Grade-Level Instruction in reading is appropriately rigorous;

• Provide diff erentiated support that eff ectively meets the needs of all learners, including special education, second language, and gifted and talented students;

• Determine a student’s current level of reading profi ciency, diagnose areas of strength and weakness, formulate an Action Plan for next steps, and track progress;

• Become an expert in reading instruction.

Tailored to the needs of students at each level of reading acquisition and color-coded to the leveling system, the Reading Acquisition Skills Cards help teachers and students identify a student’s level and teach the appropriate reading strategies for that level. The cards make explicit what each student must practice in order to move on to the next level. Comprehension questions are keyed to the higher-order thinking skills required by high-stakes tests.

Reading Acquisition Skills Cards

Over the past 15 years, American Reading Company (ARC) has compiled a comprehensive, state-of-the-art, 100,000-title database, working with more than 220 school and trade publishers in both the English and Spanish markets. Each year, ARC reviews thousands of new titles. We select from that the best 5,000 to level and add to our database. Using this database, our expert librarians have built classroom libraries and/or thematic text sets for more than 3,900 schools in more than 650 districts.

Classroom Libraries

Wide Reading Libraries

ARC books are organized into colorful bins by reading level. The school receives 10 bins (approximately 300 titles) for each classroom. The range of reading levels is significantly wider than that traditionally included in classroom libraries, ensuring the libraries support the reading abilities of ALL students in each classroom. Assuming four classrooms per grade in a K–5 elementary school, this would be 7,200 DIFFERENT titles.

This component system allows schools to choose to circulate the books among classrooms. Instead of one static collection of books that sits in one classroom all year, a river of books moves through the school and into children’s homes, providing access to new titles—at the right levels for every reader—each week.

If schools choose to use this circulation system, the bins are housed centrally, signed out by teachers, and never belong to any particular classroom. Providing a steady stream of the right books will help ensure that all children have the opportunity to get enough reading practice to get good at it.

Hook Book Collections

The Hook Book Collections™ offer the best 50 or 100 titles for each grade across a wide range of reading levels. These collections are carefully curated to include the types of books every teacher needs as part of a classroom library to nurture the reading development of students in his/her specific grade. These collections are static.

READING LEVEL IS DETERMINED BY:

• Quantitative Measures (where available)

• Qualitative Measures

• Reader and Task Considerations


TEKS-Based Leveling System

Every ARC book wears a brightly colored sticker indicating its reading grade level. In other words, each book has been “sized” along a grade-level continuum. Every title is hand-leveled by at least two independent levelers. The sizing begins with a Lexile or other quantitative measure where available, but also includes a careful evaluation of the skills and strategies a reader will need in order to read/understand that book. Rather than searching through a sea of spines for a book that “looks” good, students can immediately find titles that fit them. Leveled text sets ensure access to books at the reading level of each student, including students who are significantly behind or just learning to speak English.


®®®

®®®


American Reading Company has been on a mission since 1998 to find books that reflect the experiences of African Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, and North American Indians. ARC supports small independent publishers and authors working on this mission. ARC libraries include virtually every good book in print for children, with a special focus on books about historically underrepresented people.

Every student will find him-/herself and his/her family represented in each of the baskets of books, to the extent they are available from American publishers. ARC regularly provides classroom libraries for reservation schools, the American Legacy Magazine African American History Mobile Truck Exhibit, Alma Flor Ada Latino Heritage Collections, Core Knowledge Curriculum Supplementary Collections, and Expeditionary Learning Core Materials, as well as text sets and classroom libraries for hundreds of districts of every kind across the country.

Multicultural Collections Provide Access, Equity, and Safe Learning Environments for All Students and Families


Classroom

Home


As if they had stopped at the bookstore on the way home from school with $15–$50 to spend, each student arrives home every afternoon with one, two, three, or more trade books, hot off the press, that are part of a system designed for their achievement. Daily practice at home engages parents in their child’s learning and ensures that every student adopts the independent reading routines of academically successful learners.

Home and School Partnerships


Professional Development

ARC Coaches support district and school leaders as they learn to organize all stakeholders around critical evidence of student learning. Additionally, ARC Coaches work with teachers in their own classrooms as they learn to integrate the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills into their daily practice.

All ARC professional development is structured around a gradual release model, starting out with a workshop, moving into grade group meetings and/or “fishbowl” demonstration lessons, and finally into 1:1 support and Status Checks, as needed.

WorkshopWhole-group setting with hands-on learning experiences, simulations, and practical applications.

Status ChecksClassroom visits where ARC Executive Coach, Principal, and Leadership Team will observe and collect data on a specific Action Step metric for 15 minutes and then debrief and transition to next classroom.

FishbowlDemonstration lessons with teacher coaching and debriefing.

One-On-OneARC Executive Coach provides differentiated support to individual teachers.

Fishbowl (Out of Classroom)Elbow-to-elbow coaching sessions with one teacher and one child or one teacher and a small group working together with ARC Executive Coach while peer colleagues observe. This occurs outside of the classroom and follows with planning and discussion.

Grade Group MeetingsGrade Group Teams meet at Data Wall to monitor, plan, and edit student intervention plans and to track rate of progress for each Tier 2 and Tier 3 student and/or to focus on a specific Action Step as a grade group.

Fishbowl (Collaborative)Grade-level teams review levels in each others’ classrooms—can be organized by color-level studies, or Tier focus, or Rate of Progress focus.

Marking Period Levels ReviewLevels are reviewed for EVERY student—organized and conducted by school and district Leadership Teams.

Family Workshop for Parents and ChildrenParents will learn how they can help students read well, love reading, and use their increasing reading abilities to forge successful life pathways.
