First Graders Succeed with Phonics at Liberty Elementary in Riverside, CA
Please take a moment to read the excerpt of a letter written by a Project Read® Program teacher and trainer regarding the success of a group of first graders in Riverside, CA, whose reading scores improved tremendously over a six week period using the Project Read® Curriculum. Judy wrote:
"When we began, none of these students could consistently blend or segment two sounds. They could not identify the first, middle, or end sound of a word. They did not understand how letters or punctuation worked and couldn't consistently respond to questions such as, "What letter comes before 'n' on your alphabet strip." All exhibited b/d reversals and did not monitor their reading. They did not attend to the guide lines on paper and letter formation was poor.
The students received daily intervention for 6 weeks for a total of 22 hours. Improvement in all areas is evident. Every student can consistently blend, segment, and identify the the location of cvc words. Most attend to punctuation, expecially the comma and exclamation mark. They corerct each other's letter formation, and they love to read and spell!
In addition to this, many of their classmates with poor fluency were provided approximately 10 extra minutes of fluency practice using the Bonnie Kline stories. These two interventions resulted in strong reading improvement. Based on fluency measures, this school's first gread team moved from 26th of 30 elementary schools to 13th of 30 schools!"
