3. Student Grouping
• Box 1 - no students
• Box 2 and 4 - Student # 1,5,11,12,& 16
• Box 2 and 5 - Student # 7, 9, 14, 15,& 17
• Box 3 and 4 - Student # 4
• Box 3 and 5 - Student # 2,3,6,8 10,13, & 18
4. FAIR Decision Tree
• Box 1- provide instruction in high-level reasoning skills, vocabulary, and
reading comprehension strategies on grade level
• Box 2 + 4- provide instruction in high-level reasoning skills, vocabulary, and
reading comprehension strategies to meet grade level standards
• Box 2 + 5- provide instruction to address specific weakness in spelling that
do not impact reading, provide instruction in basic orthographic patterns
and affixes/roots.
• Box 3 + 4- work on text reading efficiency (comprehension and fluency);
develop automaticity at the phrase, sentence, and paragraph level,
practice with repeated readings, and teach with a comprehension focus.
• Box 3 + 5- provide intense instruction in word/study, work on applying
decoding strategies to connected text, as accuracy increases build fluency
with an emphasis on comprehension strategies.
5. Box 1
Students in Box 1 scored 85% or
higher on the Reading
Comprehension section of the FAIR
assessment.
- Students will go further into grade level
text using higher level thinking
- Socratic seminars
6. Boxes 2 + 4
• The second set of students can be categorized
into boxes two and four.
• Box two is any student scoring above a 30%
MAZE percentile and box four is any student
scoring above a 30% Word Attack score.
• These students are placed into a category that
requires enhanced instruction, of current
grade level instruction
7. Boxes 2 + 4
• Strategies for students who require enhanced
instruction to assist in comprehension and
vocabulary:
– Achieve 3000
– Intervention from content area teachers
• Graphic Organizers
• Text Mapping
8. Boxes 2 + 5
• This set of students can be categorized into
boxes two and five.
• Box two is any student scoring above a 30%
MAZE percentile and box five is any student
scoring below a 30% Word Analysis Percentile
Rank.
• These students are placed into a category that
requires reading instruction in word analysis
such phonics/spelling
9. Boxes 2 + 5
• Strategies for students who require
instruction/intervention to assist in word
analysis:
– Intervention from content area teachers
• LDC
• CIS
• Project CRISS
• Kagan Training
• These strategies can and should be applied by
all content areas.
10. Boxes 3 + 4
• Students who scored less than 30% on the
MAZE assessment
• Students who scored over 30% in Word
Analysis
11. Focus for boxes 3 + 4
• The combination of these boxes represents
students who need to work on
comprehension and fluency.
13. Diagnostics Assessments for Reading
(DAR)
• Used by Duval as assessment tool
• Double blocks of reading provided
• DAR focuses on:
• - Spelling
• - Word Recognition
• - Oral Reading
• - Silent Reading
• - Word Meaning
14. Boxes 3 + 5
Students who score less than eighty-five
percent on comprehension and less than
thirty percent on both the MAZE and Word
Attack sections of the FAIR assessment need
the most intensive instruction (District:
Hillsborough, 2014) .
- Starts with word study and
moves on from there
- Main curriculum is Springboard
- Students have 2 full periods of
reading
15. Boxes 3 + 5
EPS Academy of Reading
- Ongoing progress monitoring
- Ongoing assessments
- 3 – 5 times per week for 30 minutes
- Prints detailed reports
- Online
Scholastic’s READ 2000
- For students reading two grades below level
- Utilizes gradual release
- Online
