The document discusses key points for planning effective reading programs, such as coordinated instruction, more time for struggling readers, individual or small group instruction, simple texts, rereading, focusing on words and letters, writing, ongoing assessment, home-school connections, and teacher training. It also covers basic principles like diagnosing needs, individualizing instruction, starting at an easy level, building self-concept, motivating students, keeping a relaxed atmosphere, using variety, building word recognition, using specialized methods, and following up. Finally, it discusses bottom-up, top-down, and interactive reading models as well as formats for reading program proposals and examples of programs.

8. PLANNING A READING PROGRAM

10. A BOTTOM-UP reading model is a reading model that emphasizes the written or
printed text, it says that reading is driven by a process that results in meaning
(or, in other words, reading is driven by text) and that reading proceeds from
part to whole.
A TOP-DOWN reading model is a reading approach that emphasizes what the
reader brings to the text, it contends that reading is driven by meaning and
proceeds from whole to part. It is also known as concept-driven model.
An INTERACTIVE reading model is a reading model that recognizes the
interaction of bottom- up and top-down processes simultaneously throughout
the reading process. Focuses on the belief that what motivates a
student to read is important.
