This document outlines Bloom's Taxonomy and its six levels (Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, Evaluation) that are used to guide learners through increasingly complex cognitive processing in reading instruction. The levels progress from defining basic reading concepts to evaluating the efficacy of interventions based on data.

1. Bloom’s Taxonomical Level
• In order to facilitate the
learning process, the
levels of Bloom’s
Taxonomy will be
employed to guide the
learner from the basic
concepts of reading
automaticity, fluency &
the response-to-
intervention process.
Each process requires a
higher level of cognitive
processing.

2. Instructional Theory : Bloom’s Taxonomy

3. Cognitive Level
Knowledge (Define)
•Theoretical Knowledge of Reading
Fluency: Automaticity & Working
Memory
•Baseline, Probes, Progress monitoring
•Calculation of Reading Rate

4. Cognitive Level
Comprehension
• Describe the relationship between
fluency & working memory
•Explain the process of baseline data,
probes, & progress monitoring.

5. Cognitive Level
Analysis
•Select research based
interventions
•Analyze the data, based upon
trend line & decisional points

6. Cognitive Level
Application
•Calculate reading rate
•Create a chart in Excel of baseline
data, data points, trend line & goal
line.

7. Cognitive Level
Synthesis
•Integrate intervention measures to
create a tailored plan for students.
•Generate hypothesis

8. Cognitive Level
Evaluation
•Determine the efficacy of
interventional measures,
based upon trend line &
decisional points
