What does the research say?
                                Report of the National Reading Panel (2000)
                                                    and
                The Voice of Evidence in Reading Research by Peggy McCradle, Ph.D., M.P.H.
                                     and Vinita Chhabra, M.Ed. (2004)

                     “Reading rate was strongly associated with comprehension in the fourth
                      grade oral reading portion of the NAEP study and elsewhere (p.189).”

                  “repeated reading was intended to improve children’s automatic recognition
                      of words in text so less cognitive effort has to be expended on word
                   recognition and more attention can be devoted to comprehension (p.193).

                          “reading comprehension comprised of two skills; word knowledge
                                       (vocabulary) and reasoning (p. 214)”

                  “Research demonstrates the benefits of computer technology for vocabulary
                                            instruction (p.219).”

                    “In addition, the NRP review revealed the importance of instructional
                     methods that entail active engagement with word learning, multiple
                repetitions, and the use of computers and multimedia presentations( p. 221).”

Inferencing


              An inference is a prediction or deduction about something in
              written text often to do with what the character may see, hear,
              smell, taste or feel. An inference contrasts sharply with mere
              observation, or literal language.


              For instance, an observation may be... 'It was a hot day and
              Billy sweated, so he stripped to his shorts to get cool.'

              An inference would be more like... 'Billy stood in the shade of a
              tree, that helped beat back some of the heat. He changed into his
              shorts and put sunscreen on his skin.'

    What does theresearch say? Report of the National Reading Panel (2000) and The Voice of Evidence in Reading Research by Peggy McCradle, Ph.D., M.P.H. and Vinita Chhabra, M.Ed. (2004) “Reading rate was strongly associated with comprehension in the fourth grade oral reading portion of the NAEP study and elsewhere (p.189).” “repeated reading was intended to improve children’s automatic recognition of words in text so less cognitive effort has to be expended on word recognition and more attention can be devoted to comprehension (p.193). “reading comprehension comprised of two skills; word knowledge (vocabulary) and reasoning (p. 214)” “Research demonstrates the benefits of computer technology for vocabulary instruction (p.219).” “In addition, the NRP review revealed the importance of instructional methods that entail active engagement with word learning, multiple repetitions, and the use of computers and multimedia presentations( p. 221).” Friday, August 21, 2009 4

    Inferencing An inference is a prediction or deduction about something in written text often to do with what the character may see, hear, smell, taste or feel. An inference contrasts sharply with mere observation, or literal language. For instance, an observation may be... 'It was a hot day and Billy sweated, so he stripped to his shorts to get cool.' An inference would be more like... 'Billy stood in the shade of a tree, that helped beat back some of the heat. He changed into his shorts and put sunscreen on his skin.' source: Inferencing Friday, August 21, 2009 6
