Dyslexia | is a learning disorder that affects a student's ability to read, spell, write, and speak. |
Characteristics of Dyslexia | difficulty with phonological awareness difficulty reading words in isolation difficulty decoding unfamiliar words slow, inaccurate, or labored (without prosody) oral reading difficulty spelling limited reading fluency |
Dysgraphia | A disorder manifested by a difficulty in learning to read, write, or spell, despite conventional instruction, adequate intelligence, and sociocultural opportunity |
ELA | English Language Arts |
Intrinsically motivated | students draw their motivation from the learning process. They find joy in the activity itself and learn for the sake of learning. This is the most desired motivation for students |
Extrinsic motivation (or External motivation) | motive for the activity comes from outside the individual. |
Autonomy | A student's ability to self-govern or self-motivate |
Competence | refers to how a student perceives his own understanding and mastery of a topic. |
literature circles | A strategy in which a teacher organizes students into small groups to discuss a common text. |
Reading fluency | is measured by accuracy, prosody, and speed. |
Guided Reading | reading done by students with teacher support. This reading will be done within the framework of a lesson and is often in a small-group setting with the teacher. |
Independent Reading | reading done by students independent of the teacher. This reading can be either assigned or student-selected |
Book talks | informal or formal conversations with their peers or with the teacher to discuss their books. |
Response to Intervention (RtI) | research-based instructional intervention process used in general education classrooms to monitor and measure student progress(small group pull-out, tutoring) |
RTI Tier 1 | The first step in the RtI process is an assessment of all students in a class to determine which students need instructional interventions. The teacher can then use differentiated instruction during class time to meet student needs. |
RTI Tier 2 | the teacher will introduce small groups to work on specific skills. These Tier 2 interventions take place a few times a week during electives or enrichment activities so that students don't miss out on class time. |
RTI Tier 3 | smallest group of students as they require instruction that is extremely individualized. If the student doesn't make progress in Tier 3, it's likely that he/she will need to be evaluated for Special Education services. |
