The Teaching of Reading
“No other skill taught in school and learned by school children is more important than reading. It is the gateway to all other knowledge.”
American Federation of Teachers
![Page 4: R EADING, P ROFESSIONAL D EVELOPMENT AND LETRS Erin Eighmy IU5 Literacy TaC Certified LETRS trainer erin_eighmy@iu5.org 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649ddd5503460f94ad610d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Reading Instruction Is a National PriorityWarm-Up Questions Approximately how many students in your school,
district, or state are viewed as poor readers at the end of grade 3?
By what criteria are those students identified (e.g., state end-of-grade test, benchmarks on screening measures, NAEP scores)?
Are your local school statistics better than, the same as, or worse than state averages?
Are you satisfied with your class’s achievement in reading, spelling, writing, and/or language?

Reading Problems Are Common
NICHD¹ characterized reading difficulty as a major public health concern.
Too many children have inadequate reading skills: In 2005, approximately 38 percent of 4th graders
were identified as poor readers².Up to 70 percent of children in high-poverty
schools are “below basic,” especially African American, Hispanic, and Native American children.
The social implications are many!¹ National Institute of Child Health and Human Development

Fewer than 10% of licensed, practicing teachers could correctly answer questions about the role of phoneme awareness, fluency, and context use in proficient reading, prior to coursework
Most could not calibrate their existing knowledge with their performance on objective tests – they typically overestimated their knowledge
![Page 41: R EADING, P ROFESSIONAL D EVELOPMENT AND LETRS Erin Eighmy IU5 Literacy TaC Certified LETRS trainer erin_eighmy@iu5.org 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649ddd5503460f94ad610d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Teachers Perception of Knowledge Cunningham, Perry, Stanovich, Stanovich 2004
Teachers are more aware of their knowledge of children’s literature
Teachers are less aware of their knowledge of phonological awareness and phonics
Teachers who are not well calibrated will be less open to new learning
Teachers need to know what they do not know

Instruction Matters
All but 2 to 5 percent of children can learn basic reading skills in first grade.

Use of research-based, best practices for literacy is crucial.
Programs don’t teach children, teachers do!
