Reading Strategies

FOR-PD (Florida Online Reading-Professional Development) has established a Reading Strategy of the Month for educators to use. Each month FOR-PD features a different reading strategy. The research-base for the strategy is explained, directions on how to use the strategy are provided, ideas for adapting the strategy are explained, assessment tips are shared, and examples are provided from elementary and secondary levels. Past strategies are archived according to the Five Big Ideas, as well as instructional techniques.

 
ReadWriteThink, established in April of 2002, is a partnership between the International Reading Association (IRA), the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and the Verizon Foundation. 
The Florida Center for Reading Research is jointly administered at Florida State University by th Learning Systems Institute and the College of Arts and Sciences.  Its K-5 Student Center Activities (SCA) and K-3 Instructional Routines search page is designed to provide teacher’s access to the 522 individual SCA and the instructional routines from Empowering Teachers. Use the search tool to find and print specific instructional routines or student center activities and their accompanying activity masters by grade level, the 5 Big Ideas, or other categories.

PALS
PALS is a screening, diagnostic and progress monitoring tool for measuring the fundamental components of literacy.  It was developed at the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia and has been widely accepted across the nation as an effective assessment tool in early literacy. Additionally, this website provides classroom activities organized by skill to assist educators in making appropriate data-based instructional decisions.
 

Free-Reading

Free Reading is an “open source” instructional program that helps teachers teach early reading. Because it's open source, it represents the collective wisdom of a wide community of teachers and researchers. It's designed to contain a scope and sequence of activities that can support and supplement a typical “core” or “basal” program. Many of the activities are evaluated by DIBELS.
