Assessment Description

Reading/Literacy specialists need to be familiar with the most current curricular programs used by schools and districts to teach literacy. Knowledge of these programs enables reading/literacy specialists to support evidence-based practices around data collection, instruction, and assessment, as well as related interventions.

Create a graphic organizer to outline three evidence-based literacy intervention programs designed to support struggling readers in a more intensive learning environment for your school administration, including at least one that utilizes technology.

In 500-750 words, include the following in your graphic organizer for each program:

· Name of program and appropriate grade levels.

· Amira Learning (K-3), Edgenuity Pathblazer (K-6), Sonday System LPL (Preschool-Kindergarten)

· What the program is intended to teach or remediate.

· How the program is implemented.

· Assessments that are part of the program or ways to measure student progress.

· Current research supporting the effectiveness of the program.

You are encouraged to select literacy programs that are relevant to your field experience classroom or the school/district in which you are immersed.

Select one of the programs from the graphic organizer that you would recommend. In 250-500 words, discuss how this program could be used by reading/literacy specialists and teachers to support literacy learning and meet the needs of all students. How will the chosen program be disseminated to staff, implemented, and continuously evaluated in a way that fosters a positive literacy environment?

Support your work with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
