Jersey Department of Education to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act, which requires all

children to gain language proficiency by improving their reading and writing skills. Such skills

go a long way in ensuring that all children understand and employ their knowledge of sounds,

letters, and words in written English in order to become independent and fluent readers.

Additionally, the standard provides mechanisms to allow students to write in clear, concise,

organized language that varies in content and form for different audiences and purposes.

Patterns and Gaps in Learning identified

There are several learning gaps that pose hindrance to the successful acquisition of

reading and writing skills for students. One such challenge is the gap between the student and the

text. For some students, learning is easy. However, the same may not be the case for immigrant

student, English Language Learner (ELL), and a student who speaks non-standard English

(Hetzel et al., 2007). The ELLs have, for example, have specialized literacy gaps that stem from

the incongruity between their home and school worlds. The gap between student and texts

comprises many problems that create barriers between the student and the comprehension of the

text, such as readability issues, background knowledge, interest, as well as language transfer.

Many factors may also affect the readability of a text. Readability refers to a formula for

calculating a grade level equivalent for a particular passage, which usually entails sentence

length, number of words, or syllables.

Supplemental Reading and Writing Resources

Assessment Analysis Action Plan 3 There are various reading and writing resources that educators can employ to support the

content areas. They include Bookshare, Center on Instruction, as well as Read to Lead. The Read

to Lead resource, for example, is an online resource that supports middle school learners to

improve their literacy skills. The platform provides games and hours of supplemental resources.

BookShire, on the other hand, is one of the world’s largest accessible digital libraries for

individuals with print and learning disabilities such as dyslexia. It provides free membership to

qualified US schools and learners. It also has more than 43000 textbooks, digital books, and

teacher-recommended readings to support children to succeed and enjoy reading and writing

independently.

Topic and Assessment Ideas

Three of the topics that will be incorporated into the learning program include

comprehension, vocabulary, and dictation. Comprehension is important in enabling students to

understand and interpret what they have read. This enables them to accurately understand the

written materials and decode what they have read to make connections between them and what

they already know. Vocabulary topic will focus on improving student’s capacity of acquiring

new terms in acquisition of language (Martinez et al., 2014). Vocabulary efficiency will enable

students to optimize their understanding of a set of words, which will be critical in boosting their

communication skills. Moreover, assessment will be critical in examining the extent to which

students have acquired the learning contents. This will be done using formative and summative

assessment models. Formative assessment will, for example, include continuous assessment tests

and quizzes. Summative assessment will include end of term examination. Both assessments play

the role of gauging learner progress ( Wolf, Guzman‐Orth, & Hauck, 2016).

Providing Feedback and Working Collaboratively with Teachers

Assessment Analysis Action Plan 4 Feedback will be provided to students to highlight areas of progress and issues that

require correction. This will be done periodically in order to monitor students’’ progress and

determine the extent to which they have acquired knowledge. Educators must work

collaboratively with their peers by joining multi-disciplinary teams, which will seek to promote

knowledge sharing that will help to address existing and emerging learning concerns.
