How can a Dyslexic Reading Teacher HELP 95% of all at-risk students pass the EOG Reading Test? 10 Consecutive Years!

Reading Fluency is a Fast and Quick Way to Start your Data Driven Instruction RTI Program. 

Children that qualify for remedial reading programs have a 500-1000 or even a 2000 word deficit. Children need a crash coarse in phonics, sight word recognition, and fluency/automaticity  all while developing strong vocabulary knowledge. Many programs will refocus on phonics and slowly move into sight words then finally reading comprehension. Reading Boot Camp is a crash coarse for struggling readers that hits all 5 domains of reading.  


1. Vocabulary: 

The four types of vocabulary. 
auditory, 
spoken, 
reading, 
writing

2. Phonemic Awareness:  is a subset of phonological awareness in which listeners are able to hear, identify and manipulate phonemes, the smallest units of sound that can differentiate meaning. Separating the spoken word "cat" into three distinct phonemes, /k/, /æ/, and /t/, requires phonemic awareness.

3. Phonics : refers to a method for teaching speakers of English to read and write that language. Phonics involves teaching how to connect the sounds of spoken English with letters or groups of letters (e.g., that the sound /k/ can be represented by c, k, ck, ch, or q spellings) and teaching them to blend the sounds of letters together to produce approximate pronunciations of unknown words.

4. Fluency: is the ability to read text accurately and quickly. Fluency bridges word decoding and comprehension. Comprehension is understanding what has been read. Fluency is a set of skills that allows readers to rapidly decode text while maintaining a high level of comprehension (National Reading Panel, 2001).

5. Reading Comprehension: is defined as the level of understanding of a writing

Students learn to read about 300-1000 words per year!

What level are your students?

Schonell Reading Test: Reading Age
The child should read the words left to right. When a word gets difficult, ask the child to sound it out. If the child can't say the word, then go on to the next one. The proctor supervising the test will give one mark for each word correctly pronounced - even if the reader self corrects. The proctor will not make corrections. No prompting. No hurrying. If the reader mis-pronounces slightly as in postage with a short 'o', the first time, then ask for the word again, marking it correct if the reader has self corrected. Otherwise, do not ask for a word to be re-read. If you do not give away the pronunciation of words that the reader does not know, then this same test may be used again at a later date to assess progress as a result of a teaching program.

Dealing with students with disabilities!

If students have a learning disability you will need to modify your instructional methods. Remedial reading programs are successful when you teach to the strengths and find methods to negate weakness in your students. Some students with severe dyslexia or learning disabilities will need intensive phonics training during a full transition to sight reading of all words. A few students including myself never caught on to phonics and had to learn to read like the Chines do, learning all words by sight. REMEDIAL READING MUST BE MODIFIED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE LEARNER. 

A quick look at auditory processes deficit or dyslexia:

  • Students with dyslexia will tend to be very intelligent with excellent auditory processing skills.
  • Students with a cognitive deficit will struggle with basic auditory processing/echoic memory skills.
Make sure all students have strong sight word recognition!

Sight Word: is any word that is known by a reader automatically. Sight words are the basis behind the whole-word approach to reading education. Some have suggested that sight words and the whole-word approach to reading are a significant teaching technique considering 65% of the population identify themselves as visual learners. However, the majority of recent educational research suggests that phonetic based learning strategies are more effective for languages written with alphabets, such as English. Small children are also predominantly visual learners and can therefore learn to read more effectively using sight words and the whole-word approach, if their language has an ideographic or syllabic writing system, such as Japanese or Chinese. Scientific studies have also shown that children with learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Autism or Down syndrome are also visual learners, and therefore also read words as pictures[citation needed]. In learning to read via the sight words, readers begin to understand that a word represents a 'thing'. wiki

Practice simple passages repeatedly to gain a very fast knowledge of basic English words. The goal is automaticity of 100, 500, and then a 1000 words.

Using songs, chants, or rhymes can help build phonemic awareness and automaticity in young and old.

I love songs and lyrics to help build reading skills.

Snow-white and Rose-red 


1. There was once a poor widow who lived in a lonely cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden wherein stood two rose-trees, one of which bore white and the other red roses. She had two children who were like the two rose-trees, and one was called Snow-white, and the other Rose-red.They were as good and happy, as busy and cheerful as ever two children in the world were, only Snow-white was more quiet and gentle than Rose-red. Rose-red liked better to run about in the meadows and fields seeking flowers and catching butterflies; but Snow-white sat at home with her mother, and helped her with her housework, or read to her when there was nothing to do. 124 WPM

2. The two children were so fond of one another that they always held each other by the hand when they went out together, and when Snow-white said: 'We will not leave each other,' Rose-red answered: 'Never so long as we live,' and their mother would add: 'What one has she must share with the other.' 182 WPM
