STR SINGLE CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE
Student Foundational Need: *Phonemic awareness skills*
Evidence you may see? - Answer -Student does not accurately segment words by each
individual phoneme
Example - segmenting frog as f-o-g instead of f-r-o-g
Student Foundational Need: *Phonemic awareness skills*
Instructional Strategies to implement? - Answer -- Teacher modeling and scaffolded
guided practice
- Elkonin boxes
Student Foundational Need: *Phonics Support*
Evidence you may see? - Answer -Student does not associate the correct sound with
letter or letter combination
Examples - mispronouncing consonant sounds, vowel sounds (short or long), blends, or
digraphs
Student Foundational Need: *Phonics Support*
Instructional Strategies to implement? - Answer -- Word sorts
- Explicit phonics instruction (ex. - in a text, cover parts of words with targeted phonics
patterns with a sticky note and prompt students to determine what letters are covered
based on the sound(s) heard in the word)
- Chants and poems (students must be able to SEE the words for phonics practice, not
just hear the sounds)
Student Foundational Need: *Sight Word Automaticity*
Evidence you may see? - Answer -Student does not recognize high-frequency grade-
level words that do not follow standard phonics rules (of, was, the, said, etc.)
Student Foundational Need: *Sight Word Automaticity*
Instructional Strategies to implement? - Answer -- Practice with flashcards (students
can have their own personal set based on sight word assessment)

  • Elkonin boxes Student Foundational Need: Phonics Support Evidence you may see? - Answer - Student does not associate the correct sound with letter or letter combination Examples - mispronouncing consonant sounds, vowel sounds (short or long), blends, or digraphs Student Foundational Need: Phonics Support Instructional Strategies to implement? - Answer -- Word sorts
  • Explicit phonics instruction (ex. - in a text, cover parts of words with targeted phonics patterns with a sticky note and prompt students to determine what letters are covered based on the sound(s) heard in the word)
  • Chants and poems (students must be able to SEE the words for phonics practice, not just hear the sounds) Student Foundational Need: Sight Word Automaticity Evidence you may see? - Answer - Student does not recognize high-frequency grade- level words that do not follow standard phonics rules (of, was, the, said, etc.) Student Foundational Need: Sight Word Automaticity Instructional Strategies to implement? - Answer -- Practice with flashcards (students can have their own personal set based on sight word assessment)
  • Provide word walls
  • Practice reading in context (sight words underlined in simple sentences) Student Foundational Need: Decoding Multisyllabic Words Evidence you may see? - Answer - Student pronounces only part of a multisyllabic word correctly Examples - Student pronounces "mistake" as "missake," or "pilot" as "pillot." Student Foundational Need: Decoding Multisyllabic words Instructional Strategies to implement? - Answer -- Teach student syllabication and the 6 syllable types (open, closed, vowel digraph/diphthong, r-controlled, VCe, final - le)
  • Use foldables, cut and paste activities, and syllable sorts
  • Teach students how to recognize and annotate words according to their syllable type Student Foundational Need: Decoding multisyllabic words w/ roots & affixes Evidence you may see? - Answer - Student leaves off or mispronounces prefixes or suffixes in words Examples - Student pronouncing "biggest" as "biggs," or a student omitting a word part, saying, "bad" instead of "badly." Student Foundational Need: Decoding multisyllabic words w/ roots & affixes Instructional strategies to implement? - Answer -- Review morphology (word formation) and proper pronunciation
  • Create a word part tree with students for common terms
  • Have students create their own words (real or fake) using word parts Student Foundational Need: Fluency, specifically improve accuracy Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: Student mispronounces words or has other miscues, such as insertions, omissions, or substitutions while reading Strategies:
  • Automatic word recognition (sight words and automaticity in decoding)

Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: Student is unable to identify what the text is mostly about Strategies:

  • Scaffold questioning: What did you read about? What did you learn?
  • Ask the student to answer these questions after reading the text: Who? What? When? Where? Why? Student Reading Comp Need: Unable to summarize the text Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: -- Student is unable to identify the main events of the text in order -- Student gives incomplete, vague, sometimes incorrect responses to summary questions Strategies:
  • Ask students to identify the major key events in the text Ask the student to state the beginning, middle, and end of the text in their own words
  • Work on summarizing shorter texts
  • Have students complete a sentence frame
  • Ask the 5 questions, "Who, what, when, where, and why?"
  • Teach students how to identify various text structures Student Reading Comp Need: Lacks vocabulary word knowledge Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: Student does not understand the basic ideas in the text Strategies:
  • Use graphic organizers
  • Explicitly teach essential academic vocabulary
  • Read texts containing the vocabulary words
  • Use visuals (pictures, diagrams)
  • Use the vocabulary words repeatedly in several contexts Student Reading Comp Need: Lacks knowledge of sentence & grammatical structures Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: -- Student has difficulty comprehending information presented in a compound or complex sentence. -- Student prefers to only speak and write in simple sentences Strategies:
  • Reteach how the structure of compound and complex sentences creates meaning (transitional phrases, author's style, contribute to mood/tone)
  • Model reading a compound or complex sentence and discuss its meaning

Student Reading Comp Need: Unable to determine the implied main idea of the text Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: Student is unable to identify what the text is mostly about when it is hidden in the text Strategies:

  • Scaffold questioning: What did you read about? What did you learn?
  • Ask the student to answer these questions after reading the text: Who? What? When? Where? Why?
  • Ask students to consider the text structure the author is using Student Reading Comp Need: Unable to make inferences abt the text Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: Student is unable to identify the deeper meaning within the text, including character motivation and why certain events occurred Strategies:
  • Teach self-monitoring strategies (rereading, annotating)
  • Activate background knowledge prior to reading (video/reading about the topic, KWL chart, anticipation guide)
  • Teach the formula I=TE+PK (inference = text evidence + prior knowledge) Student Reading Comp Need: Unable to relate background knowledge to the text Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: Student is unfamiliar with the topics discussed in the text, hindering comprehension Strategies:
  • Build/Activate background knowledge on the topic (video/reading about the topic, KWL chart, anticipation guide, guided discussion) Student Reading Comp Need: Unable to make a text-to-self connection after reading Evidence seen & Strategies to take? - Answer - Evidence: Student is unable to articulate his or her own opinion based on the reading. Strategies:
  • Ask students questions to help them form an opinion (ex. Do you agree or disagree with the author's main point?)
  • Have students journal in response to the text
  • Conduct student discussions on the issues raised by the text
