REFLECTION
My students have benefited tremendously from the Reading Plus Program by becoming better readers. Their fluency rates and vocabulary have increased. The students like the individualize reports that shows their progress. Reading Plus is user friendly and the students really enjoy the program. I have experienced wonderful results with Reading Plus with my students.
I use many of the reports that are available through Reading Plus. All the reports are extremely beneficial for instruction. The following is a list of the reports that I use: Class Progress Report, Class Detailed Skills, Class use and Progress, Class Status, Class Awards Report.
My motivation plan that I implemented this school year is as follows: • Weekly Reading Plus Lessons Grade • Weekly Monitoring • Weekly Meeting with students regarding progress • Weekly Awards • Immediate recognition to student when they receive a Level Up Award or Award Level.
The reports in the Reading Plus program are extremely beneficial. They are an easy way that the teacher can get an overview how the class as a whole is progressing or get individual detailed information on a particular student. The class status report is used to tell the teacher how many total sessions a student has completed and the student's average comprehension level. It also tells the teacher how many sessions have been completed in the last seven days. The class awards report tells how many students have completed a level. The class skills assignment report gives details on each particular student. The class detailed skills report gives class averages and progress. The class progress reports tells how the class is progressing as a whole. The class use and progress provides the same information. The student report gives details on the progress of each student. Student benefit greatly from the Reading Plus program if they consistently work on it. They have to commit to completing at least 3 lessons per week. I assign the student's grades each week and I exprect them to work on the lessons at home. In addition, I rotate them using the computers in my classroom. I remind students that they will get weekly grades, in addition to improving their reading level. Reading Plus does an excellent job of allowing students to see their scores improving. They can see their progress and set goals for themselves. I use the class status report and call students up to my desk to discuss their progress. I also plan to print some of their awards when they complete a level. I will set up a "Wall of Fame" to display the awards and eventually each student should have an award to display.
The Reading Plus Program is amazing, from its design to the wealth of information it provides me about each individual student's progress. Students benefit from the program because it is specific to each of their needs/levels. The repeated practice will discipline them while helping improve their reading. Because I have emphasized the program's importance and my students know that I am holding them accountable for 3 sessions each week, they are applying themselves. They have confessed to me that, in the past, they did not; thankfully, with the majority of the students, there has been a change for the better. The downfall, however, is that several of my students do not have internet access at home. While I have offered them solutions, including using the computers in my classroom or the library during lunch or after school, many of them have not taken the opportunity. Unfortunately, part of the problem is lack of motivation. Many of those seniors would prefer to go home and take a nap right after school than to stay an extra half hour to complete a Reading Plus session. Accordingly, I would like to provide more opportunities to complete the sessions in class, whether I do so by taking the entire class to the lab or by scheduling small groups of students to use the computers in my classroom. My students have requested that I schedule lab time for Reading Plus. They are concerned about their grades and have admitted they are less distracted when I am monitoring them; at home, they have endless distractions, from simultaneously perusing Facebook or texting, to watching T.V. or fighting with siblings over use of the computer while completing a Reading Plus session. At this time, only one student has achieved a level award, so hers is the only certificate (printed from the class awards report) on the "Top-notch Readers" bulletin board. In order to motivate them, each of the students names is already on the bulletin board. Seeing their classmates' certificates on the board encourages them even more. While I want my students to be intrinsically motivated, I've found that extrinsic motivation is most effective with them, so we've discussed having a competition between my 3 Intensive Reading classes to motivate them further, yet we haven't agreed on the terms thus far.
