| Posted Jun 23, 2002 at v:14:06 PM Bailiwick: Cracking leaps and Reading rate - what's advisable goal We just started using groovy leaps with our 8 year onetime son - and the results are fascinating. And consistent with the neuropsych eval. we had done last jump which found him to have high phonemic awareness, just incredibly slow processing speed and ho-hum rate on the Gray Oral reading test. I've started him at the beginning of the phonics and phrases and he'due south at the primer level in the stories. In about 2 days of reading he can master a page and movement on. Based on input from many of you I've sort of concluded that he has a rapid naming problem and that is the main cause of his reading consequence. What I've observed is that fifty-fifty on a new page his error rate is depression (0-1) so he seems to exist reading accurately - just slowly . So here is my question: what should the words per minute rate for a child his age be? (he'south going into third grade in the fall) I just want to have a sense of how his performance with this material compares to real life expectations. Thanks! | |

In Keen Leaps they are supposed to read the page in 60 seconds or less. I have two students who are so astringent they can spend WEEKS on a single page of phonics or phrases and NOT achieve this. So, I set the rate somewhere more reasonable and tell them nosotros are going for accuracy over speed. |

I've been pleasently surprised with his work then far. He's reguarly in the hello-50 to 70 wpm with skilful accuracy. (He even hit 103 one day!) I'thou sure he doesn't read this quickly on a regular basis - knowing he'south trying to beat the timer is a big incentive. Just I am hopeful that it volition improve his fluency over time. Cheers! |

In using Bang-up Leaps with students, I begin their piece of work at unlike points in the passages only start all at the beginning of phrases section. Not sure what Ken Campbell would accept to say about this, it'southward only what I do. I have had some wonderful success in using Swell Leaps with slow visual processors. Some students enjoy reading the poems, etc. for dramatic flair and we exercise some equally a small-grouping Reader's Theater kind of matter; sometimes in two voices if I tin can make the piece fit. |

The phrases piece is the part of which I am most proud - except perchance some of the sillier poems. For years those of u.s. in precision education have tried to have what we called "sight words" generalize. Our speed tactics didn't piece of work. Information technology appeared even though the child knew the give-and-take in isolation - when reading time came - the high error rates maintained. By having these words mixed in phrases - with requirements getting progressively difficult and fifty-fifty configuratively confusing (how's that for alliteration??) students who completed the word greatly lowered their fault rates with these words. Others across the country accept achieved the same results - though (unfortunately for business) at that place have been no formal studies of which I am aware. If I conducted such a written report - would my personal interest bias my piece of work?? If not in reality, certainly in the minds of many readers. I'll exist preparation at East Carolina in August. I'll be at Illinois' Branch IDA in October. I'll be at NY's Branch IDA in the spring. Mostly, I'll be at abode working at Avant-garde Fluency Building and putting the finishing touches on a complimentary writing plan. I'll be enjoying my two boys and my young one-year old granddaughter who recently had neuro-surgery and has healed wonderfully - thank you in part to the prayers and good wishes of the educational activity community across the country.

My reasoning is, if the child has decoding problems we need to get that straightened out offset, and I utilise other things for that. I prefer using words (phrases and stories) over phonemes for fluency do. I do like Great Leaps, though, Ken, and notice it very like shooting fish in a barrel to use and very motivating for the children. Janis |

Last night he hit 110 wpm reading a story he has read maybe half-dozen times before. It only took a few days, simply subsequently his intial timing he wanted to exercise a few times which I understand is allowed.( His error rate is 0-1 from the beginning, he only had to increase his speed .) Am I right? Does information technology sound like we are using the materials correctly? When you are working with a pupil do you ever skip stories, or do yous just proceed page by page? Exercise you practise anything to help children carry over the skills they develop while using Great Leaps to their every twenty-four hours reading? I ask that question b/c my son is an anxious reader, and has performed much amend with Great Leaps than I expected . |

It sounds like your son is motivated past the program and is doing quite well! The best thing yous tin have him do is read other things of his choice to you lot everyday (untimed, of class). Hopefully the success with GL will behave over into his other reading. That'due south why I'd accept him read other things aloud too. Janis |

I oasis't done a thorough lit search yet, but hope to do this in the autumn. And then mayhap... I do take some anecdotal evidence with 6th grade students: Students with LD in my classes who received repeated readings fluency intervention (n=34) grew in their class-level reading ability at twice the charge per unit equally those that received only discussion recognition and comprehension interventions (n=21). This information appeared because I didn't have help some hours from a paraprofessional or parent volunteer to do fluency intervention. This which created an accidental control grouping. Personally, I don't think it would be biased for yous to plan a study and have others implement it. I think middle-school age would be a dandy place to do it since lots of kids have tertiary and 4th course reading levels but read too slowly. How did you lot decide what to clamper for phrases?

I use decodable text with about of the kids and the Bang-up Leaps telescopic and sequence on the phonics section doesn't friction match mine. I exercise employ, though, both stories and phrases. |

I went to your website, only I did not encounter any samples of the reading program. I am very interested in this program, but hate to buy something sight unseen. Thanks, P.S. My dd has auditory and visual processing disorders. She has very wearisome rapid naming skills. She also skips pocket-sized words such equally of, a, on. She besides has problem with sciatic skills -- she jumps back in her reading from left to correct. |

I'chiliad not sure that inquiry evidences positive bear on for more 6-7 trials on repeated readings (Reference: National Reading Panel--tin get folio/section if desired. This is merely off-the-cuff.) I usually move on afterward almost a calendar week unless the child is close and enjoying the competition with him/herself. Ken? |

I learned about through my college professor -- Adory Buetel. Anyways, it's definately a slice to the puzzle when working with reading fluency. I use Lindamood first and so use Great Leaps as a working an transfering. Kids can't get enough of information technology. This past year, small groups used this in the 3rd class as a supplement. The general ed teacher was impressed. Thanks for a great program. Tell me more about the writing programme you are working on when you lot get a take chances. Thanks again! Angela |

Susan, Before someone said decoding had to exist a loftier rates before reading phrases or passages could begin. With non-reading older children I strongly urge a coordinated arroyo. The behavioral consequences of non reading are too deleterious to motivation (among other things) to not endeavour to motion them as fast equally humanly possible. Many working sophisticated interventions with dyslexics go to phrases and uncomplicated stories when phonemic awareness is reached. Ken |
