3Status of reading G4-12
- Over 8 million students in grades 4-12 are
struggling readers. - Every school day, 3,000 students drop out of high
school. - Only 70 of high school students graduate on time
with a regular diploma. - High school students in the lowest 25 of their
class are 20 times more likely to drop out than
the highest performing students.

9NAEP Watch Out for Wombats
- As we rode along the highway sixty miles
northeast of Adelaide, Australia, a
diamond-shaped sign suddenly loomed ahead. Watch
Out for Wombats, it warned. We peered into the
sparse scrub along the roadside and searched for
the brown furry animals. In the distance, we
spotted a mob of red kangaroos bouncing out of
sight, and near the road a crowlike bird called a
currawong was perched, but nowhere did we see any
wombats.
10NAEP Watch Out for Wombats
- However, we later found out that this was not
surprising because we were traveling during
midday and wombats are active mostly at night. It
wasnt until we visited the animal reserve that
we finally saw out first wombat and learned more
about this funny-looking creature. -

11Choose an animal, other than a koala, that you
know about and compare it to the wombat.

readers and how do they differ from struggling
readers?

17What are the characteristics of good G 3-8
readers and how do they differ from struggling
readers?---knowledge gain
18I know a lot about oceans and forests. One, I
know that they are different. One example is
that oceans cover most the world but forests do
not cover that much. Also, a forest is not made
of water but they are made of land whereas an
ocean is covered with water. Lastly, their
animals are very different. Some animals/plants
that are in a forest are the following squirrels,
bears, snakes, opussums, raccons, birds, wolves,
insects, grass, trees, leaves, and other plants.
Animals and plants that live in an ocean are
fish, sharks, dolphins, whales, plankton,
seaweed, and other aquatic plants. These animal
and plants survive by having shelter, having food
and water, getting enough oxygen, getting
sunlight, and having a good defense to get away
from an enemy. These animals help each other by
being food for other animals, protecting animals
from other animals, making a shelter for other
animals in exchange for something, and helping
other animals with stuff like cleaning their
teeth like if a fish goes in a bigger fishes
mouth he would be cleaning his teeth of plankton.
The little fish gets a meal and the big fish
gets clean teeth. (6)
19I know that rivers have a kinds of animals like
fish, bug and other animals. Grasslands are all
over the world. But they are hard to find. In A
river is not nuechy. Some animals were born in
clean water. Animal help each other by giving
food if they dont have nothing to eat. Animals
that live in A grassland have to eat grass but
some animals dont eat grass. A river is so fast
that we can hear the water. A river is different
because one has water and one dos not. A
grassland has grass and the other one have little
grass. A grassland has trees and one does not.

20What are the characteristics of good G 3-8
readers and how do they differ from struggling
readers? Strategy--questioning
- If birds lived under water, what would they eat?
- What do carnivorous plants eat besides insects?
- How hot can an ocean get before it kills life
there?
21What are the characteristics of good G 3-8
readers and how do they differ from struggling
readers? Strategy--questioning
- What is a grassland?
- Is there salt water in a river?
- How long does it take you to get to a grassland?
22What are the characteristics of good G 3-8
readers and how do they differ from struggling
readers? motivation to read
23Interviewer So do you remember how long it takes
you to read one of these books? Student Yeah,
about four days. I Four days? S Well, if you
read them til like ten oclock like I do. I You
do? If you stop at ten, what time do you
start? S Nine, I read for an hour. I So is it
hard to put down? S Yeah. And then my dad always
comes in and says, Okay, its time to put the
book down. I Because its time to go to bed? S
Yeah.
24- Interviewer How often at home or at school do
you spend a lot of time reading books? - Student I dont often really read at home.
- I Oh really?
- S Yeah.
- I Do you like to do other things at home
instead? - S Play games, watch TV, come outside, ride my
bike.
25What are the characteristics of good G 3-8
readers and how do they differ from struggling
readers? motivations to read
- Interesttopics, authors, series
- Involvementimmersion, time spent
- Knowledge and information
- Choiceself-selection, control
- Efficacycan read hard words, texts
- Socialshare books, talk, cooperate
26Interest
- I think I read about all the books on my
bookshelf about four times. I like reading about
animalsReally I usually wont put no animal book
down unless its really, really boringI love
animal books a lot.
27Involvement
- I take bottles of water to my room, because when
I start to read I dont come out of my room for
about three hoursSometimes I even take books to
the dinner table and read.
28Knowledge Information
- I just like to learn a lot. Its really fun for
me and its just really cool that you can learn
something that your parents dont even knowI
like to teach teachers things that they dont
know yet.
29Choice Self-determination
- When I pick out a book, usually its about
something I likeI like picking them out myself
because I always pick out a book that inspires me
and that I like.
30Efficacy
- Usually the books in the library are a little
too easy and I dont like easy books. I like
challenging books.
31Social
- Sometimes Ill walk up to the teacher at the end
of the day and when everyones left, Ill sit
there and talk to her about it, and Ill ask her
questions about the book.

- G 4 Amount of eading engagement is more highly
associated with NAEP reading achievement than
demographic variables that represent traditional
barriers to achievement. - G 8 Reading engagement is more highly associated
with NAEP than 3 years of secondary education.

83Discussion Inferences from Findings
- Hierarchical instructional design
- When motivational support is combined with
strategy instruction and text interaction, CORI
is value added for reading outcomes, compared
to SI or TI. - This value added may be due to all or some, or
the interaction among motivational practices
within CORI. We believe they are synergistic. - Guthrie, et al., J. Ed. Psych. Sept, 2004
