Threshold Concepts That Build Reading Competency

The IRLA's reading taxonomy outlines the big "jumps" in reading skills, strategies, and concepts that distinguish one IRLA reading level from the next. The concept listed for each level is the new "threshold concept" required for independent reading of text

Independent Reading Level Assessment:
A Common Core Framework for Continuous Improvement
The IRLA is a K-12 developmental scope and sequence for reading acquisition that prepares all students for success in college, career, and life, as articulated by the Common Core State Standards. The IRLA includes every Common Core State Standard for Reading, as well as those Language standards key to reading success, for students in grades PreK to 12. Each reading level represents a new threshold concept/skill that was not required to read text at the level below.
Teachers use the IRLA to locate each student on this standards continuum to:
? identify a baseline reading level;
? match reader with appropriate texts, leveled to the same IRLA system;
? identify which skills/Standards and in what order (including foundational skills) are the most crucial for each student/reader/individual to learn next ;
? design individual, small-group, and whole-group instruction targeted to the development of specific skills; and
? monitor progress through the standards/reading levels in real-time, to ensure all students are on-track to make sufficient reading growth, or intervene early.
? Repeat in a relentless march toward grade level and beyond.

End Goal: Educators who can listen to any reader read & discuss any text and deduce a specific learning goal that will accelerate reading growth.

Phonics Infrastructure for Leveling
This locator provides information about a reader's control of phonics. The locator is not sufficient for determining a level. The most important indicator of a student's reading level should always be his or her ability to understand the meaning of the text. Use this tool in initial leveling to help locate an appropriate level of text from which to begin.
Directions - Have the reader:
1. Read across a few rows until it becomes clear which column contains words the student is unable to handle independently. Do not provide any help of any kind.
2. Back up to the highest column the student has been able to read independently and have him or her read down (part of ) that column until you are comfortable that the student can/ cannot handle these types of words independently. There is no need to finish the column if this is obvious part way down.
The highest level at which the student can read at least 70?80% of the words is his or her phonics level. This is not necessarily his or her reading level, because you haven't checked comprehension in actual text.

Academic Vocabulary Infrastructure for Leveling
This locator provides information about a reader's academic vocabulary acquisition. The locator is not sufficient for determining a reader's level. The most important indicator of a student's reading level should always be his or her ability to understand the meaning of text. Use these lists in initial leveling to determine whether his or her working vocabulary is sufficient to comprehend text at each level and so to decide at what IRLA level to begin testing.
Directions: Read through this column, and find a word you know. Read the word, and give me a synonym or short definition for the word.
Student should be able to select 5-6 words from the column to read and provide a synonym or short definition. DO NOT allow students to use the word in a sentence in lieu of providing a definition.
