Tutorial Guide: Reading Street: Program Components

Program Reading Street is a Pre-K through Grade 6 reading program


Description designed to help teachers build readers by using engaging
literature, research-based instruction, and a wealth of teaching
tools.

Program Some of the basic components of Reading Street include the


Components following:
• Student Edition
• Teacher’s Edition
• Leveled Readers
• Trade Books
• Big Books
• Decodable Readers

Student and Two of the most important components are the Student and
Teacher’s Edition Teacher’s Editions. The Student Edition features quality, authentic
literature organized around unit concepts. Students also practice
their higher-order thinking skills and complete writing assignments
that prepare them for high-stakes tests.

The Teacher’s Edition includes research-based core instruction that


is systematic, explicit, and focused on priority skills. To help
address the diverse needs of the students, differentiated
instruction for below-level, on-level, and advanced learners is also
provided.

Assessment A critical component that distinguishes Reading Street is the


assessment. The program outlines a four-step assessment plan
that helps ensure that the students make adequate yearly
progress:
1. Diagnose and differentiate the students’ needs as the four
steps are followed.
2. Monitor the students’ progress as they advance through the
program with the help of resources like Monitor Progress
boxes, weekly assessments, and shared reading notes.
3. Assess and regroup students according to their performance
levels at various milestones, such as the end of a unit.
4. Perform summative assessment through Unit Benchmark
and End-of-Year Assessment tests that help guide students
to advanced reading levels.

Leveled Readers The Leveled Readers allow students more opportunities to practice
the same skill, strategy, and vocabulary as the main selection.
Students will also benefit from another conceptually coherent
reader at an appropriate level. Choose between three levels: On-
Level, Strategic Intervention, and Advanced. Leveled Readers are
available for English Language Learners as well, and they’re
available online in SuccessNet through the Leveled Reader
database.

Several tutorials that show how to use the features of SuccessNet


(such as the Leveled Reader database) are available on this Web
site.

Trade Books and Trade books that extend students’ reading and concept
Big Books development are also used in Reading Street. Each unit in the
program has an On-Level, Strategic Intervention, and Advanced
trade book to support all reading abilities. Similarly, Big Books that
develop concepts and oral vocabulary and can be used to monitor
listening comprehension skills are also used.

Decodable The Decodable Readers provide focused phonics and blending


Readers practice for each phonics skill. These are available in kindergarten
through Grade 3. These can be used as resources to provide
fluency practice for students. All vocabulary and phonics skills are
retaught in these readers, so students have a higher chance of
achieving one hundred percent accuracy.

Phonics and Word The Phonics and Word Study component provides additional
Study resources and activities to help teach phonics. These resources
include
• Sound Spelling Cards that can be used to introduce each
sound spelling in the phonics lessons. Each card includes an
instructional routine with a spelling generalization, a
photograph to represent the target sound, and a list of
spellings for the sound.
• Alphabet Cards that can be used to help students develop
letter and word recognition skills to connect sounds to
letters. They are available in both English and Spanish, so
use them to help English Language Learners transition from
Spanish to English.
• the Phonics and Spelling Practice Book that provides
additional written practice with phonics and word study.
