NEW YORK, July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Scholastic,
the global children's publishing, education, and media company,
announced the release of The Next Step Forward in Reading
Intervention: The RISE Framework, a new professional book from
literacy educators Jan Richardson,
Ph.D., and Ellen Lewis, M.Ed. The
RISE (Reading Intervention for Students to Excel) framework is a
step-by-step resource for educators of striving readers in grades
1–8. It provides intensive, targeted, and short-term instruction to
bolster student literacy skills, proficiency, and the confidence
needed to excel as a reader. The Next Step Forward in Reading
Intervention is now available:
www.scholastic.com/rise
The handbook outlines two fast and focused intervention plans
that help students construct meaning while reading: RISE for
students in grades 1–5 reading at guided reading levels C–N, who
need to work on decoding, fluency, phonics, reading comprehension,
and writing, and RISE Up for students in grades 3–8 reading at
guided reading levels O–Z, who need to strengthen their
comprehension strategies. Both plans are based on Richardson's
best-selling The Next Step Forward in Guided Reading.
Key features of the RISE framework include:
- Instructional stations through which students rotate in small
groups daily for six to eight weeks
- Lesson guides that support intense, meaning-focused instruction
for 45–60 minutes
- Opportunities for collaborative team meetings that help
instructors identify daily teaching goals, monitor progress, and
decide when students are ready to exit intervention
- An appendix containing lesson templates, Comprehension Cards,
tools for communicating with families about literacy, and
additional resources
- Access to online resources and videos that offer insights from
experts, lessons in action at each station, and team meetings
Jan Richardson,
Ph.D., renowned K–12 educator and professional development
consultant, leading expert in guided reading, and respected
author, says, "Students who need intervention often get
trapped in a cycle of frustration that inhibits them from becoming
the successful and happy readers we know that they want to be. RISE
makes it possible to help striving readers make swift progress in a
way that alleviates frustration, helps students improve and
maintain literacy skills, and cultivates a lifelong love of reading
that is so important for continued success."
Reading teacher and literacy consultant Ellen Lewis, M.Ed. adds, "Making students
lifetime members of the reading intervention club does not help
them overcome their literacy challenges. RISE helps kids move out
and beyond intervention. After just eight weeks, my students who
participated in RISE sustained their advancements, and thrived even
more once they returned to their classrooms."
"The Next Step Forward in Reading Intervention will
revolutionize the way that intervention happens in schools by
breaking the cycle of ongoing remedial programs that leave too many
students stuck year after year," says Dr. Lois Bridges, Vice President & Publisher,
Scholastic Education. "Jan
Richardson and Ellen Lewis
have combined their Reading Recovery® expertise and firsthand
classroom experience to cultivate a professional resource for
meaning-centered intervention that is proven to get kids reading on
grade level while developing an understanding of and love for
reading, and that is invaluable."
