Preface
The Partnership for Reading is pleased to present Research-Based Principles for Adult Basic Education Reading Instruction . The Partnership, an initiative of the National Institute for Literacy, the U.S. Department of Pedagogy, the National Institute of Child Wellness and Human Development, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, disseminates scientifically based reading research to inform reading instruction from birth through adulthood. This publication adds to a growing trunk of materials, begun with the release of Put Reading First: The Inquiry Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read , that summarize the research and brand connections to reading instruction in formal and informal learning environments.
This book represents the work of The Reading Research Working Grouping, a panel of experts on reading research and practice convened past the Institute and the National Center for the Written report of Adult Learning and Literacy to identify and evaluate existing inquiry in developed literacy reading didactics and provide a summary of scientifically based principles and practices. This work was like to that done by the National Reading Console whose findings, published in Report of the National Reading Console: Educational activity Children to Read , have refocused how reading teaching is conducted from kindergarten to grade 3.
This publication represents the best data available about how adults larn to read. It is designed to serve two chief audiences: educators and policy makers who make decisions most the content of adult basic education reading instruction and researchers eager to identify new avenues of report to add to our understanding of this field. The Partnership invites readers to use this rich drove of findings to inform their work with adults.
Executive Summary
The Reading Research Working Grouping (RRWG), a console of experts on adult reading research and practice, was established past the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) in collaboration with the National Eye for the Report of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL). Information technology is part of the Institute's efforts to provide educators, parents, and others with access to scientifically based reading inquiry, including research-based tools for improving literacy programs and policies for children, youth, and adults, through the Partnership for Reading.
The purpose of the RRWG was to identify and evaluate existing research related to adult literacy reading educational activity in social club to provide the field with research-based products including principles and practices for practitioners. This certificate presents findings from an analysis of the adult basic education (ABE) reading pedagogy research base and is designed as a resource for practitioners and reading researchers. It focuses on principles that can be derived from the research and a research agenda for the future.
For the purposes of the RRWG, "developed reading instruction research" is defined every bit research related to reading instruction for low-literate adults, aged 16 and older, who are no longer being served in secondary teaching programs. This includes depression-literate adults in community-based literacy centers, family literacy programs, prison house literacy programs, workplace literacy programs, and two-year colleges. It includes research related to all depression-literate adults in these settings, including adults in ASE (Adult Secondary Education) programs, ESOL (English language for Speakers of Other Languages) programs, and adults with a learning or reading disability.
Evaluating the Research
Two recent reports were influential in guiding the work of the RRWG: Preventing Reading Difficulties in Immature Children from the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences and Report of the National Reading Panel: Teaching Children to Read . The guidelines used for selecting and evaluating ABE reading education research are based on those developed past the National Reading Panel (NRP) in their review of inquiry related to reading education with children (National Reading Panel, 2000a). For the NRP review, major topics for study were established, studies were located through a literature search, and studies were evaluated using a fix of "testify-based methodological standards."
The RRWG fabricated several modifications to the approach used by the NRP . Important modifications included the addition of topics especially important to adult reading professionals, the inclusion of studies related to the cess of reading ability, and the inclusion of non-experimental studies besides equally those involving the use of command groups.
Like the NRP, the major topics selected for study by the RRWG are those components of reading found by the National Research Quango and others to be crucial during reading pedagogy: alphabetics (phonemic awareness and give-and-take analysis), fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. The ultimate goal in reading is comprehension . Readers read a text in club to empathise and utilize the ideas and information independent in it. Comprehension is improved when readers understand the key concepts or vocabulary in a text. Reading comprehension may endure, nevertheless, when readers are unable to recognize individual words in a text. A reader may be conceptually set up to understand a text, for example, but will not have the opportunity to do and then if he or she cannot read the individual words. To read individual words, the reader must know how the letters in our alphabet are used to stand for spoken words ( alphabetics ). This includes knowing how words are made up of smaller sounds ( phonemic sensation ), and how letters and combinations of messages are used to correspond these sounds ( phonics and word assay ). The power to figure out how to read individual words, even so, is not sufficient. Readers must as well be able to apace recognize strings of words every bit they read phrases, sentences and longer text. Fluent reading is crucial to adequate comprehension.
Constructive reading and reading instruction cannot occur without sufficient motivation. Motivation is ane of the additional topics selected past the RRWG for study, along with others that are especially important for developed reading instruction: calculator technology, reading assessment, programme goals and setting (family literacy, workplace literacy, and general functional literacy), instructional methods (strategies, material, teacher preparation, and the intensity and duration of instruction), and specific characteristics of learners that touch instruction (reading level, whether English is their first language, the existence of a learning disability, and motivation).
Use of Thousand-12 Research
One task for the RRWG was to identify gaps in the ABE reading research and to consider how these gaps might be addressed. What research is needed and, of more firsthand business organisation, where should the ABE instructor wait for suggestions on the all-time means to teach reading to ABE learners when the ABE research has not yet addressed a topic? One strong recommendation from the RRWG was to look to the NRP results for K-12 (elementary and secondary school) students, selecting those approaches to reading instruction that were likely to work with adult learners. To practice this, the RRWG established criteria for evaluating the application of Thousand-12 reading inquiry to adult reading instruction. These criteria have into account the existing ABE research, the important differences between children and adults, and the strengths and weaknesses of K-12 enquiry in each of the topic areas. NRP findings were used to help fill gaps in the ABE reading instruction research, to provide support when K-12 and ABE research were compatible, or to betoken circumspection when they were contradictory.
A Brief Summary of Findings from the Research Review
Virtually of the principles derived from the ABE reading instruction research are "emerging principles" because they are based on a relatively small body of experimental research. At that place is much more research focusing on children, equally demonstrated in the report of the National Reading Panel. The small size of the ABE reading teaching research base precludes establishing more than than just a few principles based solidly on big numbers of research studies that accept been replicated. Some of the topic areas reviewed contain no or very few research studies. This does not necessarily suggest that the quality of ABE reading pedagogy research is poorer than K-12 reading instruction research or other bodies of research, only that in that location is less of it.
Approximately 70 qualifying research studies were identified in the literature search based on the criteria used. From the results reported in these studies, eighteen emerging inquiry-based principles and related practices for ABE reading educational activity were identified, forth with 30-two additional trends in the ABE research. Twenty-two specific ideas that might be used to supplement the ABE research were derived from the K-12 enquiry. Emerging principles were based on findings from at least ii experimental studies (including quasi-experimental studies) and any number of non-experimental studies. Findings based on fewer than two experimental studies were labeled trends rather than principles.
Findings from the adult reading instruction research show that adults tin have difficulties with whatsoever of the crucial aspects of reading: alphabetics (phonemic awareness and discussion analysis), fluency, vocabulary, or comprehension. It is important to assess developed students' abilities in each of these areas in club to identify what they already know as well as what they demand to piece of work on during instruction. Assessment for instructional purposes is ane the offset tasks a teacher performs. One emerging principle in the ABE enquiry suggests that assessing each component of reading in order to generate profiles of students' reading ability gives teachers much more than instructionally relevant information than any test of a unmarried component can.
Some of the strongest ABE reading educational activity research has to do with the cess of adults' phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness among developed not-readers is well-nigh not-existent and is only a picayune better among adult beginning readers. Adult get-go readers also take poor phonics or discussion analysis knowledge. Their sight discussion knowledge (the ability to recognize words on sight without having to audio them out) may initially exist better than expected. Enquiry evidence indicates that adults can be taught word analysis skills within ABE programs and, though the evidence is not as strong, that not-disabled readers can be taught phonemic awareness. Trends in the research suggest that phonemic awareness does not develop every bit easily among adults with a reading inability.
Educational activity alphabetics leads to improved achievement in other aspects of reading. This emerging principle in the developed enquiry is supported past research conducted with children. Research at the K-12 level, different ABE inquiry, has identified specific practices that can be used to teach alphabetics. Many of these M-12 practices address topics that are specially important for ABE learners. No enquiry was constitute related to the alphabetics ability of learners in ESOL developed basic teaching programs (programs that teach English to speakers of other languages).
In that location is very little inquiry that reports results from the assessment of ABE students' fluency and vocabulary. We practice know that young adults with poor fluency have an average silent reading rate that is much slower than that of normal readers. Emerging principles in the ABE research indicate that fluency can be taught to adults who authorize for ABE programs, that didactics fluency leads to increases in reading achievement, and that ane specific technique can be used to aid adults develop their reading fluency. This technique, repeated readings of a text, is besides supported by a much larger body of research with children.
The i trend related to the assessment of ABE readers' vocabulary suggests that their vocabulary noesis is dependent on reading ability. Although, equally might be expected, their life experience can give them an advantage as they brainstorm to learn to read (their vocabulary cognition is much improve than their knowledge of alphabetics), this advantage may disappear at higher reading levels. An important trend from the didactics research, supported by inquiry with children, is that contexts that are more interesting or engaging, such as workplace or family unit contexts for adults, may be especially useful for vocabulary educational activity.
Reading comprehension is the ultimate goal for reading. A large-scale national survey of adult literacy provides information almost adults' reading comprehension that is more reliable than the information nosotros have nigh their fluency and vocabulary. Results from this survey indicate that about ABE learners have difficulty integrating and synthesizing information from any merely the simplest texts. Although it is likely that poor phonemic awareness, give-and-take analysis, fluency, and vocabulary contribute to poor reading comprehension, information technology is also likely that most ABE adults will need to be taught specific comprehension strategies. Those adults with a learning inability and those whose first language is not English are especially at take a chance. Although there are more principles and trends related to ABE reading comprehension didactics than for alphabetics, fluency, or vocabulary instruction, the inquiry does not address issues related to these adults.
Three important emerging principles from the ABE reading research advise that participation in an ABE plan tin can atomic number 82 to increased reading comprehension achievement, that explicit instruction in reading comprehension strategies is effective, and that teaching comprehension along with didactics in other components of reading is also an effective way to improve reading comprehension. The effectiveness of reading comprehension strategy instruction is supported by extensive research with children. In addition, K-12 inquiry has identified eight specific strategies that may exist of use to adult educators and also finds that pedagogy in other aspects of reading can lead to improved comprehension.
Trends in the ABE reading comprehension research also address several issues that are important to developed literacy students and teachers. Although more inquiry is needed, these trends suggest that comprehension can exist improved in nearly ABE settings, including workplace and family literacy settings; use of adult-oriented content material is an effective way to help improve comprehension; and, dealing briefly only directly with issues related to motivation and how adults feel about their reading can have a positive effect.
In general, the review of ABE reading didactics enquiry constitute that much more research is needed in almost all of the topic areas addressed. Of the existing research, assessment research is the strongest. Emerging principles advise that reading can improve in ABE settings, that direct or explicit instruction in various components is effective, and that computer-assisted educational activity can ameliorate accomplishment in some aspects of reading. Basic data about the reading ability of ABE learners is known and fairly sophisticated methods for obtaining assessment information and using it for pedagogy accept been developed. Much more information is needed about ESOL learners and adults with reading disabilities. More than information almost specific teaching strategies is also needed. With the exception of fluency, specific educational activity strategies validated by the research are just offset to sally. Also beginning to emerge are findings of special significance for adult educators related to developed-oriented settings and contexts, and issues of motivation and the feelings that issue from continued failure in learning to read.
While 1000-12 research does not accost these more adult-oriented bug with the same urgency, the much larger body of reading instruction research conducted with children is uniform with the ABE reading instruction research, offering both support for many ABE findings and specific suggestions for instruction in areas where the ABE research is thin.
Chapter 1
Introduction
The Reading Research Working Group (RRWG) was formed to identify and evaluate existing research related to adult literacy reading instruction in order to provide the field with inquiry-based products, including principles and practices for researchers and professionals. This report presents results from an assay of the developed basic didactics (ABE) reading instruction research base of operations, focusing on principles that tin can be derived from the research and a enquiry calendar for the future. Practices based on these principles are presented at the Partnership for Reading web site, www.nifl.gov/partnershipforreading.
The RRWG is sponsored by the National Establish for Literacy (NIFL) in collaboration with the National Centre for the Written report of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL). It is part of the Institute'southward efforts to provide educators, parents, and others with access to scientifically based reading enquiry, including research-based tools for improving literacy programs and policies for children, youth, and adults, through the Partnership for Reading (encounter the Appendix for a description of the Partnership). A master goal for developing the principles is to provide those in family literacy programs and other ABE settings with research-based methods for facilitating the intergenerational transfer of literacy by improving the literacy abilities of adults.
The RRWG is a panel of experts in the field of developed literacy research established by NIFL and NCSALL in order to:
- Place research related to adult reading instruction in the field of adult literacy that is "scientifically based" as defined in the Reading Excellence Act. (Definitions from the REA are provided in the Appendix.)
- Prioritize the research in terms of its relevance and importance for literacy pedagogy at the adult level
- Identify gaps in the research
- Come to a consensus on a list of research-based principles and practices for adult literacy reading instruction that tin then be disseminated to developed literacy practitioners
- Place the best ways to disseminate the research-based principles and practices.
For the purposes of the RRWG, "adult reading educational activity inquiry" is defined as research related to reading instruction for low-literate adults, aged sixteen and older, who are no longer beingness served in secondary education programs. This includes depression-literate adults in customs-based literacy centers, family literacy programs, prison literacy programs, workplace literacy programs, and two-twelvemonth colleges. Information technology includes research related to all depression-literate adults in these settings, including adults in ASE (Adult Secondary Education) programs, ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programs, and adults with learning or reading disabilities.
4 meetings of the RRWG were held to develop and review typhoon principles and practices.
Major steps in the process used to develop the research-based principles were:
- A meeting of a RRWG planning committee. Criteria for selecting inquiry studies were developed, based on definitions provided in the Reading Excellence Human activity and other related documents (see the Appendix). This committee also developed a preliminary list of enquiry topics, existing research strands, and specific research articles. It explored ways in which the research might be organized, suggested formats for principles and practices derived from the research, and suggested methods for the dissemination of principles and practices.
- Preparation of a draft prepare of principles.
- A coming together of a RRWG researchers committee. This committee used the typhoon set of principles to review and prioritize relevant research, develop a comprehensive list of principles and practices based on the research, and suggest methods for dissemination.
- Revision of the draft set of principles.
- A meeting of a RRWG practitioners committee. This committee used the draft set up of principles to review the principles and practices and to advise best formats and venues for the broadcasting of the principles and practices.
- Training of a separate document for ABE professionals.
- A meeting of a small RRWG practitioner-researcher commission. This commission of experts, each of whom is involved in both enquiry and practice, met to review and revise the draft professional's certificate.
- Concluding revisions of a researcher document and a practitioner document and preparation of one document for dissemination.
How This Report Is Organized
The second section of this report, following the Introduction, presents the methods used to select and evaluate inquiry related to Adult Bones Education (ABE) reading didactics. The methods used in this review place a premium on experimental research studies. Ideally, these studies objectively compare groups of learners receiving different forms of reading instruction and use statistical procedures to aid decide how likely it is that i approach is significantly different from some other. These studies are designed to increase our confidence in cartoon conclusions nearly the effectiveness of a particular approach to instruction. This review uses non-experimental reading education enquiry to support principles or trends based on experimental studies and to annotation promising directions that ABE reading instruction enquiry may be taking.
The third section contains a list of findings from the research: the principles, trends, ideas, and comments that appear in the major sections of the written report. This list of principles, trends, ideas, and comments serves as an index to the ABE and K-12 reading pedagogy research findings presented in the main sections of the report.
Principles | Principles are the strongest statements made about ABE reading instruction in this review and are based on findings from 2 or more experimental studies and any number of not-experimental studies. |
Trends | Trends are based on fewer than ii experimental studies. |
Ideas | Ideas for ABE reading instruction are based on a thorough review of reading instruction research at the K-12 level (National Reading Panel, 2000a, 2000b) and help to fill up the gaps in the ABE reading educational activity research base of operations. |
Comments | Comments are weaker, less conclusive findings from the K-12 enquiry. |
Most of the principles derived from the ABE reading instruction research might be considered "emerging principles" because they are based on a relatively small trunk of experimental research. There is much more reading instruction inquiry focusing on the K-12 level, both experimental and non-experimental, every bit demonstrated in the report of the National Reading Console (NRP) (2000a, 2000b). The small size of the ABE reading instruction research base precludes establishing more than only a few principles based solidly on large numbers of inquiry studies that have been replicated. Some of the topic areas reviewed comprise no or very few research studies. This does non necessarily suggest that the quality of ABE reading education research is poorer than M-12 reading instruction enquiry or other bodies of research, merely that there is less of it. The relative quality of the ABE experimental research base is the subject for another review, one that looks at the relative ratio of experimental to not-experimental studies in diverse fields, for case, or that analyzes the relative quality of methods used.
The main sections of the report focus on the major aspects of reading instruction: assessing students in society to describe their reading "profiles" or overall reading ability, alphabetics instruction, fluency instruction, vocabulary teaching, and reading comprehension pedagogy. Computer applied science as well forms a department. Assessment of student strengths and needs in reading is presented beginning because it is one of a teacher'southward offset tasks. Sections on the major components brainstorm with alphabetics and end with comprehension. This corresponds to the move from smaller units of education to larger ones, and also from those aspects of the reading process that are considered "enabling" (alphabetics and fluency) to those that are considered the ultimate goal in reading (vocabulary and comprehension) (Snow, Burns, & Girffin, 1998; NRP, 2000a).
Although each component is covered in a carve up section of the report, this does non mean that they should be taught separately. In fact, research suggests they need to exist taught together for instruction to be truly effective (Snowfall et al., 1998; NRP, 2000a). Although research may attempt to isolate constructive instructional approaches or aspects of constructive educational activity, this does non imply that merely one approach should be used or that educational activity should focus on only i aspect of reading.
Each of the main sections of the report presents (a) a description of the major aspect of reading covered in a section, including a definition and rationale and, when appropriate, how a reading component is assessed, (b) major questions related to ABE reading teaching associated with specific topics of interest to ABE practitioners, (c) answers to these questions in the class of emerging principles or trends when the questions have been addressed past the research, (d) a curt summary of the research related to each principle or trend, and (due east) ideas (and comments) for ABE reading instruction derived from M-12 reading instruction enquiry.
Subtopics important to ABE reading instruction, identified by the RRWG, are listed in the left cavalcade in the following tabular array. These form subsections in the written report. All subsections are shaded in the table.
Report Organisation
The final section of the report summarizes some of the more important findings and presents an agenda for future research based on these findings.
This review attempts to maintain a shut link between the ABE reading instruction inquiry base and the principles and practices that are derived from information technology. The statement of each principle or tendency in the main sections includes citations that refer to relevant research studies. Studies that support a principle or trend are cited too as those that may not. Citations for instructional studies with relevant experimental results, as defined in the methods section, are underlined, while citations for instructional studies with not-experimental results are not. Assessment studies, those studies that describe ABE learners' reading, are underlined if they utilise sound inferential statistical procedures, as described in the Methods section. Assessment studies that have snapshots of learners' reading abilities practise non necessarily compare groups over fourth dimension and therefore might not utilise an experimental design.
Some studies are cited more than once. These studies deal with more one issue and are used to support more than than one principle or trend. Because a study may take both experimental and not-experimental results, it is possible that its commendation will exist underlined in one instance (when its experimental results support a principle) and not in some other (when its non-experimental results are used in support of a principle).
Use of One thousand-12 Enquiry
One task for the ABE Reading Research Working Group is to place gaps in the ABE reading research and how these gaps might exist addressed. Where should the ABE instructor wait for suggestions on the best means to teach reading to ABE learners when the ABE research has not nevertheless addressed a topic? The National Reading Panel (NRP) has summarized reading teaching inquiry results at the K-12 level (National Reading Panel, 2000a). One strong recommendation from the RRWG is to look to the NRP results for K-12 students, selecting for consideration those approaches to reading instruction that might also work with the ABE learner.
The findings or conclusions related to reading educational activity from the NRP are used in this study in several different ways: (one) to provide support for tentative conclusions related to ABE reading education (when the findings from the NRP and those for adults are uniform); (ii) to signal caution when the findings are non compatible; and, (3) to assistance "fill in gaps" in the ABE reading instruction principles where no or very few research-based results are available. The guidelines used in selecting Chiliad-12 instructional practices that might be used with adults are presented in the Methods section.
Applying inquiry from the K-12 level to adults is largely speculative, especially in areas where there is little existing ABE research. Still, a convincing statement can be made for the use of Thousand-12 results with adults when no enquiry-based practices exist at the adult level. Until there is a larger body of ABE research, ABE instructional practices must move ahead without being informed by ABE research. Those practices based on a strong, carefully synthesized Grand-12 research base may provide the best source of promising ideas for instruction with adults. It should be remembered, however, that ABE is dissimilar from K-12 teaching in ways that have the potential to affect reading instruction outcomes: adults are older; ABE is not mandatory and adult attendance may not exist as consequent; adults cannot spend hours each week on reading instruction, as do children; adults and children may bring different strengths and weaknesses to reading instruction; and, adults have different interests so that approaches that appeal to children may not appeal to adults.
