TARGET GROUP: Reading Grade Level Pre-Primer

Reading Milestones is the most popular reading program of its kind. This successful alternative, language-controlled program is designed to take readers to approximately a fifth grade reading level. It is especially effective for students with hearing impairments and language delays and is also widely used with others who have special language and reading needs, including individuals with learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, and English Language Learners (ELL). These students are aided by reading materials designed to match their language levels and which progress in steps small enough to ensure continued success in reading. Success from the beginning of the learning-to-read experience motivates students to read and to continue learning. Reading Milestones accommodates the needs of such learners and has been developed to maximize their opportunities for success.

Features

The following features help ensure that students from many different populations can begin their reading experiences successfully:

adjusted language level
controlled vocabulary
controlled syntax
chunking (i.e., grouping of words by sentence constituentsùnoun phrase, verb phrase, etc.)
repetition

The National Reading Panel Components
This fourth edition of Reading Milestones includes instructional and reinforcement tasks that focus on developing phonemic awareness and phonics in a language context in the Workbook activities, the Spelling program, and the Teacher’s Guide.

The NRP reported that repeated oral reading with feedback and guidance and well-developed word recognition skills lead to improvements in reading fluency. Repeated reading, although not necessarily oral, is a part of almost every lesson plan in the Teacher’s Guide. Extensive work on developing automaticity of vocabulary and sight words is presented in the Reading Milestones materials to develop fluency.

Extensive work on the development of vocabulary concepts is part of every reading unit. Experiential activities and schema-based strategies are strongly recommended for the development of concepts in young beginning readers.

Text comprehension receives major emphasis in the Reading Milestones program with activities reinforcing research-based comprehension strategies such as prediction, question–answer relationships, monitoring, and summarizing.

Included in the Package: Teacher’s Guide; a boxed set of 10 Readers; Reproducible Materials Flash Drive containing reproducible PDFs of Workbook activities, Spelling, and Word Cards; and a 10-pack of Student Achievement Records, all in a sturdy storage box.
