want to pose a question to the literacy professionals on the list that needs
some background information first. In the past, when a student came into
our center needing decoding skills, and their comprehension skills were
good, I'd place them in a basic word study class using, for example, the Wilson
Reading System. Even if a student's reading ability was at an upper
intermediate level, I'd start her on 1.3 in Wilson or at the beginning (if her
comprehension was excellent and her main issue was picking apart unknown
words/spelling). This has worked very well for my program. Students
have been happy with their placement. However, now we find ourselves in a
position where we need to show quick gains on the TABE. We need a 2 grade
level jump ASAP to get some funding. What is your advice for materials to
use for students who read between 2nd grade and a 5th grade level?
Would you still start them at Wilson 1.3 or at the beginning? My problem
is adults have what I call "swiss cheese gaps". They have some
skills and not other foundational knowledge. Every student's prior
knowledge is different. I feel like I "spin my wheels" just
trying to find out where the gaps are. However, I don't have time to
waste starting everyone from basically the beginning if that's not the best
plan.<br>

Thank you,<br>
