Introduction to the Science of Reading, Capti Assess, and ETS ReadBasix is the crucial first step for educators to implement the ReadBasix assessment and gain valuable insights into students’ foundational reading skills (word recognition and decoding, vocabulary, morphology, sentence processing, and reading efficiency). Educators learn the basis of the Science of Reading framework, including how reading has evolved through human history, how it has exponentially changed over the past 30 years, and the latest neuroscience research that explains reading at a cognitive level. The session presents the research behind ReadBasix and reviews the foundational reading skills tested on the assessment. Then, each skill is explored to explain its role in the development of reading proficiency and the importance of assessing each skill to help inform instruction. Finally, educators learn how to set up and administer the ReadBasix assessment, as well as effectively prepare learners to complete each subtest.
As a result of this course, educators will:
The recommended length for this centrally delivered course is 3 hours. Computer and web access are required. This session is delivered via a Zoom webinar room. The session has a lecture format with participant engagement through discussions, polls, hands-on activities, and a live Q&A. Computer and web access are required. Educators are expected to login to go through sample assessment items to better understand the assessment and how students will experience it.
Learning how to Analyze Data to Create Instructional Plans is critical to successful implementation of the ReadBasix assessment and improving student outcomes. In this PD session, presenters provide a comprehensive overview of the ReadBasix assessment reports and have educators practice navigating the reports. Presenters detail how to unpack assessment results by identifying reading skills that are strengths and those that require additional instruction. Then, presenters guide educators through a series of case studies to give educators an opportunity to practice the data analysis process. Finally, presenters model the process of creating instructional plans and have educators create their own instructional plans based on recommended interventions.
