Reading Milestones-Fourth Edition, Level 1 (Red)

Reading Milestones-Fourth Edition, Level 1 (Red) | Pro-Ed Inc

Description

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 
  • repetition

What's New in the Fourth Edition: The core content of the program remains the same and now includes many improvements. These include:

  • Reading Milestones Placement and Monitoring (RMPM) – Separately available, this informal test places students in the correct level of Reading Milestones and monitors their progress through the program.
  • New Look – Many new illustrations have been added to the stories included in the Readers for all levels.
  • Teacher's Guide – The Teacher's Guide has been revised to include extensive information on recent research and best practices in reading. Strategies for teaching have been expanded and reformatted for clarity. Several useful appendixes have been added.
  • Additional Stories – Many new stories have been included with increased multicultural representation and full-color illustrations. The number of stories in each Reader was increased for a total of 6 stories per book and 60 stories for each level.
  • Story Structure – Many stories were rewritten to include more definite story structure. Knowledge of story structure helps students focus on the components and aids in comprehension.
  • Story Page Layout –All sentences are complete on one page or on opposing pages to aid the student in developing fluency.
  • Workbook Activities – All workbook activities are now provided as reproducible worksheets that can be printed from the Reading Milestones Reproducible Materials Flash Drive (included in the complete package). A boxed, printed version of black line masters is also available separately.
  • Spelling – The Spelling program has been improved to develop phonological awareness skills, sound‚ spelling correspondence, provide additional practice in word recognition to attain automaticity, and improve accuracy in word spelling that will contribute to writing fluency. All Spelling activities are now provided as reproducible worksheets that can be printed from the Reading Milestones Reproducible Materials Flash Drive (included in the complete package). A boxed, printed version of black line masters is also available separately.
  • Student Achievement Record (SAR) – used to record the student's completion of each of the stories and activities in the workbook and spelling materials across a level of the program. Space is provided for comments regarding progress and recommendations. 10pack of SARs included in the complete package.
  • Word Cards – Vocabulary words taught in the program are displayed in two formats: as reproducible PDFs on the Reading Milestones Reproducible Materials Flash Drive and as boxed, printed cards available separately. The cards are grouped and alphabetized by corresponding reader and numbered accordingly. Students can use the cards for practice in the Spelling and other lesson activities, in group games, and as flash cards in individual or group review.
