There was 100 % agreement on coding of coaching for word recognition during
reading, 94 % agreement on providing explicit phonics
instruction, 94 % agreement on practicing sight words, 96 % agreement on asking text - based questions, 96 % agreement on asking higher level questions,
and 100 % agreement on
writing in response to
reading.
For example, if a 15 - minute interval was coded as whole - group phonics
instruction, independent
reading,
and writing in response to
reading, we coded each activity as occurring for a child for 5 minutes.
Thus we decided to create one large category labeled
reading instruction (which included teacher - directed
reading of narrative
and expository text;
instruction in phonics, vocabulary,
and comprehension;
and literature circles); the other original categories — independent
reading,
writing in response to
reading, other
written composition, spelling,
reading aloud to students — remained intact.

and assessments result

For comprehension
instruction, eight different instructional practices were observed
and coded: doing a picture walk; asking for a prediction; asking a text - based question; asking a higher level, aesthetic response question; asking children to
write in response to
reading (including
writing answers to questions about what they had
read); doing a story map; asking children to retell a story;
and working on a comprehension skill or strategy.
Explicit phonics
instruction included work on a chart, whiteboard, worksheet, or word cards dealing with word study; word families; introducing or comparing phonic elements (i.e., er, ir,
and ur all have the same sound); making words (Cunningham & Cunningham, 1992);
writing words;
and reading words with a particular phonic element
in isolation.
Additionally,
in grades 1 — 3, frequently observed approaches to comprehension
instruction included asking literal - level oral questions after
reading; asking higher level, oral questions after
reading;
and having students
write in response to what they had
read.
Activities included: whole - group, small - group, or independent grouping pattern on the following activities:
reading instruction (including teacher directed
reading, word recognition, comprehension, vocabulary
instruction, or literature circle); independent
reading;
writing in response to
reading;
reading aloud to students;
written composition; spelling;
and other academic activities
In other words, we selected each of the activities summed over settings, each of the settings summed over activities, and a composite variable for total reading emphasis, which is the sum of the totals of columns 1 - 3 (reading instruction, independent reading, and writing in response to reading
In other words, we selected each of the activities summed over settings, each of the settings summed over activities,

writing because, as we noted previously,
writing process
and direct assessment of
