Abstract: A method and system for identifying a set of students who have encountered reading difficulty and are performing below grade level and intervening to prevent illiteracy and achieving grade-level literacy of struggling students. Standardized oral fluency assessments are administered for a predetermined set of at least one student in a database in a computer system. Results from the standardized oral fluency assessments are recorded for each student of the predetermined set in a database in a computer system. A standardized predictive measure of literacy is calculated on the computer system for each student, wherein the standardized predictive measure of literacy is a composite of the results stored in the database for each student. Struggling members of the predetermined set are identified based on each standardized predictive measure of literacy. An individual report for each struggling member is presented on a visual medium in communication with the computer system.

Abstract: A method and system for preventing illiteracy and achieving grade-level literacy in substantially all members of a predetermined set of students is disclosed, including the steps of administering standardized oral fluency measures, recording the test results in a database, calculating a standardized predictive measure of literacy for each student, presenting a report for each student including recommendations of curriculum and instruction time, determining a schedule for each student for repeating the steps of the method during the school year. Aggregate reports show a summary of progress for all the students or for a subset of the students. Teachers are surveyed for information regarding their activities in implementing the method. Supervisors are also surveyed for information regarding their supervisory activities. Reports are prepared from the information collected on such teacher and supervisor surveys. Data entry screens and reports may be provided to teachers and supervisors over the Internet.
