Sopris Learning Launches eSolution: Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension
Program is the all-new expanded and updated The Six-Minute Solution: A Reading Fluency Program
LONGMONT, Colo., Jan. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sopris Learning, a provider of research-based assessments, supplemental and intervention materials, positive behavior interventions and supports, and professional development offerings, announces the launch of eSolution: Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. Coauthored by literacy experts Gail Adams, M.Ed., and Susan Van Zant, Ed.D., eSolution is a supplemental resource that updates and extends The Six-Minute Solution paired reading to include complete vocabulary expansion and comprehension lessons.
eSolution provides a motivating, digital approach to learning and combines fluency practice with vocabulary and comprehension strategies to create powerful instruction in the foundational skills essential for successful reading development.
Students read a passage online and respond to vocabulary and comprehension questions online. The content and format of the questions are based on the requirements in the Common Core State Standards and have been built around specific requirements on state tests.
By engaging students with content-rich informational text, eSolution improves their ability to apply vocabulary and comprehension strategies to content-area texts--ensuring that they read not only quickly, but also for meaning. This, in turn, prepares students to perform well on rigorous reading assessments.
"eSolution was designed to enhance the six-minute partner fluency model with strategic comprehension and vocabulary instruction," said Gail Adams, coauthor of eSolution. "The program provides students with practice opportunities for answering a variety of comprehension questions as well as expanding their word consciousness, thus ensuring that they read not only accurately and quickly, but with deep understanding."
Key benefits of eSolution include:
-- More than 150 engaging informational passages at six different reading
levels (readability: grades 1-6; interest: grades 3-8)
-- Effective for students at benchmark (supplemental) or as an intervention
-- Aligns to the Common Core State Standards
-- Ongoing fluency practice to build speed, accuracy, and reader confidence
-- Explicit instruction in comprehension strategies to promote deep reading
-- Proven methods for developing vocabulary
-- Online component motivates students and gives teachers valuable data
-- Online data management helps track student progress at the classroom and
individual levels
Effective as a supplement to any core reading curriculum, eSolution provides flexible implementation options for differentiating instruction to meet the diverse needs of students. It builds a bank of vocabulary and comprehension strategies for success on assessments and across all content areas.
