Study Notes

Comprehensive Reading and Spelling Program (CRSP)

CRSP is a program focused on improving reading and spelling skills
Aims to support students with various skill levels, including those needing extra support
Includes structured, evidence-based methods for improving comprehension, spelling accuracy, and language proficiency

Assessment (Evaluation)

Purpose: Identifies student strengths and weaknesses in reading and spelling
Uses formative assessments (e.g., weekly spelling tests, reading fluency) and summative assessments (e.g., end-of-unit tests)
Adaptations: May include audio support, extended time, or simplified instructions
Collaboration: General education teachers share insights, caregivers provide feedback
Ensures modifications are effective and adjusts based on student progress

Record Keeping (Progress Monitoring)

Purpose: Tracks student progress over time
Enables identification of patterns, improvements, and areas needing intervention
Adaptations: Can use digital record-keeping systems or color-coded progress charts
Might involve additional documentation for IEPs
Collaboration: Ensures consistent support across settings (classroom and home)

Adaptations

Purpose: Ensures alignment between CRSP and student learning needs for accessibility
Instructional Adaptations: Breaking down reading tasks, multisensory techniques (e.g., tracing letters)
Environmental Adaptations: Reducing distractions, providing quiet spaces
Material Adaptations: Audiobooks, large print materials, digital tools
Collaboration: Implementation within the classroom and support at home ensures consistency

Collaboration with General Education Teachers and Caregivers

Purpose: Ensures adaptations, assessments, and record-keeping are consistent across educational and home settings
Methods: Regular meetings, training and resources for educators and caregivers, feedback loops

Key Components of CRSP

Structured literacy approach: Systematic and explicit breakdown of reading and spelling into components (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension.)
Each skill is taught sequentially and cumulatively
Phonemic Awareness and Phonics: Understanding sounds in words and connecting sounds to letters (critical for decoding words in reading and writing)
Multisensory Techniques: Engages multiple senses to aid understanding and retention
Direct, Explicit Instruction: Clear explanations and modeling of concepts
Frequent Assessment and Progress Monitoring: Tracks student progress to identify areas of strength and weakness
Enables adapting instruction and providing additional support
Adaptations and Interventions: Accessible to all learners; interventions might be based on individual needs.
