Abstract of Program /Activity Abstract, not to exceed 300 words, indicating the program/activities to be undertaken with grant funds and a timeline for such program/activities. Please refer to "Guidelines for Required Sections" in the CEDC Grant Application Overview for further details on completing this section. Riverchase Elementary opened in August 2000 with a modest number of books in the school media center and guided reading library. The school's population has increased by over 200 students in three years while district funds and school budgets have decreased due to state funding issues. The purpose of this grant is to increase the amount of printed reading material that is available to the students of Riverchase. Research shows that the more you read, the better reader you become. By increasing the number of books children have the opportunity to read, students' levels of reading ability should also increase. This grant, therefore, directly addresses the area of literacy. Books in the media center are available for students to check out for classroom research and/or pleasure reading. Students may come to the media center with their class or individually during the day or before or after school. The guided reading library is a staff resource. It contains leveled books which are selected daily for instruction with individual students based on their current needs. These books are individually selected to send home with students on a daily or weekly basis to provide additional opportunities for reading. These are often the only books available to many students in their homes. This request is for a total of $50,000. Thirty thousand dollars of this sum will be designated for the guided reading library. Twenty thousand dollars will be designated for the school's main media center. The librarian, Reading Recovery teacher, and classroom teachers would collaborate upon a list of titles /levels of books to be added to our general circulation library as well as the guided reading library. 2 II. Description of Proposal & Nature of Request Description of the purpose of and the educational need and importance for the proposed program/activities, including the relevance to one or more of the three approved funding areas: literacy, foreign language, and/or career technology for a skilled workforce. Your mother always told you, "Practice makes perfect." It is common sense that rehearsal, repetition, and practice improve skills. Reading is no exception and research backs up these statements. Children learn to read by reading and to become powerful readers, children need exposure to many books and many words. Quantity counts. (Anderson, Hiebert, Scott, & Wilkinson, 1985) The amount of out -of- school reading is also important and consistently relates to gains in reading achievement. (Anderson, Wilson, & Fielding, 1988) When all out -of- school activities were analyzed, the number of minutes per day a child spent reading was the best predictor of a student's reading comprehension and vocabulary. Other studies confirm that independent reading correlates highly with reading growth. (Taylor, Frye, & Maruyama, 1990) To further underscore the value of well stocked and up -to -date general circulation libraries, a study in Colorado demonstrated how school librarians help students reach higher academic achievement standards. This second Colorado public school study found that well staffed, well stocked, and well funded library media programs are an essential component of successful schools. (Lance, 2000) Each year the Carrollton- Farmers Branch ISD publishes figures on the number of volumes in each school library as well as the age of each collection. Last fall (the most current data available), Riverchase had 5,993 copies of books. Twenty -three percent of these were older than 1990. Public school libraries operate under Texas Education Agency guidelines which list the minimum number of 15 volumes per student in order to maintain an `Acceptable' rating. To achieve a `Recognized' rating, 18 volumes per 3 student must be available. (See Appendix A.) For the 2003 -04 school year, district projections show that Riverchase will serve 500 students in grades K -5. At the minimum rate of 15 volumes per student, this translates into 7,500 books. If the higher, 18 book standard were established, then 9,000 books would be needed. Both of these figures fall far short of the current 5,993. The guided reading library currently houses approximately 5,300 volumes. While this sounds like a large number, over 1,700 would be checked out school -wide at any one time. In good reading instruction, a classroom teacher in grades K -2 would use 2 -3 leveled books per student weekly. In addition, the same student would have 3 -5 leveled books in a take -home bag to keep for the evening or week to use for reinforcement of taught skills. This would mean each student should have access to 5 -8 books weekly in the lower grades. The number for middle and upper grade students would be fewer because their instructional books tend to be longer, but two per student (one for classroom instruction, one for home) would be a minimum. (See Appendix B for a brief description of guided reading instruction.) This would give the following total number of books in use weekly: Number of students in grades K -2 260 Number of books for students in grades K - 2 1,300 Number of students in grades 3 - 5 240 Number of books for students in grades 3 -5 480 Total number of books checked out weekly K -5 1,780 Teachers return read selections on a weekly basis and need new titles to select from. A variety of titles at each level is necessary so students have reinforcement at that level in 4 order to progress. Therefore, teachers need new titles for each week during the school year, or, 35 times the number checked out each week. Because some teachers would be returning titles that could then be checked out by someone else, the ideal number of volumes would be between 20 and 30 times the 1,780 checked out weekly. This would make the eventual goal of the guided reading library to be between 35,600 and 53,400 volumes. While this grant will not achieve the ultimate goal, it will significantly impact current numbers. All children deserve good reading materials at school and at home. Unfortunately, many of Riverchase students' homes do not have any reading resources available. One third of Riverchase students qualify for free or reduced lunch and are economically disadvantaged. For them, holding a book on the couch in their home is a unique event. It need not be, however. Through the weekly use of take -home book bags for all Riverchase students, this grant will provide the gift of literature and literacy. Funding for the acquisition of additional reading material for instruction and student check -out will provide a long -term resource for the students at Riverchase. Increasing the number of books in the media center will provide students with content area references for classroom study as well as the freedom to select from a wide variety of pleasure reading. It will also allow the school to evaluate the 23% of books in the library that are pre -1990 to weed outdated material more freely. Increasing the number of books in the guided reading library will give teachers invaluable classroom instructional materials and parents the loan of good books to have at home. This project will benefit all students as well as all staff members for many years into the future. 5 Project Needs The desired number of books for the media center and guided reading library has already been explained. No additional staffing is needed. Additional materials would be necessary to organize and store the added volumes of books in the guided reading library, however. These are outlined in the next section. (The current media center can accommodate the proposed additional volumes.) This project does not depend upon any other funding sources.

Project Measurements and Evaluation This section should include a detailed description of expected outcomes, numbers of students served and measures to be applied to determine overall project effectiveness. All students in grades K -5 will be served. The school district predicts Riverchase Elementary to have 500 students during the 2003 -04 school year. The per pupil cost for $50,000 would therefore be $100. Desired outcomes include: ✓ Increased reading levels of students as determined by PRIIIRI levels to a show a minimum of one year's growth from August to May. ■ Improved TAKS reading scores, o subpopulations to increase from a low of 83% to a minimum of 90 %; o number of students achieving recognition from a low of 16% to a minimum of district average of 21 %; ✓ Increased check -out numbers per pupil from general circulation library; ✓ Increased teacher check -out from guided reading library; ✓ Every student taking home books to read for reinforcement of skills; See chart on next page for implementation steps and measures to be applied to determine project effectiveness. 8 Strategy Person Responsible Timeline Formative Evaluation Summative Evaluation Gather current data on categories of books in library and levels of books in guided reading library H.

It is the format for reading instruction designed to give students strategies and behaviors to create independent readers with strong comprehension skills. Guided reading begins with a careful evaluation of each student's current strengths and needs to determine an appropriate level of instruction. This instructional level is crucial, for it provides enough reinforcement of previously learned vocabulary and skills to build confidence yet enough challenge to keep the student accelerating. Instructional levels are constantly adjusted to match the student's growth. Teachers meet with students individually or in very small groups (no more than 5). Groups are based on common needs (strategy usage) and/or ability (instructional reading level). During a guided reading lesson, students may review a previously read text to build confidence. A new text is then introduced following a prescribed method. It is very important that the new text be at each student's instructional level, the level that can be read with an accuracy rate of 90- 94 %. It should also be a text that provides the teacher with the opportunity to teach for a strategy or a needed concept. With the teacher's guidance, students investigate the text, building upon what they already know, heading towards what they need next. Guided reading builds upon expressive and receptive language, observation, thinking, rethinking, more talk and more reading. Always teacher - directed, the skills of literacy are developed, practiced and reinforced in the context of actual reading. The goal of guided reading is for students to learn and use independent reading strategies successfully. 11 In addition to books used in class, several books on each student's level are sent home for practice and reinforcement. These books are then exchanged weekly for a new set. Guided reading instruction is totally dependent upon a wide selection of books available for teacher selection. Several books are needed weekly for each child in order for that child to have multiple experiences with text at his instructional level. Levels can be organized numerically (1 through 40) for first through third grade and/or alphabetically (A through T) to encompass first through fifth grade. For example, if a first grader's instructional level was Level 12, his daily lesson might include a previously read Level 11 and a Level 12 book for review and a new Level 12 book which introduces a new concept such as ` -ed' endings. At home, he may have a Level 10 and two Level 11 books for independent reading. (Independent reading level is lower than instructional levels.) All of these would be different titles.
