1.
2.
Majority of classroom teachers use the basal reader as the primary source for reading instructions. The majority of teachers are not liberty to discard the basal program, whether it works or not.
3. Student workbooks are no longer used on a massive scale since funds for purchasing such materials have been withheld by the many states. 4. The average classroom is limited in the amount of reading materials available to supplement the basal.
5. The average classroom teacher does not have the training to individualize instruction nor would most administrators feel comfortable with such procedures. 6. Most teachers are looking for reasonable methods for improving skills that are logical, manageable, inexpensive, compatible with the required program, and conducive to large and small group instruction.
4. Building success into the program and rewarding positive behavior. 5. Believing that all students are readers and providing time for recreational reading. 6. Happening with few instructional materials. Accommodating individual differences.
8. Involving the home as as long as the family is willing to cooperate with the remedial program.
SIGHT VOCABULARY:
What should be taught?
The most frequently used 1,000 words account for 90% of the total running words used in writing, in speech, and in print. This small core of 1,000 words is used nine times as often as all other words.
Thorndike
(1921)
Completed one of the first major studies of this century by recording 1.5 million running words from which the 10,000 most frequently used were contained in his Teachers Word Book.
1936 = Dolchs list of 220 sight words 1935 = Gates 1,811 words for primary students 1967 = Kucera and Francis 50,406 words of highest frequency 1979 = Sakiety and Frys 3,000 Instant Words (more recently developed)
1926 = Horns 10,000 words 1945 = Rinslands list of 14,571 words 1954 = Greenes list of 5,507 words
Basal spelling programs usually come from a combination of these three studies.
1928 = International Kindergarten Union List of 2,596 words of kindergarten and first graders speech. 1931 = Dales 769 Easy Words 1969 = Wepman and Hass 2,621 words commonly used among children between the ages of 5 and 7 1975 = Moe and Hpkins 250 most often spoken words among children in kindergarten to second grade 1966 = Howes; Jones and Wepman (adults)
There appears to be relatively little difference in high frequency words list between those compiled from children and those compiled from adults, particularly the first 500 to 1,000 words.
There is relatively little difference whether the lists are compiled from print materials, speech or handwriting.
In other words, the majority of studies report similar word lists, regardless of the type of vocabulary or the age of the population used in the study, particularly the most frequently used 500 to 1,000 words.
A basic high frequency word list need not to contain several thousand words to be both accurate an broad in scope. ( Horn, 1926; McCarthy, 1977)
The rationale of evidence presented... develop word list that is appropriate for all students to master. broad enough to span several years of difficulty short enough to be manageable

words each. It should be in ascending order of difficulty (e.g level 1= easiest and level 4 = difficult) It must be arranged approximately 15 lessons that is in ascending arrangement. Thus, 900-word list divided in into 4 levels of 15 lessons each, a total of 60 lessons.
Validation of RSVP
What is the range of difficulty for RSVP ? Are the lesson s and levels generally in ascending order of difficulty?

Mean scores of all Subjects taking the Reading Subtest of The Wide Range Achievement and the 120- Word RSVP TEST: (N=266)
Each test is more difficult than the preceding one. The 2 exceptions are test 4, which is slightly easier than test 3, and test 6 which is slightly easier than test five. It can be predicted that each group of five lessons ascends in level; of difficulty with the same 2 exceptions identified above. When the 12 test are regrouped so that the item difficulty for all 3 tests comprising an entire level are combined, it is clear that each of the 4 levels of the RSVP increases in difficulty from level 1 through level 4.
Advantages of RSVP
The formal teaching of core vocabulary should continue well beyond the primary grades. It joins Fry 600 Instants Words and Sakiety and Frys 3,000 Instant words as the only lists with a criterion or screening test, an important timesaver in placing students at an appropriate level of for instruction. Is the only high frequency word list with two equivalent forms of a screening test.
