On September 30, 2011 the Makepeace Literacy Leadership Center hosted a presentation of the RAVE-O program by George Logue, President of Sopris/Cambium and Stephanie Gottwald, Research Coordinator for Tufts University's Center for Reading and Language Research.
Attendees were impressed by the research and development behind this innovative new tool for reading intervention!
So, what does RAVE-O stand for anyway? Retrieval, Automaticity, Vocabulary, Engagement with Language, Orthography. This research-based program teaches and reinforces retrieval at the word and meaning level, developing automaticity of basic decodable core words with multiple meanings, and addresses orthography! The program was designed as an intervention tool for use with students one-on-one and/or small groups in grades 2-5, but can be used at the mid point in grade 1. The highy engaging curriculum incorporates systematic and simultaneous, direct, explicit instruction of reading at the word level, text level, and with multiple linguistic components. Lessons were designed around carefully selected core words that then serve as a pivot for learning multiple aspects of linguistic knowledge.
Carver Public Schools and the Makepeace Literacy Leadership Center invite partner districts to cost-share training for RAVE-O on Tuesday, October 11th, and Wednesday, October 12th, 2011. The training will be held at our facility located at 3 Carver Square Blvd., Carver, MA from 8:30 - 3:30. For questions or to make reservations please contact Michelle Taylor at 508-866-6222 or taylorm@carver .org ( email is preferred!).
