- Main Idea Strategy: Improving Reading Comprehension through Inferential Thinking (00:57:43)
2008 SIM Conference
Dan Boudah, East Carolina University -
For some students, the challenge of understanding content often results in failure. In particular, many students have difficulty understanding the main ideas in what they read, especially when thy have to read between the lines. This session will introduce participants to the Main Idea Strategy. In the research, students showed pre to post test score gains, considerable improvement through continuing curriculum based measurement and changes in state test performance. Teachers and students overwhelmingly provided social validation for the strategy. Session participants will be introduced to the strategy and manual, which includes step by step teacher lesson plans, instructional resources and student practice lessons. This strategy is designed for elementary, secondary or adult literacy students
- Make it Virtual: SIM Overview (2015 SIM Conference Kaleidoscope, Jane Basler) (00:10:28)

An important aspect of implementing SIM with fidelity is to understand the background of SIM, how SIM addresses RTI and literacy, and the key elements of LS and CER. Unfortunately, time allotted for staff development has been greatly reduced in many districts, which makes it a challenge to offer an overview session. The solution...an online overview.

The Makes Sense Strategies CD contains a set of tools for teachers to use to present content information and teach skills. The CD contains hundreds of graphic devices along with examples of their use in a variety of subject areas. These devices can be used in conjuntion with several of the Content Enhancement Routines, or teachers can invent their own routines. Participants will learn how to use the CD fill in the graphic,devices, use implementation resources on the C, learn about the research that has been conducted, and discuss how to incorporate instruction about he CLD in their professional development sessions.

What can schools do to improve the reading and writing skills of adolescent students? Our panel of experts discusses ways to implement school-level literacy reforms without increasing staff or budgets. Learn how to use assessments to inform reform efforts; the importance of school literacy councils; the distinct role of school principals, reading specialists, and content-area teachers in literacy leadership; as well how to create a school culture that fosters achievement. The expert panel discusses what research says about good practice and how building-level leaders and classroom teachers can support struggling readers and writers.
- Making SIM Happen for Kids- Effective Ehren, Graner, Cooke (01:02:38)
Debra Cooke, Instructional Specialist, Lake Worth, Florida; Barbara Ehren, Research Associate, Center for Research on Learning; and Patricia Sampson-Graner, Casey Strategic Learning Center, Seattle, Washington -
It doesn’t matter how good Learning Strategies or Content Enhancement Routines are, if they are not used effectively and consistently by teachers in their instructional repertoires. Helping teachers incorporate these strategic tools in their daily teaching activities requires a sustained, systematic approach to professional development that is results-driven, school-focused, attentive to the phases of professional development, and mindful of a variety of delivery modes. The presenters, in collaboration with others, designed and implemented such a professional development system in a school district. In this session, participants will learn about this system and explore ways to incorporate this approach to SIM training in their settings

Currently, several efforts are under way to develop and validate new reading strategies, models, instructional practices and materials. These efforts are headed by SIM teams who have taken slightly different paths towrd the same destination: increased student achievement and performance in reading. The purpose of this panel is to share and discuss these multiple efforts so that th e SIM network is informed about current research efforts. The panel will answer questions and entertain feedback from the network. Panel on Reading Report
