Smart Way Reading and Spelling is a commercial brand of reading instruction methodology and materials that was developed in 2001 by Bright Sky Learning. Over two years in development, Smart Way Reading and Spelling is designed to be simple to use yet it is extremely efficient in teaching students. The reading methodology ranges from teaching introductory sounds and how to learn American English through advanced reading strategies. The program has been used effectively in remedial reading programs 〔''Overview of the Results of the Bright Sky Learning, Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13, School District of Lancaster Tutoring Research Project'', by Lana Edwards Santoro, Ph.D., Education Associates; Angela Kirby-Wehr, M.Ed., Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN); and, Edward S. Shapiro, Ph.D., Lehigh University, 2006.〕〔http://www.smartwayreading.com/Research_Study.pdf〕 in states across the country with positive and consistent results and is based on the most complete scientific research on teaching reading which stresses systematic and explicit phonics coupled with reading comprehension and fluency.〔National Reading Panel report〕 The Smart Way Reading and Spelling program is presented in a series of twenty-seven individual flip chart lessons. Each flip chart contains a complete lesson that includes both the student and coach materials within one bound booklet. The student sees an image or text on one side of the flip chart, while the reading coach has his scripted instructions on the other side with a mirror image of what the student sees. The completely scripted nature of the program allows even the most novice coach to work with a student immediately. Extensive training is not necessary. Over time, as the coach becomes more confident, he can add more creativity and interaction in working with students. Rather than stressing individual phonetic rules for the sake of teaching rules, the Smart Way methodology introduces words and word patterns in families, helping students grasp the key phonetic rules through a cognitive learning process. The program was designed as both a complete learning system for youngsters and as an intervention method for older students and adults. Though results will vary, most students will complete each lesson in one to two hours. == National Reading Panel Findings == The findings of the National Reading Panel were outlined in the National Institute for Literacy booklet ''Put Reading First: The Research Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read''.〔http://www.nationalreadingpanel.org/Publications/researchread.htm〕 The Smart Way Reading and Spelling program incorporates the following five elements, which were found to be present and work together in the most effective reading programs: 1. Phonemic awareness: the concept that words are made up of sounds that are represented by letters 2. Systematic phonics: linking individual letter(s) to the sounds they make to create words 3. Guided oral reading: repeated and monitored oral reading improves reading fluency and overall reading achievement 4. Vocabulary instruction: vocabulary is acquired by students both indirectly and directly 5. Text comprehension instruction: comprehension in students can be improved by instruction that helps readers use specific comprehension strategies 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smart Way Reading and Spelling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
