Effects of Two Instructional Paces of Pre-K Childrens Participation Rate, Behavior in the Language for Learning Program

This study examined the effects of slow-paced instruction versus fast-paced instruction when teaching the Language for Learning program. Four African American prekindergarten students participated in the study. Dependent measures were as follows: opportunities to respond per minute, percentage of academic responses, academic responses per minute, correct responses per minute, and off-task behavior. Results indicate that fast-paced teaching increased opportunities to respond, student rate of response, and rate of correct response and decreased off-task behavior.

Language for Writing Program Evaluation

This article describes a program evaluation of the Direct Instruction program, Language for Writing, which was implemented in a total of 10 second through fifth grade classrooms across the United States. Student gains in writing achievement were measured pre and post-implementation. Results indicate that students made statistically and educationally significant gains in writing performance; ELL students and students in special education classrooms also obtained significant improvements in writing. Additionally, social validity questionnaires indicated that teachers were satisfied with using the program. (Copyright © 2011, National Institute for Direct Instruction (NIFDI).
