The Simple View of Reading: Parent Learning & Advocacy Tool

$20.00Price

Created by Learning to Learn, LLC (founded by literacy specialist Jennifer Cimini, M.S.Ed.), The Simple View of Reading: Parent Learning & Advocacy Tool is an educational reference and planning workbook designed to empower parents and guardians during school conferences, MTSS reviews, and IEP or 504 meetings.

 

Grounded in the established Science of Reading framework

(Decoding) X (Language Comprehension) = (Reading Comprehension),

this tool helps families move past a single overall test score to understand their child's specific reading profile.

 

Key Features & Components:

 

  • Framework & Reading Brain Explanation: Breaks down how print recognition (D) and spoken language understanding (LC ) interact to produce reading comprehension (RC).

 

  • Evidence Mapping: Practical worksheets to organize observed strengths, concerns, and assessment evidence across decoding and language comprehension domains.

 

  • Student Exemplar Process: Follows a fictional student ("Jordan") to demonstrate how to track changes in performance across different conditions (e.g., text read aloud vs. independent reading).

 

  • Advocacy & Meeting Tools: One-page meeting reference sheets and progress-monitoring logs that guide parents in asking targeted, evidence-based questions about assessment consistency, accommodations, and instruction.
