FOREWORD
This document, Learning Outcomes for Reading: Early Childhood Education, Middle ChildhoodEducation and Adolescent Education, has been a long time in the making. Over a six year period, it has beenthrough countless reviews and refinements. The final result reflects the efforts of numerous dedicatededucators from across West Virginia who worked, individually and collectively, to establish learningoutcomes in reading.
In 1977, the first edition of a "working draft" document for grades K-8 was printed. That document,Essential Competencies and Learner Outcomes, was the result of work done by an appointed committee and,before being printed, was critiqued and validated by county reading administrators and finally field tested.Since that time, West Virginia teachers and administrators have been using the competencies to plan forinstruction with regard to a common set of reading skills.
In 1980, a need was felt to finalize the original draft document and to develop a set of readinglearning outcomes for grades 9-12. In the process of doing this, not only would a set of outcomes begenerated for adolescent education students, but the K-8 reading document would be reviewed and revisedbased on input from West Virginia educators, Programmatic Definitions for Early Childhood, Middle Childhoodand Adolescent Education, and on research findings in the fields of reading and human growth anddevelopment. Once a draft of these outcomes was completed, members of the West Virginia Advisory Council cnReading and County Reading Administrators met to review and critique the learning outcomes. Their commentsand suggestions were then considered by the Executive Committee of the West Virginia Advisory Council onReading, and a final draft was submitted for approval to the West Virginia Department of Education.
The outcomes and objectives are not intended to serve as a comprehensive reading curriculum for WestVirginia schools. Rather, they are intended to be used as a guide for improving the teaching and learningof those reading skills which are to be acquired by each student, and for tailoring programs to meetstudents' needs along an instructional continuum.

INTRODUCTION
The Role of Reading Instruction in the School Curriculum
Learning to read is a continuous and sequential process, one which spans many years and a multitude ofexperiences. From the moment an infant starts to discriminate sights and sounds in the environment, thegroundwork is laid upon which future reading development depends. The development and encouragement in thehome of oral language facility in very young children, and a corresponding emphasis on providing experienceswhich will foster critical thinking capabilities in children, are important contributors to the futuredevelopment of formal reading skills. Simply stated, the stage is set for the acquisition of reading skillsand processes before a child enters school.
The role the school plays in reading development is crucial. As concepts and skills are introduced atappropriate and necessary points along an instructional continuum, supported by a richness of experiencesand opportunities for oral and written language expression, children begin to unravel the intricacies of thereading process. Instruction and activities are structured and implemented to facilitate the development ofstudents' abilities to read. By taking children from the point at which they are operating in the readingcontinuum and by providing them with educationally sound and developmentally appropriate experiences,teachers maintain and extend previously acquired reading skills. Once instruction has occurred andopportunities have been provided for practice and feedback, teachers are able to detect student weaknessesand strengths and to take remedial steps or to provide enrichment activities, as necessary.
Goals
The first goal of the Educational Goals for West Virginia states, "A thorough and efficient system ofeducation, as recommended by the best educational expertise available in West Virginia and approved by theWest Virginia Board of Education, shall develop in students to their capacity, skills in reading, writing,spelling, perceiving, speaking, listening, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing numbers and usingreference materials." To effect this mastery, learning outcomes have been established for the readingcurriculum. Designed to support efforts at the local, school building and classroom level, this documentpromotes the improvement of educational programs and the facilitation of the teaching-learning process.Through the major instructional goals for reading programs which contribute to theEducational Goals for West Virgi-,ia, each learner will:
1. develop the ability to read, that is, to interpret meaningfully printed or written verbal symbols,2. use reading as an efficient tool for learning,3. acquire a sense of self-respect through an understanding and appreciation of his/her abilities,
needs, interests, goals and worth,
10
4. develop knowledge and skills which will enable him/her to read as a leisure activity; and5. develop understanding which will enable him/her to read critically and analytically.
Implementation of Learning Outcomes for Reading
Learning Outcomes for Reading: Early Childhood Education, Middle Childhood Education andAdolescent Education one in a series of curricular documents developed under the auspices of the Officeof Educational Program Development, Bureau of Learning Systems, of the West Virginia Department ofEducation. Developed to provide leadership and technical assistance to professional educators in localschool districts and institutions of higher education, this document was designed to support effortsthroughout the State to improve educational programs and to facilitate the teaching-learning process. Ofcourse, effective implementation of any curriculum depends upon the optional utilization of time, personneland materials to provide quality opportunities for learning.
This document, because it represents the scope and sequence of reading skills which should be acquiredby West Virginia students in kindergarten through grade may be used to serve purposes beyond - 1-tingthe foundation for curriculum development. In fact, this document may serve as a critical resource hetextbook selection process at the local and state level; as an integral part of teacher education r-iogr,As;as a tool for program evaluation; as a method for gauging students' reading proficiency; and as an aid toteachers in diagnosing and prescribing individual students' reading needs. The potential uses of thisdocument are limited only by the user's insight, imagination, desire, and creativity.
Competency-based staff development packages, developed for use with the original essential competenciesand learner outcomes document, have been revised to correlate with the learning outcomes. These materialsprovide administrators and teachers with knowledge and skills which will assist them in interfacing thelearning outcomes with local educational programs and instructional practices.
Before attempting to incorporate Learning Outcomes for Reading: Early Childhood Education, MiddleChildhood Education and Adolescent Education into classrooms, it is important that the assumptions andworking definitions underlying the learning outcomes be fully understood. These assumptions are:
1. The outcomes and objectives are not meant to be considered the total curriculum. They are intendedto serve as a guide around which developmental reading programs may be structured, as part of acomprehensive approach to curriculum development.
vi
12
13
2. Learning outcomes and learning objectives are a way to track students' growth and development. Theoutcomes are to be achieved by the end of each grade level. Outcomes are actually written as exitlevel skills and should be viewed as such. Please note that the adolescent education outcomes havebeen written as a single set cf outcomes and that the skills are to be mastered by the end of thetwelfth grade.
3. Teachers should be knowledgeable about the concepts, outcomes, and sample learning objectivespresented in other grade levels. Although concepts may be identified as being mastered in certaingrade levels, teachers should work with their students to maintain, strengthen and extendpreviously mastered concepts.
4. Within each concept area, there may be several sample learning objectives. These learningobjectives are sequentially ordered. However, the sequence of concepts and learning outcomesthemselves does not imply the arrangement that should be followed for mastery.
5. The learning outcomes follow a grade-by-grade developmental sequence and each sample learningobjective implies that the students are working at grade level. If students are not functioning atgrade level, sample learning outcomes and objectives for previous (for remedial students) or future(for accelerated students) levels should be consulted for guidance.
6. The accuracy statements included in the sample learning objectives are meant to serve as ayardstick based on instructional levels for students in various grades. Teachers should makeadjustments to suit the needs of their own students.
7. In order to help students assure accuracy in attaining the outcomes, it is necessary to teachstudents to proofread, edit, and generally review their work. Proofreading and editing, therefore,have not been included as skills treated by this document, but are implied as a necessary part ofany instructional program.
8. Certain personal development concepts are implied in this document and in others prepared by theBureau of Learning Systems. Teachers should strive to meet the psychological, social, and physicalneeds of students as well as their intellectual needs. Growth in each of these areas occurs inrelation to the other areas.
Definitions of terms used throughout this document are as follows.
Concepts--abstract ideas generalized from specifics.
Learning Outcomes--behaviors which the learner needs to exhibit to progress satisfactorily to the nextlevel of learning in reading. The component parts of each learning outcomes are:(1) a learner term, (2) a process or performance term, and (3) a content statement.
14vii 15
Learning Objectives--sequentially ordered objectives necessary for the accomplishment of learningoutcomes. These objectives are stated in terms of the conditions under which theobjectives will be performed, a learner statement, the observable performance thatwill be accepted as evidence that yarning has taken place, a content statement,and the standards that will be used as the basis for evaluation.
Early Childhood Education--growth period between ages three and ten, roughly corresponding to gradesnursery through four.
Middle Childhood Education--growth period between ages ten and fourteen, roughly corresponding togrades five through eight.
Adolescent Education--growth period between ages fourteen and nineteen, roughly corresponding to gradesnine through twelve.

Reading is ... a way of learning, changing, and developing. Readingcan enrich and ennoble; it can also delude and debase. The act ofreading is itself neutral, but the ideas and feelings aroused whilereading become part of the person's total background of experience;they become integrated with the traces of all related previousexperiences. Reading allows individuals to learn from the experienceof others and permits human knowledge to become cumulative.
