Exemplary Center for Reading Instruction (ECRI). A program designed as a practical guide to
teach reading and other language skills to students in grades K-12. In-service for teachers is
based on research findings on effective instruction.
Description The Exemplary Center for Reading Instruction’s purpose is to teach teachers so they can use effective teaching
strategies that prevent failure. These strategies include: eliciting accurate and rapid responses during instruction, establishing
high levels ofmastery, maintaining on-task behavior, integrating the teaching of language skills, using effective management
and monitoring systems, varying schedules and classes so students can invest the time and energy needed to learn, and
supervising students’ hands-on activities and practice. The strategies are incorporated into the teaching of reading, spelling,
grammar, creative and expository writing, literature, speaking, and drama skills, and are extremely effective in content
instruction such as science and social studies.
Students’ attention is sustained with the momentum of the instruction and reinforcement offered during practice time. Overt
responses appeal to all preferred modalities of learning. Instruction is provided by ECRI so teachers can: utilize critical
teacher behaviors identified through research, develop a class and/or school schedulingand record keeping systemformastery
and individualization, and teach reading and language skills effectively.
Teachers learn to teach phonemic awareness, word recognition skills, vocabulary through phonics and word structure
methods, literal, interpretative, critical and creative comprehension, study skills, literature, and composition as they use
readers, literature series, novels, trade and content books typically available in the school.
Students demonstrate mastery through their participation in small-group discussions, writing, locating, organizing, and
evaluating information as well as with criterion referenced tests written for the different reading and literature series and with
standardized tests.
ECRI students demonstrate competency in their ability to reason, solve problems, apply knowledge, read, write, and
communicate (National Goal 3). ECRI students remain in school longer because of their success in school and their higher
academic scores (National Goal 2).
A description of ECRI is included in the “Catalog of the Education Commission of the States” at:
https://www.ecri.cc/ECSArticle.pdf as a Promising Practice, and was included in the “Catalog of School Reform Models”
by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (review an excerpt of the NWREL catalog at:
https://www.ecri.cc/NWRELCatalog.pdf). Streamed Internet broadcasts showing ECRI classes can be viewed at
https://www.ecri.cc/videos.html. ECRI is listed in John Hopkins University’s Best Evidence Encyclopedia (BEE) website
as a program rated as having evidence of effectiveness for upper elementary reading.
Evidence of Effectiveness Regular education ECRI students demonstrate significantly greater gains (p<.01) on the reading
subscales of standardized achievement tests than (1) comparison group students receiving their regular reading instruction
and (2) expectancies derived from national normative data.
Special needs ECRI students (Chapter I, bilingual, ESL, remedial) and special education students (learning disabled)
demonstrate significantly (p<.01) greater than expected gains (derived from national normative data) and the Total Reading
composite scales of standardized achievement tests.
Requirements For teachers to begin to implement ECRI, five to 10 days of instruction are preferred with one ECRI staff
person for 25-30 trainees. The programincludes lecture and practice sessions, preparation ofmaterials for classroom use, and
teaching students in a simulated setting. Following this, periodic visits by ECRI staff to trainees’ classrooms to demonstrate,
model, and monitor are encouraged. The length of time to replicate the ECRImodel varies. Existing district readingmaterials
may be used. Supplies for teachers and pupils are those usually found in schools. ECRI teacher texts and tests are used by
teachers during in-service. No special staffing or facilities are required to implement ECRI.
Costs Honorarium is $1,200/day plus expenses. Required ECRI teacher texts are approximately $220/teacher plus shipping.
Services Awareness materials are available at no cost. Visitors are welcome by appointment at the programsite, Reid School,
www.reidschool.com, and additional sites in other states. Program staff are available to attend out-of-state awareness
meetings. Training, implementation, and follow-up services are available at adopter sites and at the program site.

TT001 Teaching Vocabulary (Eight Methods of Instruction)
and Teaching Letter Names and Sounds
(Author: Ethna R. Reid)
$35.95
Choosing among eight different methods to introduce vocabulary allows teachers to develop
students’ excellent visual and auditory discrimination, their ability to detect word parts, and identify
syllables. Students learn much about the characteristics of the English language.
Teachers learn, with the assistance of this text, which words to teach through phonics, by sight or
context, or through five different word structure methods. They also learn when they should use each
method. Students learn to generalize from each method of instruction and are able on their own, then, to
pronounce new words. Retention soars.
During instruction, students learn the meaning of their new words. They read the words in
sentences and use them in sentences. Later, they are able to use the words in their conversations and in
their writing.
Teaching letter names and sounds is invaluable for teachers who teach pupils at an initial level of
reading. A variety of exercises provides multiple practices as pupils learn to name letters and attach
sounds to symbols. Phonemic awareness develops as students recognize and participate in the various
activities provided in this text.
Visual discrimination of letters is essential if pupils are to learn to read. Students must recognize
and remember differences in letters, and a knowledge of letter names is needed if pupils are to spell words.
Hearing differences and likenesses in sounds (auditory discrimination) and recognizing letters that
represent sounds assist pupils as they learn to read. Once letters are named, pupils are taught the sounds
that a letter or combination of letters represent.
TT002 Teaching Spelling and Teaching Proofing Through Dictation $25.95
TT003 Teaching Manuscript and Cursive Penmanship Skills
(Author: Ethna R. Reid)
$17.95
As pupils learn to spell, write legibly and rapidly what they read, and proof their work, their
reading levels increase and they use their ability to express themselves in writing more frequently. From
the exercises found in Teaching Spelling and Teaching Proofing Through Dictation and Teaching
Manuscript and Cursive Penmanship Skills, students learn to evaluate the quality of their writing and
spelling. They learn to proof and correct their writing. Rate building practices are important in writing
and are included in penmanship instruction.
Not only can teachers find directives for teaching spelling, penmanship and proofing skills in these
two texts, but they also learn to develop pupils' auditory sequential memory through dictation and visual
sequential memory as they teach them to write and spell.

TT004 Teaching Comprehension (Literal, Interpretative, Critical, and Creative)
(Author: Ethna R. Reid)
$39.95
Unless students understand the words they read, they lose interest in reading. Comprehension is critical
for persons to become lifetime readers. This text includes the rationale and strategies for teaching literal,
interpretative, critical, and creative comprehension. Pupils not only learn to use the comprehension skills as they
read, but they also learn to identify questions that test their knowledge of these skills. Comprehension is taught
as pupils listen or read orally and silently. Teachers learn the importance of moving beyond teaching only literal
comprehension. Even in the lower grade levels, students can learn to infer, become a critic, and create as they read
– if teachers teach them these important skills.
TT005 Teaching Critical Thinking and Specialized Study Skills
(Author: Ethna R. Reid)
$39.95
Critical thinking and specialized study skills assist a reader to obtain information more readily and to
transfer the information so it makes sense and is used to serve meaningful purposes identified by the learner.
Teachers use a variety of written materials, literary genre, and content texts to teach such skills.
The specific lessons contained in this text include:
1. Select the Topic
2. Select the Main Idea
3. Evaluate the Relevancy of Sentences, Parts I
and II
4. Organize Information on Levels of Importance
5a. Take Notes: Write Topic and Main Idea from
What Is Read/Heard
b. Take Notes: Write Topic and Subtopics in
Outline Form from What Is Read/Heard
6a. Alphabetize: Say Letters of the Alphabet in
Order, and Arrange Words in Alphabetical
Order by the First Two, Three and Four Letters
b. Alphabetize: Arrange Words and Acronyms in
Alphabetical Order
7a. Locate and Use Information, I (textbook, dictionary,
encyclopedia, etc.)
7b. Locate and Use Information, II (variety of other
sources, such as atlas, thesaurus, etc.)
c. Locate and Use Parts of a Newspaper
8. Follow Written and Verbal Directions
9. Read and Use Graphic Aids
10. Survey a Book/Chapter
11. Develop Reading Flexibility: Skimming
12. Develop Reading Flexibility: Scanning
13. Write an Essay: Descriptive, Narrative, Persuasive,
Expository
14. Read and Write Abbreviations
15. Read and Use Symbols
16. Locate and Use Measuring Devices
17. Learn from Observing Demonstrations and from
Personal Experience
Although the list of critical thinking and specialized skills above is not exhaustive, the use of these skills
will stimulate wider reading with greater understanding.
In addition to general reading, the above-listed skills are frequently used in specific ways in various subject
areas. Samples of these include reading maps and time lines in social studies, reading graphs and equations in
mathematics, reading figures and diagrams in science, reading recipes in home economics and football plays in
physical education. Some of these specialized skills can be taught in a generic way as the reading of graphic aids
is taught.This text will assist teachers in helping students to accommodate to a different style of writing, which is
characterized by tenseness, density of ideas, and inclusion ofmany unfamiliar and different concepts. Specialized
study skills enable students to learn to use resources necessary for effective reading.
TT006 Teaching Scheduling and Record Keeping
(Author: Ethna R. Reid)
$25.95
This basic text helps teachers find an appropriate schedule for the time they spend teaching reading and
other language skills and to learn to teach students to work independently toward mastery. Directives to orient
students to a schedule and a record keeping system are included. Record forms for duplication are provided.
ECRI's research and rationale that are contained in the text assist teachers and parents in understanding the ECRI
teaching techniques and strategies for mastery learning. Recommended materials and equipment for an ECRI
classroom are listed. Directives for holding a small group discussion, judging readiness to take a mastery test,
writing without the teacher's help, getting ready to conference and to conference are but a few of those contained
in the text.

TT007 Teaching Literature
(Author: Ethna R. Reid)
$41.95
The purpose of the Teaching Literature and Teaching Writing texts is to help teachers and students
not only appreciate literature but also to identify the unique characteristics of great writing. The intent of
the Teaching Literature text is to assist students to understand types of literature and various author's
purposes and abilities. Such understanding enhances the spontaneity in a literary experience.
Teaching Literature stimulates the interest of listeners and readers in the techniques and devices
authors use to convey meaning. As a result of the lessons, students learn to recognize and replicate in their
writingwhat authors have done to give their readers a message, and to share their experiences and feelings.
The teaching in this text begins first with a model. The teacher reads a sample of a literary
selection to the students. Students then read suggested literary examples in the prompting and practice
stages of learning individually (as they do during ECRI instruction) or as choral reading.
The text is divided into three sections. Section One helps students identify various types of prose,
poetry and drama. Section Two focuses on authors and what theydo to convey meaning for their readers.
Section Three emphasizes the use of sounds and rhythm in language — especially in poetry. Students
learn the subtleties employed by authors to create a mood, tone and allusion — as well as other devices
to create beauty of ideas and expression.
TT008-1 Teaching Writing (Creative and Expository) Skills, Book 1 $35.95
TT008-2 Teaching Writing (Creative and Expository) Skills, Book 2
(Author: Ethna R. Reid)
$29.95
Teaching Writing, Book 1, includes 36 sets of directives to teach at least 120 lessons. The writing
skills the teacher will be able to teach with the use of this text include: making sentences tell more;
substituting descriptive words for "said" and "walked;" identifying a paragraph; writing so readers can
understand and infer; writinga paragraph without irrelevant sentences; quoting sources; writing opinions;
judging qualifications to write; learning to proof and correct; writing using emotionally charged words and
the common touch, bandwagon, testimonial and card stacking techniques; writing letters; describing what
is seen, heard, smelled, tasted and felt; describing a character; writing fiction about real people or events;
writing fiction that is true to life; writing a fairy tale, tall tale, fable, myth, legend, epic; rearranging words
in sentences; usinga simile, metaphor, hyperbole, personification, onomatopoeia; developing a story plot
and revising what is written.
Teaching Writing, Book 2, includes lessons to teach students to write a drama, biography,
autobiography, essay, exposition, anecdote, comedy, farce, parody, pun, diary, journal, tragedy, newspaper
article, dialects, dialogue, monologue, flashback, allusion, ballad, sonnet, limerick, haiku, epigram, blank
and free verse, narrative and lyric poems, concrete poem, synecdoche, metonymy, transferred epithet,
symbol, allegory, paradox, analogy, aphorism, elegy, epigram, folklore, idyll, and oratory. It also includes
directives for teaching students to write from a first- and a third-person point of view, how to use overand
understatement, irony and satire in their writing, and how to write and rewrite to change the distance
in time between an incident and the speaker.
ECRI's experience has shown that if the process and skill of writing is taught from the beginning
of a child's school experience, and if the child is given dailywriting activities, writing becomes as natural
to the child as reading. A model is provided for students to follow as they are taught each skill.

TT009 Teaching Grammar for Sentence Reading and Writing (Two Volumes)
(Authors: Ethna R. Reid and William R. Slager)
$44.95
These two texts represent a major breakthrough in the teaching of English grammar — often a
difficult and frustrating task for teachers and students alike. Now through ECRI's research there is a better,
more efficient way to ensure that grammar can be an integral part of a language arts program.
Students learn the material with ease and apply it immediately. Every series of lessons ends in a
writing activity in which students are able to demonstrate their understanding of each grammatical
component taught.
The books contain 87 lessons in three parts. Each lesson takes two or three days to complete. Part
I includes the most common forms of sentences: statement, question, exclamation, and request/command.
Part II helps students recognize the most basic word classes and sentence functions: nouns (singular,
plural, and possessive), subjects (along with their corresponding pronouns), and the verb "be" and other
single word verbs. The section concludes with a review of the sentences through the practicing of "yes/no"
questions and negative statements. Part III continues the focus on word classes and sentence functions and
introduces basic sentence types: Subject-Verb (optional time, place and manner words),
Subject-Verb-Object, Subject-Verb-Indirect Object-Direct Object, and Subject-Verb-Complement.
The first lessons in Part III present adjectives and sentences of comparison. The later lessons focus
on the development of phrases that consist of a verb preceded by a single auxiliary — specifically the
modals can and will and the auxiliary be. Finally, the student receives a brief introduction to coordination
with sentences connected by and, but and or; and to subordination by sentences connected with because,
before and after.
(About the co-author: Dr. William R. Slager, former Professor Emeritus in the University of Utah
Department of English, was a noted applied linguist who specialized in the teaching of English as a second
language. He served on the National Advisory Council on the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language
and conducted many workshops for teachers and supervisors, both in this country and abroad. He was
project editor for the first two editions of English for Today, and is senior author of Core English, an
elementary series for children who are not native English speakers. He has also published papers on
teaching English as a second language. In these volumes he brought his unique expertise to the teaching
of English grammar for all students.)
ST001-4 Analyzing Sentences (Books 1, 2, 3) ( $10.00 each or $27.00 for the three) $27.00
(Authors: Ethna R. Reid, William R. Slager) for three
These three consumable student texts build on the information contained in the teaching grammar
volumes. The three books contain lessons for students to learn to expand noun and verb phrases and
sentences. The verb phrase is carefully expanded: at first, one modal or auxiliary is used in front of the
verb; then two words are used; and, finally, three ("might have been going"). Sentences with more than
one verb (that is, with a subordinate clause) are also carefully introduced. The presentation of the clause
moves from noun clauses in Book 1 to adjective clauses in Book 2 and adverbial clauses in Book 3.
Lessons on determiners, quantifiers, indirect and direct quotes, prepositional phrases, and passive
sentences are also found in these books. Questions and negative statements are reviewed. Infinitive
clauses are taught. Book 3 concludes with a comparison of conjunctions (such as "and") and sentence
connectors (such as "furthermore").
The format of Analyzing Sentences includes explanations that are read by the students and
discussed with the teacher. Examples of the grammatical component are provided. Students write in the
text where requested. Suggested supplementary activities that can be done at home are included with each
lesson. An answer key is provided for the students to check their work.
