Figure 3 (top). A2i algorithm TCM code-focused instruction recommended amounts as a function of children’s reading grade equivalent (GE) by month (September = 1, October = 2, etc.) assuming vocabulary scores falling at the mean age equivalent (AE). A grade equivalent (GE) of 1.0 corresponds to beginning of first grade reading achievement. A GE of 0 corresponds to a beginning of kindergarten level, and so on. Thus the recommended amount of TCM-CF would be approximately 25 minutes/day in September for a child reading half a grade level below first grade expectations. (Bottom) A2i algorithm CM meaning-focused instruction recommended amounts as a function of children’s vocabulary age equivalent (AE) and month of the year.
