Sam started class with an informal comma assessment, checking commas between independent clauses and the results show this is an area we will now focus on. Then, she logged into Raz-Kids and we checked her placement (V, mid/end of grade 4) and on this one informal assessment (where I listen and she reads aloud) her comprehension was 5/5 (on a quiz with low difficulty, not comparable to FCAT or FSA type tests) and word recognition and decoding showed slight struggles, not enough to move her down a level. She was unable to decode 4 words, and self corrected another 3. Her fluency is strong and she reads aloud beautifully, stopping at appropriate places and using inflection at or above grade level. After the Raz-Kids informal assessment, where she confirmed Level V. She moved onto a short reading activity to enhance basic knowledge of Greek Mythology. Learning terms like the Midas Touch. Last, she worked ten minutes on SumDog for reading skills practice.
