Heroe was given the following reading assessments and found to be on grade level. On the BAS (Benchmark Assessment System), he scored instructional at level D. He was able to correctly segment 21 out of 22 words on the Yopp-Singer Test of Phonemic Segmentation, indicating strong phonemic awareness skills. Phonemic awareness is important and is a critical skill for future success in both reading and spelling. Heroe also correctly identified 86 sight words on the Word Identification Assessment. A meeting was held with the parents immediately following testing to discuss the results.

Lesson Comments
Xavier has testing all week, so he did not have homework. I talked to him about the testing, and he didn't seem too stressed about it. He said he didn't go to another room for the extra time because he was embarrassed. I told him I have high school students who come to my room to take their tests. He said, "Are they cool with that?" I told him they know that it helps them, so they don't worry about what someone else thinks. Xavier suggested working on his keyboarding skills because his library teacher said he needs to build up speed.

- Nicholas read The Gum and The Lost Dog.
