For the past week I have been testing most of the students in my literacy class to check if they have made any progress in their reading levels. I used running records which is one way that our school assesses reading. It's a great tool to use when not only testing whether a child has made any progress, but also to observe reading behaviours of individual students.
I found that only 3 students out of a class of 25 had failed their running record test. Since the start of the year the levels of progress have been very different. Most of the students are reading below or well below their age. Here is a list showing the progress of students so far:
3 months progress = 2 students
6 months progress = 12 students
9 months progress = 2 students
One years progress = 6 students
More than one years progress = 1 student
We have 2 new students in our class since the tests were done. Some students attend the AWS reading programme with Ms Timmi and Ms Squires. Quite a few also attend reading support with Mrs Clarke and her volunteers.
