BUT-I might be teaching all subjects to 6th grade next year and am so excited. And scared. :)<br /><br />I taught 6th grade reading for 2 years-it was daunting because of the low comprehension ability. 38 out of 53 were reading below grade level. Sigh. I'm not sure how to really teach phonics in the upper grades so hopefully I'll be learning from you!<br /><br />I'm your newest follower. :)<br /><br />Shannon<br />http://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.com<br />Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149662695273911122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134856775194133121.post-87670979040181408472013-02-03T20:12:02.003-06:002013-02-03T20:12:02.003-06:00To start with my best advice is to take the Aimswe...To start with my best advice is to take the Aimsweb data into consideration, but don't let it drive you crazy!<br /><br />In our MTSS groups, we have to have 6 data points before moving our kiddos to another group. In the first two weeks, I was starting to think that the QPS was crazy, yes, I could see that the students had reading deficits, but their scores were about the target line. Then Friday happened (I progress monitor on Fridays) and almost all of my students went down. It takes about 6 weeks for a good read on a student. A single testing window (such as the fall/winter/spring benchmarks) is just a brief moment of time, and not a complete picture of a student.<br /><br />FCRR has free lessons and activities for all grade levels, a good resource for explicit activities too!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773634721264225907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134856775194133121.post-40432061890054693922013-02-03T17:32:43.235-06:002013-02-03T17:32:43.235-06:00Hi there!

I have all of the IEP students in my 3rd grade LA class and I feel like you have a lot on here that can be helpful!<br /><br />We just finished winter benchmarks for Aims and I was so bummed last week seeing that a lot of my kids haven't made much progress. I'm always up for suggestions and we are starting this week with some more explicit phonics and fluency practice.<br /><br />Stacey @ Riedmiller's Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658132406953991875noreply@blogger.com
