We have quarterly benchmarks but the child is not targeted for formal
intervention unless they are more than a year behind. I do think the
cutsoffs mentioned earlier are lofty. Our district suggests that kids
be at a V by the end of 5th grade.

April,
I am curious as to whether the teachers in your school/district are
speaking out against this plan? It seems to have very little
recognition of the fact that children learn at different rates, and
that some take longer to "get" something than other. Two months behind?
Wow. That seems very nit-picky and also very arbitrary.
Are there others out there who are assessing/judging children in this
way?

What would that look like? What "extra intervention" are you doing?

Students who are two or more levels behind the monthly target are the
students who we focus on for extra intervention. This could be in
the
form of after school tutoring, extra small group instruction with the
teacher or a reading specialist.
