Hello! I am seeking some guidance regarding a student's reading performance vs. her performance on Fundations dictations. She is a first grader reading beautifully at an F independently, but she is TANKING on her Fundations assessments. The teacher is very concerned because after weeks of instruction, this child is obviously missing SOMETHING in the encoding department, but the reading specialist working with her is not concerned at all because her reading is progressing so well. Can someone tell me what it means that she can't apply the Fundations rules to her encoding? Is she not hearing the sounds? Is she not remembering the rules? Is this a case of one phonics program not being right for all?
What instructional steps would you take from here?
Thank you!
