I would do the CORE phonics assessment. You should assess her decoding words
in isolation along with decoding nonsense words. Is there dyslexia in the
family? I would explore dyslexia as a possibility.

Hi everyone,
I was asked to test a 2nd grader who has been in our District since
Kindergarten. Her Benchmarking scores (MAP and Aimsweb) red-flagged her
for
Intervention. The teacher agreed. Fluency and comprehension are low but
she is
wildly inconsistent day to day.
She is getting the Horizons Intervention program 4x/week plus an extra
dose of
guided reading one-on-one 4x/week. She is not making appropriate progress
according to progress monitoring and the running records, and oral and
visual
assessments of the teachers. She is totally inconsistent in her knowledge.
One
day, she reads well and answers questions. The next day, she cannot
remember
the "silent e" rule or the "When two vowels go walking..." or she will
have
trouble recognizing rhyming words, even when they are placed in a row in
front
of her.
The teacher and Interventionist are stumped. (Me too!)
Does anyone have any thoughts on strategies we could use or any
professional
books I could buy that would give us strategies to help her simple recall?
Also, any information on processing issues would be so helpful as well. I
don't have a huge background in that area.
Thank you!!

Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] School wide reading.
I HIGHLY recommend the book Day to Day Assessment in the reading
Workshop; Making informed Instructional Decision in Grades 3 - 6. By
Sibberson and Szymusiak. Honestly I taught a reading workshop classroom
for
years grades 5 - 6. Much of my doctoral research had to do with intrinsic
motivation and also assessment (the good kind ) as integral to intrinsic
motivation. This book is absolutely excellent in describinb the thinking
and classroom practices that least to highly engaged and effective reading
-
the independent reading so critical along with some of the other balanced
literacy needed - to complete the whole!!! Please please please check it
out. It works for primary and middle school, probably hgih school if you
have the flexible mindset that can see the underlying assumptions of the
practices and figure out how to make them work at the different levels.

Hi. I work in a k-5 school as a reading consultant. We currently have a
monthly calendar that kids turn in to get a small prize. At the end of
the
year the get recognized, so on and so forth. However, the program is old
and
not very enticing. The younger ones are usually the ones turning in their
calendars but mostly it is ineffective anymore. I would like to
revitalize a
school wide reading program. Does anyone have fresh and exciting ideas
that
is
easily recordable but effective? I would live to hear ideas out there.
Thanks!
