Well said--I don't think anyone has found the key for those individuals who
just can't seem to decode the words. I had a brilliant third grader this
year who read on a barely beginning first grade level--he had all the
comprehension skills if someone else could do the decoding for him.

There's also the issue of the student's development - when I was teaching in a
resource room 20 years ago I worked extensively with a student on his
multiplication facts. For more than a year we reviewed with many varied ways
with seemingly little or no progress. All of a sudden they all came
Excellently said! Thank you so much for this articulate response!

When a middle schooler or high school student is reading on an elementary

Hi Jan
I am glad you ask that question about the hypothetical 8th grader who currently
read on a 4th grade level what can we do. Well just to inform you I currently
teach intensive reading for middle school students 6-8th grade and many of them
do read on an elementary grade level. Our school
I'd love to hear from you all about what intervention you think an 8th
grader who reads at the 4th grade level needs. Remember that this
student will be starting high school soon. (This is a hypothetical
student, but I have had students like this in the past.)

the child should be taking out of extra curricular activities for one year in
order to catch up on the reading instruction necessary for the child to be
successful. Many statistics has proven that if the child can read
In my opinion and in a word--NO. I am from Canada and I am always baffled
with the assessment policies and practices in the States. I work in an IB
school so often come down to the States for training and hear American
teachers bemoan the standardized testing they are mandated to do. I think

Wendy, the people making the educational decisions in America today are not
educators. I could say much, much more (and have) but that's truly the bottom

I don't have an ipad, but my university professor showed me this link for My

Hi Sally,
I too would be interested in reading your articles and any others dealing with
motivation. Early in my career I read a book on motivation, Self-worth and
School Learning by Covington and Beery, that really opened my eyes and altered
the way I viewed "school, teaching and learning."
