How to Progress Monitor Levels aa-E, and above

Filed under: Communication with Teachers and Parents,Ideas to share — Debby @ 3:04 pm

Hi,

Great question! How do you progress monitor reading levels aa-E if there are no fluency passages until Level F?

Go to www.reading-tutors.com

Click on Assessments on the left side:

Comprehension Assessment

Running records are designed to assess a child’s reading accuracy and error types while reading a leveled book. There are 27 leveled readers spanning levels aa through Z. Running record assessments are the most difficult assessments to do and are best performed after having ample training and practice. Retelling rubrics are provided for assessing student understanding of books read. One rubric is designed for fiction books, and the other is for nonfiction books.

Under this is a Benchmark Book and a running record to use for all levels aa-Z.

Also, you can use the High Frequency Words and Graph to show vocabulary improvement.

The High Frequency Word Cards can be found under Assessments. The High Frequency Graph is found at www.ohioprojectmore.org Remember to use that search box.

If you also have a license to www.readinga-z.com, you can

Click on Vocabulary tab at the top of the home page

On the left side, Click on Flashcards

These are 220 most commonly used words.

Students reading at a 1.5 grade level=Level F and Levels above are also monitored using one minute Fluency Passage testings on each book 3 times by a Mentor (Cold, Warm and Hot Timed Reads). There are also Comprehension Checks to track a student’s comprehension progress.
