RtI: Charting Student Progress

Was this not just the busiest week?  We had off Monday for yet ANOTHER snow day (day 23 or 24- I've have lost track), so it was a short week.  But I think we tried to pack in as much as we could in those four days!  

This next week is also a 4 day week, so we have lots to try to accomplish in RtI.  Sometimes it seems like it takes the students a bit to get going on their progress, but then they take off and things start clicking!  

My kinders are working on different phonemic awareness skills.  One little one is still on blending phonemes, but it has finally clicked when I stretch out /b/  /i/  /k/  I am NOT trying to say the word wet!  Another student is working on identifying common phonemes.  One boy has moved past that on to deleting phonemes.  He will not be there long- he is picking that right up!

 These are what I am using to chart the kindergartners' progress with Dolch Sight Words.  As you can see, we are making slow, but steady progress.  Kindergartners love to see the progress they are making and it really motivates them to try their best to do more!

The kids like to play Hide the Monster sight word game (click here to see that post) and Roll A Sight Word.  We practice stretching out sight words, listening for the sounds we hear and writing them.  I keep our learned sight words in baggies and add new words to the baggies as they are introduced.  Then we take a couple of minutes everyday to review them. 

We had our Family Literacy Night Thursday.  I'll post pictures Wednesday of the activities we did for that.  It was a lot of fun!
