The weekly Reading Comprehension assessments are given in the students
homeroom class by the teacher. This is most commonly done on Fridays, but can
be given any day of the week. Since our school participates in common scheduling,
all 2nd grade teachers give these assessments between 9:00 and 9:45.
MobyMax is a software program we have recently started. The students complete
activities and lesson on MobyMax at least once a week in the CAI lab. However, the
program is also available to use in the classroom so many teachers allow students
to work on MobyMax throughout the school day.
Fountas and Pinnell Focus Group materials are provided to the teachers by the
Reading Specialist. They are used every morning during Focus Group time. The
books and materials are leveled using A-Z and come with included activities to
complete that are embedded into lessons. The students complete between 2-3
books per week, depending on the difficulty level and teacher observation. Included
in this series are comprehension assessments that are given as cold reads with each
odd number book (e.g., book 43). These are completed, data recorded, and
assessments are stored in the data notebook.
Anecdotal notes and records are kept by the classroom and Focus Group teachers.
It is required that you complete at least one session per week with students in Focus
Groups. However, all teachers do at least two to ensure adequate and valid data.
These notes and records are also kept in the data notebooks.
