Overview of D.
D is a Grade 1 student at Ecole North Oyster Elementary. On our first day D, came in
with an excitement for reading and a curiosity about the table/desk we were sitting at. He was
exploring the underside of it and wondering how the piece below pulled out. Once redirected,
D was ready to share his enthusiasm for reading! Although he was still intrigued about the table
(crawling under the table to see the pieces/pulling out the drawer) he was engaged in short
When talking about reading, D showed confidence in his reading abilities and shared his
favorite books to read are “Elephant and Piggie” written by Mo Willems, specifically the one
“Should I Share My Ice Cream”. He shared his reason for liking these books is because of the
speech bubbles, the pictures: “Sometimes the pictures tell the story!” and the silly stories. He
shared that at school he enjoys reading by himself although at home, he reads a lot more with
his mom. He explained he prefers to read at home because mum reads to him and he can read
to her. Which I believe contributes to his enthusiasm and confidence for reading! He enjoys
reading so much that he wants to be a librarian when he grows up, “To help people find books”.
Moving on to the NLPS Primary Assessment of Reading Screener, D flew through it and
demonstrated strengths in all aspects of the screener. He was quite confident with the screener
which prompted a couple reminders to remember to slow down, as I am also learning. D, also
excelled in the Running Record as was keen to get started! Once he saw the book “The Big
Plane” Leveled Reading 4, he immediately picked it up and was ready to demonstrate his
reading skills! When we moved on to writing, I noticed, although his confidence in reading is

high, his confidence in his writing ability is quite the opposite. He was not as keen to discuss
writing when prompted with questions. His responses were short with little desire to elaborate,
where it came to reading he was excited to talk about it. For example, when asked ‘Do you like
writing?’ he responded with “yes… sometimes… no” when prompted more specifically ‘What
do you like about writing?’ He said, “Not that much.” D, shared that he finds coming up with
ideas and spelling of words for writing the most difficult. With lots of encouragement and
support D, drew a detailed picture and wrote short phrases about what he enjoys about the
playground.
It was such a treat to get to learn a little bit about D and hear his enthusiasm for reading,
