Thanks ...See MoreI am a resource teacher working in the elementary grades. I currently use HOP as a reading resource to help my students learn the letter sounds and get started. I am finding though that it is not repetitive enough for one of my students. I am curious if anyone uses or has used the SRA reading mastery program and what they thought?

Usually the second interview is about particulars... They always ask if you have questions. Have questions. Safe questions like how is it determined that students need remedial reading? Can students be referred to the remedial reading program through the year?
I have an ELL student with cognitive disabilities. He only knows a few letters of the alphabet. I have been able to help him some through the use of "games" centers. He enjoys learning if it looks like playing. Does anyone have suggestions of activities that I can use to aid him in learning alphabet and sounds?
It's not too hard to get learning the alphabet to feel like playing but some props would be very helpful. Get some bells or noisemakers ( preferably pleasant noises) get a wooden or plastic alphabet puzzle. Let him hold the letter - when he says it right then ring a bell etc, and you take the next turn. He gets to choose a letter and ask you what it is. And he gets to ring the bell.
Make large cut outs of the letters and put the A in a corner, the B in another corner etc. l"let's find the A -" who can walk to the B first, me or you?"
Make play dough letters with him.
That's a start but if you can get a computer or iPad there are dozens of fun alphabet games

Help the student use a dry erase marker and individual whiteboard to write simple, regular consonant-vowel-consonant words that.illustrate each letter.

Looking for feedback using readers theater as an intervention how long for intervention (weeks) results in elementary and middle school how was program set up
The DIBELS template document that I've decided to share is not only a tool to document a students scores throughout the year, but also a progress report for parents as well. It is written in Microsoft Word format, so you can make your own changes to fit your school needs. The template shows the benchmark goal for each skill next to the place where the students actual score is placed. Teachers and Parents can easily understand if the student met their goal, and if the goal was not met, or how far below the goal the student actually is. Their is a parent letter to aid in understanding scores and benchmark goals and a page for each grade K-6. This template took a while to create and I would like to help other teachers who are looking for such a template and need to save time.
The web address for this file is down, so I will gladly send it by attachment to those interested. Just e-mail me using the address above.
Check out the Scholastic Book Wizard. You can search by Guided Reading Level(K) and then further refine your search by topic or genre. The first few pages for Level K are all Clifford books, but after that there's a wide variety.
