Today, some of my students were progress monitored for
reading. Many of the students in my
class read at a level far below third grade.
I have noticed that these students are quite aware of their lack of
proficiency in reading. I have mentioned
previously that a student refers to his books as “baby” books. One of the students, who was progress
monitored today, has been working with myself, my MT, and a LLI (leveled
literacy intervention) teacher on improving his reading. Today, this student progressed two reading
levels. He was so excited to share his success with his students. I recognized
just how significant positive feedback is for students. Recognizing an individual’s hard work and
helping them reach their goals is beyond rewarding. This experience has encouraged me to continue
to push the students who are struggling with their reading. I believe that
seeing their goals realized will be great incentive to continue pushing
themselves in their reading.
