We have just completed our mid year running records so this is the perfect time to look at my mid year data and compare this to the start of the year to track progress so far. I have added in one extra student to my data set "Student J" as I would also like to track their progress throughout the year and they will be in the same reading group as my other students. I don't have any 2023 data on this student but I have data from mid year testing that I have added into the data set as well. I have created two different graphs, one looking at reading age and the other looking at reading level. I will explain each of the graphs in detail below.
This first graph shows the progress of my students looking at reading age. From this data I can see that most of my students have made some progress in reading age. All of the students who have made progress in their reading age has made gains of 6 months progress in reading. This testing has also provided an indication of next steps and what areas that I need to work on with this group of students.
This next graph shows the progress of my students looking at reading level. I do like to look at this data as well as because some of these reading ages are in a band of two tests and even though students have made 6 months progress they has also made huge gains in reading level. From this graph I can see that some students have made progress of one level and others have made progress of two reading levels within six months of learning.
Next steps:
From this data and analyzing the running records I can see areas that need to be worked on. One of these key areas is vocabulary and students understanding the words that they are reading in a text. The other key areas that I have noted that need to be worked on is inferring meaning and applied knowledge. These will be the key areas that I will be working on with these students in the next two terms.
