It has come to that time of the year where we have started our testing. We are really lucky at the end of the year to have one of our wonderful teachers Jenni Clarke complete our running record and probe tests for our learners. I have been able to see some of the data that is coming in so far and most of my students who have been tested have made at least 6 months reading progress!
One massive success is a student who struggled to make progress during mid year testing and who had been on the same level for several years has made one and a half years progress. They have done really well and are so much more confident with their reading.
Many of my students are also very excited for reading and are willing to read for longer periods of time for enjoyment. I initially started my novel study for my own class and shared it with my colleague Sarah Tuiā and her class absolutely love it and are so excited to read books for enjoyment. It has started a little bit of competition between the two classes which has been great to see. From this it has made me think about how we can make this into a team challenge next year to try and engage everyone in reading.
I am looking forward to being able to graph all of my data in a later post and see the overall extent of what they students have made progress. I also need to collate my data for my last reader profile survey which I will also share in a later post.
