 READING Information

• No more than than ten errors per 100 words, including words you had to tell your child, are acceptable.

• The child must also demonstrate comprehension. This would exist considered the Instructional level. 94% accuracy and in a higher place is the Independent level ~ your kid can read and comprehend without educational activity. (In other words, 6 errors or less per 100 words.)

• Comprehension with the volume closed is critical! Grades Thousand and 1 should retell the story, make a connection to their life or another book, tell their favorite function and why. Grades 2 and up should retell, state the author'southward lesson, describe the well-nigh of import event, and why.

• Rate (words per minute) is essential in one case your child gets to Level I (finish of grade 1). Calculate that as follows.

Nonfiction DRA2 options are available for Levels 16, 28, 38, 40, 50.

**twoscore is listed 3x, and 50 is listed 2x. The goal is to become a stronger/higher scorer at each assessment point and allow the student to be assessed in fiction and nonfiction at the twoscore and/or 50.

Words Per Minute By Month/Grade/Level

To summate WPM:

___words in the volume divided past ___SECONDS it took to read X sixty = __WPM

For example, say there are 207 words in a book. The kid read it in three min. 25 seconds, which is 205 seconds. 207 divided past 205 is approximately 1.0 words per second x threescore = 60 WPM!

The above tabular array is from the DRA2 manual and shows the MINIMUM amount of words per infinitesimal adequate to go along to the next level.

Kindergarten Reading Expectations

To Run into the Criterion, kindergarten students should be instructional at Level C by June.  Level B is their independent level.

AT LEVELS A-C,
A CHILD'S READING LEVEL IS DETERMINED Past:

• Is the kid reading with accuracy? No more than than i fault per 10 words.
• Is the child using the pictures and letter sounds to figure out unknown words?
• Does the child recognize their mistakes and does the child go back to fix them?
• Are they demonstrating an understanding of the directionality of print from left to right?
• Tin can they show directionality on two or more lines of text?
• Are they pointing to each word with consistent 1:one matching? (Students tend to gauge or memorize texts at this age level.)
• Can the child hold the book and turn the pages independently?
• Does the child demonstrate an understanding of the terms: begins with, ends with, letter, and sound? For example, "Find the word that begins with this letter of the alphabet: g. Observe the word that ends with this sound /b/."

Your child will be asked who reads to them at domicile and to share a title and specific details about a favorite volume. In that location will also be a survey given asking the child:  What books take you finished lately? What are you reading at school at present? What are yous reading at domicile now? What are 3 things you do well as a reader? What are iii things you lot need to work on to become a improve reader?

***When you read at home with your kid, it is important to accept your child point to each word and figure out unknown words on their own by:
a. Wait at picture b. Await at the beginning letter of the alphabet audio c. Sound it out

Always read each book 3x for fluency and accurateness.

OTHER KINDERGARTEN ASSESSMENTS / REQUIREMENTS

We administrate the DIBELS 8 3x/yr. Each are 1-minute tests:

• Name letters. The upper and lower case are mixed upwards on a sheet of paper.
• Segment individual sounds heard in a give-and-take, for example "apple" /a/ /p/ /l/ and "holes" is /h/ /o/ /l/ /z/. If the child can correctly segment apple and holes, that is vii sounds.
• Read 3 letter brusk vowel nonsense words ~ these tin exist sounded out ~ for example, "sil,"  "tob,"  "paj,"  "zev,"  "nud."  The goal is for the kid to recognize these chunks automatically, not sounding out sound past sound.
• Reading real words ~Kindergarten Trick Words

The minimum scores to pass:

Students should become automated at reading and spelling these chunks: curt vowel rimes. For example, in my reading support group, nosotros practice reading each row chop-chop over and over, pointing under each word.

Your child will also need to know how to read and spell the K Trick words. These words tin can't exist "sounded out" and need to be recognized by sight: Kindergarten Trick Words.

What Does An ADVANCED Kindergartener Wait Like While Applying Strategies?

Making Connections/Prior Knowledge	Uses groundwork cognition to enhance comprehension and interpretation.  Makes text-to-text and text-to-self connections; uses knowledge of familiar authors to make predictions. (For ex., Curious George oftentimes gets into trouble.)
Questioning	Asks questions to enhance meaning; tin can hands reply  questions; kickoff awareness of different types of questions ~ literal (answers are IN the text) and inferential (answers come from life experience).

AT LEVELS C – J,
A Child'S READING LEVEL IS DETERMINED By:

• Is the kid reading with acceptable accuracy? No more than than 10 errors/100 words.
