Our class raised scores from 52% reading at or above grade level in the Fall to greater than 90% of the class reading at or above grade level as of this week! The Winter IRI scores showed that out of the 10 students who needed improvement in order to reach grade level, 8 students gained significantly and reached their goal. The two students who need to improve are working to reach their own goals. It's very important to realize that we have another IRI in the Spring, and our reading fluency will still need to show gains. The Winter fluency goal was 128 words per minute. Our goal for the Spring is 164 words per minute. Every student should continue reading aloud every night to meet this coming goal! To help families understand how to work with their children, the school will sponsor an IRI night for 3rd graders on Thursday, February the 16th. Please plan to attend! We'll work from 6:00 until 7:15 with specific strategies to help you understand what the test covers and how to help your child prepare for the IRI in May. Look for a note this week about the coming IRI night.
