At the middle school level, it is difficult to administer extensive interminable assessments, when you are trying to determine readability for over 100 students. Many middle school teachers rely on the NWEA/MAP assessment and “Standard of Learning” to provide them with their student’s Lexile levels and readability. The problem with using data from the NWEA/MAP assessment and SOL scores is that teachers only have data from the previous year and are unable to assess the factors that contributed to the students testing scores. A quick and easy assessment that can be given the first week of school, which takes 10 minutes or less and shows word recognition as well as readability is the San Diego Quick Assessment.

For lesson 3, we started out by doing the QRI-6 Passage. I first asked him the three concept questions before reading the passage. For the first question, he just said, I don’t know. I feel like he knew what to say; he just didn’t want to answer the question or say what he was thinking. The other two questions he answered and got the highest score for each of those, so he scored a 6 out of 9, or a 66 and 2/3%. He then read the passage, Just Like Mom, to me. There were 45 total words in the passage, and he was able to read all of them correctly. I timed him as he was reading, and it took him 36 seconds to read the whole thing. Because he didn’t have any miscues, his words per minute (WPM) was the same as his words correct per minute (WCPM),

In Philip Marecelo’s article from January 2017 he describes how Boston is returning to its historic roots as a leading area in the shoe industry. Many shoe companies are locating offices in Boston, as Boston offers the environment and skilled workers that they are looking for. These shoe manufacturers want to attract younger, skilled workers as they see them as also their target consumer. In order to compete for the brightest talent they are offering amenities like running tracks and shops at the ground level of their building. It is interesting that history has shown “mill towns” also built the sense of community with their workers by providing them with company stores and banks. While people are no longer looking for things like company

Here’s what- The student I performed the DIEBALS Benchmark Assessment on was a fourth-grade girl who can sometimes be hyper, but overall is well behaved and willing to learning. For privacy purposes, we will call her Jane Doe. Jane accurately read 26 words out of 31 on the first reading passage, 25 out of 44 on the second, and 30 out of 40 on the last reading passage. After finding the median of the scores, Jane had a 72% accuracy reading on the Oral Reading Assessment with a Median Retell Quality score of 1. Additionally, Jane answered 6 out of 8 questions correctly on the DAZE assessment. Jane’s scores placed her below the cut point of risk for the first benchmark assessment of her fourth grade year.
