March Share

The focus of our final share was using data to drive our literacy instruction. We discussed the use of the following assessments:
- Dibels: NWF (how many nonsense words/sounds student can say in one minute); ORF (how
many words student can read correctly in one minute)
- DRA: assesses student reading level (comprehension and fluency)
- Running records: use to make sure students are in proper placement for guided reading
- Benchmarks: our school gives benchmarks every five weeks; use data to help drive literacy
instruction
- Writing and Reading Conferences: used to guide minilessons, conferences, guided
reading/writing groups
- I.E.P. goals and objectives: used to guide literacy instruction
- Read Naturally: used to assist with students with reading fluently
