Improved?



I Like this quote I dislike this quote

“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”

Winston Churchill quotes

Today I began testing with the QRI. He made slight improvements in all of the word lists, (one more correct at each level), and he scored at instructional on the two level four readings I tested him with today. That was good. He really wants the movie tickets as well, so he is concentrating extra hard. We also finished the vocabulary word poster, and I know he was proud to show off his drawing, he specifically mentioned having "Miss G" see it, because he couldn't draw in the fourth grade! And of course, we had our mandatory game of Scrabble! We'll see what happens next week. Anyway, most importantly, I feel like with the right environment, he will enjoy reading and literacy. It will be up to the parents after next week. Hopefully he'll improve.

    Erik,
    Your student has made so much progress, since you first started. You're not the only one proud of him! Tell him that I would love to see his vocabulary poster. Kudos!

    Erik,
    I hear you!! that's how I felt today...just when I thought we were getting somewhere, the road to success seemed further away! I realized that although we both did our QRI's the difference was you took the time to play scrabble with him. My student and I tested the whole session. Next session, we will test then do some word stips or word flip books...maybe that will motivate him to do better in his test!!

    What may start out as a little progress will eventually lead to significant results if he continues to practice reading. We only hope that our students will do well after these sessions.

    I agree with Annette that it will snowball into more success if he is able to sustain the momentum. And we're all proud of your student and all of ours. It's no mean feat to overcome their difficulties--but they are!
