I couldn't be prouder of my student than I was today; not only did he improve on the QRI word lists, but he scored instructional on third grade level of the word list. In addition to that, he scored at instructional at the primer level of the narrative that he read today; a level higher than last semester's. It may seem to others that one level higher is not much of an improvement, but Team Magec knows that there has been a lot of work and effort put into the sessions with our students. Even the slightest improvement is valuable to us and to them. We all know that no two people are alike in their rate of learning, so we are truly appreciative when we see how much effort our students put into improving their reading skills. But, I think more importantly, what is even more significant and meaningful is knowing that they have the desire and drive to improve.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential...these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

Your pride in him was surely a big motivation for your student. I can see him continuing to excel in the future--and you had a big part in it! Add Team MAGEC to his cheering squad.
ReplyDeleteYou have made a lasting impression on your student. One that will carry on with him as he becomes older and better at reading. Not only does he deserve praise for his accomplishments, but you do as well!
