"Jane" has shown improvement over the course of the year with her reading and her writing skills. She began the year on an "A" reading level of Fountas and Pinnel and is now reading well on an "H" level. She is reading fluently and is understanding what she is reading. I have her in my guided reading group, then she works daily in a small group of two with my special education assistant. I have her take a book home every night to read to her mother and write a sentence about what she read. She brings it back the next day. Her mother is required to sign it. This has really helped her reading.
She has shown improvement in her writing also. In the beginning of the year, she would begin her writing assignment with a negative attitude. She would just sit there and pout. She did not like writing because she was afraid of making mistakes. But after a while, she realized that nothing would happen if she started writing and made mistakes. Now, she loves to write.
Please see samples and look at the progression she has made:
