At South Side we have been studying formative assessment. Formative assessment allows the teacher to check student’s progress. (are they getting it, do I need to re-teach or do I need to adjust the pace and so on)
Our PreK-5 teachers have dedicated a portion of the school day for independent reading time. We took time to assess where we are with this and what is our next step. A star is something to celebrate and the stair step means a skill or strategy we need to keep working on. Using this form in the classroom can allow students to keep track of their own learning and with the teacher’s help they can plan what the next step is.

We must stop and celebrate our success! Too often we forget that good things are happening everyday. Students are reading daily and teachers are sharing their love of reading. Our reading stamina is growing at each grade level!
Happy Reading! Ronna
