Both Benji and Mylos enjoyed sculpting their own letters. We helped each other stretch out the sounds each letter makes. (Book: Alphabet

Letter Identification Assessment
Small Group Instruction
Benji is especially comfortable with the letters included in his name "Benji". This picture shows him creating the letter "J".
Pre-Assessment
Post-Assessment
Running Record: In late September, Benji scored a 70% accuracy during his running record. When I performed my post-assessment of the running record in November, he was reading with a 78% accuracy and more confidence. (Level A books)
Concepts of Print: In late September, Benji hardly knew the mechanics of a book. On our November assessment, he scored a 13 out of 13. This shows us that he understands the conventions of meaning within print.
