Parents and Teachers I dreamed I stood in a studio And watched two sculptors there, The clay they used was a young child’s mind And they fashioned it with care. One was a teacher, the tools she used Were books and music and art One was a parent with a guiding hand And a gentle, loving heart. And when at last their work was done They were proud of what they had wrought For the things they had worked into the child Could never be sold or bought. And each agreed she would have failed If she had worked alone For behind the parents stood the school, And behind the teacher stood the home.

Very important to be done on child’s off days of school. Will have all month to work on packet and is due last week of each month. Homework packet follows kindergarten report skills. Reading Log is to be done daily and recorded.

Standards Based, Not Letter Based Goal is for student to be PROFICIENT by the end of the school year Throughout school year students will be monitored by: –“M” Making Progress –“L”: Limited Progress

DIBELS is a fluency-based measurement system designed to measure important early reading skills in Kindergarten. This system measures three basic sets of skills: 1.Phonological Awareness 2.Alphabetic Principle 3.Accuracy/Fluency with Text

ISF measures a child’s ability to choose words starting with a given sound and ability to produce the initial sound of a word in isolation.

PSF measures a child’s ability to break words into smaller sound parts. For example: cat is made up of the sounds /C/ /A/ /T/

NWF measures alphabetic principle skills by assessing a child’s ability to produce correct letter sounds or combine them to make words. baf cid tus nif

Students are measured three times during the year and classified into three categories: 1.Benchmark = Reached goal 2.Strategic = Not quite at the goal 3.Intensive = Significantly below the goal Assessment dates: Fall, Winter, Spring

MEASUREFALLWINTERSPRING Initial Sound Fluency (ISF) 10 or more initial sounds per minute 30 or more initial sounds per minute Not Tested Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (PSF) Not Tested20 or more sounds per minute 40 or more sounds per minute Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF) Not Tested17 or more letter sounds per minute 28 or more letter sounds per minute Letter Naming Fluency (LNF) No benchmark set for (LNF)
