I have two girls in my class who have struggled all year long in reading. They are both super sweet girls and they've certainly tried hard, but reading just wasn't something that came easily to them. One girl in particular, I could tell, just wanted it so bad. She's worked so hard at school and at home.
Well, all the hard work finally paid off. I tested both these girls this week and they just rocked! They both know nearly all their sight words and they both scored 5 levels higher on the DRA reading test than they did last quarter. This is incredible. Most kids, on average, increase by 2 levels each quarter. I think for these girls, it finally just clicked. They are both now reading on grade level and I couldn't be more proud.
