Belated February Post

I have been working on using the assessments that I am already giving and making it purposeful when planning guided reading groups, mini-lessons and strategy groups. After winter MAP testing, I looked at the 4 strands for reading. I found that I could focus on the strand word recognition/vocabulary. I then explored this area further on the NWEA website to find out some skills in this area I could focus more on. I found prefixes/suffixes, root words, and using context clues, to be three areas I could focus more on in class. I plan to use these lessons in whole and small group.
