Each student's independent and instructional reading levels were checked over these past few weeks. Everyone read a 4-5 page booklet while I took notes. Students read half the selection aloud to me and the rest silently. Later I asked them several questions to determine how well they understood what they had read. Here Evan S. is reading about the causes of earthquakes. This data is collected at least three times per year. The levels are used to help design independent and guided reading experiences during the year. Levels achieved in third grade were starting points for the assessments this year. The system is Fountas & Pinnell's Benchmark Assessment System.
