DIBELS REPORTS

THEY ARE HERE!!! Finally...a letter is ready to send home with the DIBELS reports in order to explain them to our Arnold families. These letters will go home approximately every 4 1/2 weeks with our students who are receiving extra help in reading. This is to keep our families up to date with their student's progress.

We are fast approaching the end of the school year. Here are the fluency goals for grades 1 - 5:
1st grade - 40 wpm (words per minute)
2nd grade- 90 wpm
3rd grade- 110 wpm
4th grade-118 wpm
5th grade-124 wpm

Fluency is rate of reading as well as accuracy. It is proven through research that having good fluency plays a big factor in reading comprehension. This is just one of the reasons we spend time working on fluency.

Check back soon for end of year information for groups.
Happy Easter!
