What is an “I CAN” game? It is literally a can that contains a variety of “test like” questions. Each question comes in multiple-choice format or short response format (you pick the format that fits your needs). Both sets of cards (multiple choice & short answer) come with and without QR codes. It is up to you if you want to incorporate them into your classroom! HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE!!! As a Group Game: Place this “I Can” game out as one of your math centers. In groups of 2 or more, students can play this game against one another by seeing who can collect the most cards. To collect a card, students must answer the question correctly. If they check their answer and it is incorrect, another player can attempt to answer the question correctly and keep the card for themselves. If a student pulls an “I Can” card, they can add this to their pile of cards as a bonus and pull another card to solve. ***ANSWER KEYS INCLUDED!!! As Independent Practice: Students will pull a card from the can and solve it. They should record their answers on the “My Answers” sheet. When they are finished, they can check their answers using the answer key or QR code. It is a good idea to offer a reward/incentive for completing the set of cards, and/or mastering a certain percentage. As a Progress Monitoring Tool: When students complete this activity independently, have them keep track of their progress using the “Checklist” provided (or you can use the checklist and check their work yourself). You can then use this checklist to see if the student has mastered the focus skill. You can also use this information to help you determine if, and in what area, further instruction is needed. Here is a list of ALL 10 “I CAN” Geometry Games.

What is a nonsense word anyway? Nonsense words are 3 letter words (CVC) that you can sound out but they are not "real" words. LUP is a great example. When I was first introduced to nonsense words as a form of assessment in kindergarten I thought it was RIDICULOUS. Why on earth would I teach my kids words that aren't real? What a waste of time right? Wrong! You and I read nonsense words without hesitation, even though they are not real words because we have the ability to process all 3 letters at one time (because we are great readers!) When students are learning to read they have to read each letter individually L-U-P. In the very beginning they may not even get all of the sounds. Using nonsense words gives them many different combinations of letters that they might see later in larger words. Nonsense words are parts of whole words Conifer, decompose, retina.....think about the chunks within those words that are nonsense words. When students have the ability to blend sounds naturally instead of struggling though each one larger words become less of an obstacle for them. Using nonsense words to assess gives multiple different perspectives in one assessment. When I listen to student decode nonsense words I can tell you a couple of different things about them right away. Do they know their consonant sounds? Are they mixing up b's and d's, is there a specific letter giving them trouble (Y, H, N?) or do they just struggle on all of them? Do they know their vowel sounds? Listening to a child read nonsense words is the one time that I can hear explicitly what sounds they struggle with. Are they ready to start blending the sounds? Is their processing speeding up to the point that they can blend two sounds without a lot of effort? How is their confidence? When the processing and the confidence picks up they are ready to fly and reading all around them really opens up from that point forward. Using nonsense words to practice these skills is NOT teaching to the test. The processing that happens during this practice is what helps students become better readers. Do they improve on the assessment, yes! If you stop looking nonsense words as a ridiculous exercise in data collection and instead as a way to reinforce a skill that will make students better readers your entire perspective will change. Here is a simple run down of the changes I see in students from the beginning of kindergarten to the end. I created these practice pages for students to use during their independent reading time and have them for FREE HERE. I also use lots and lots of regular WORD FAMILY resources too. This is just one way we practice in our classroom. Want to save this post for later? Here you go!

*Note* As of 12/10/2015, an additional Comprehension Companion Add-On Kit is available that aligns to this product. Sold separately HERE. **Note: This individual product is now available in this BUNDLE.** 60 Fluency Passages for 5th-12th Grade HERE. This product will help you progress monitor those interventions. In RTI, it's simply not enough to provide interventions to struggling readers, we must have proof, with data points, to prove that the interventions are working (or in some cases, not working). No longer can teachers recommend a student for testing based on hunches, sixth senses and 35 years of classroom experience. This product helps a teacher accomplish the task of collecting the progress monitoring data points for interventions in the reading areas of phonics, fluency and comprehension, including fluency skills listed in the Foundational Skills reading strand of the Common Core for ELA for grades 2 - 5. This packet is also ideal for interventionists, tutors or home school teachers of 1st - 5th graders or any teacher, interventionist, special education teacher, tutor or home school that works with 2nd -6th grade students reading at least one to two years below grade level. Included in this product are the following: A Quick Start Guide (1 page) A Comprehensive Guide to RTI Progress Monitoring with Fluency (10 pages) 60 Fluency Passages-(aligned with the lexile system) with word count 60 (duplicate) Fluency Passages without word count 10+ Student Fluency Graphs (for students and teachers) 2 Teacher Graphs for documenting Progress Monitoring (editable) 1 Fluency Passages Grade-to-Lexile Correspondence Table 1 Terms of Use In addition to the 60 fluency passages that I have written and created (also known as R-CBM's) I have written a 10 page comprehensive guide to understanding the role, purpose and rationale of progress monitoring as an essential and necessary component of the RTI process from my experiences of implementing RTI for the past five years, in a very easy to read and understand format. Of the four research based ways to measure comprehension; fluency timings, oral retellings, multiple-choice questions and cloze, fluency timings show the highest correlation to reading comprehension of these four ways. These passages can also be used for homework or in your classroom at a fluency center for those students who are trying to improve or just maintain their fluency growth. These passages are my original creations. Every passage is leveled according to the lexile measurement system that has been adopted by the Common Core. If you think you need just your grade level, I would ask you to consider the range and level of readers in your class. If you have students reading above and below grade level, you will need to use passages at their instructional reading level, not their grade level. With the lexile overlap that occurs (you'll notice that on the Grade-to-Lexile Correspondence Table in the Preview) there are: 20 passages in the 1st grade range 30 passages in the 2nd grade range 30 passages in the 3rd grade range 20 passages in the 4th grade range 15 passages in the 5th grade range This fluency product is licensed for single user/single classroom use. If other teachers at other grade levels or schools are interested in these fluency passages, please send them to my store at www.hellojenjones.com. This is my original work and I have put a lot of time, effort and energy into creating it.

With back-to-school season here, it's a great time to start thinking about implementing student led goals in your classroom! One thing I have found is that students work so much harder when they have created their own goal. They put forth even more effort when they are involved in the progress monitoring. And, boy, do they celebrate their success harder when they reach a goal they set for themselves. Feeling that success makes them crave more! Assessing Strengths and Weaknesses Before setting a goal, I have my students think about their strengths and weaknesses. It is an important life-long skill for a person to be self-aware and learning that skill as a young student gives your students a lot of time to practice that skill before they become adults. Setting a Goal The first few times you set goals with your class, your students might need help coming up with an attainable and measurable goal. If your student is currently reading 32 words per minute, a goal of reading 80 words per minute at the end of the marking period would not be an attainable goal no matter how hard the student works. Part of setting a goal is coming up with a plan to help reach that goal. This is the perfect opportunity to talk about strategies your students can use to get them to where they want to be. What are some measurable goals students can set for themselves? * Completing homework every night. * Getting a certain score on a spelling test. * Reading a certain number of words per minute. * Scoring a certain time on a timed math test. * Returning library books on time each week. * Earning a certain behavior reward each day. Monitoring Progress Monitoring progress can be a really fun learning experience for your students! Pick a day during the week and set aside some time to help your students track their goal. In a quick, 5-minute conference you can talk about their progress along with what is helping and not helping them reach their goal. Once you have modeled this behavior a few times, you may be able to let your students track their progress independently. This depends on their maturity and ability to be honest with themselves. CELEBRATE! At the end of the time period, it is important to celebrate success! Each child that reached their goal should be rewarded in some way. I have done something as simple as allowing those that met their goals a chance to eat lunch in the classroom on a Friday. It doesn't have to be big. It doesn't have to be a tangible object. Most importantly, it doesn't have to cost you any money! Hanging up certificates on a success board is a perfect way to celebrate success. It might be a great idea to send a copy of the certificate home so your students can celebrate with their families as well. Do you already have your students set and track their own goals? I would love to hear about it! If you want to try this out and need a resource to get you started, I have a Student Led Goals pack in my store with everything you need. If you want to take it a step further, I also have an All-In-One Kit for Student Led Parent Conferences. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the increased effort once your students are involved with setting their own goals. See you again soon!

What do you do when you learn that your child has dyslexia? Should you hide this diagnosis to protect them from labels and misunderstandings, or should you tell them? If you do decide to tell them, how do you do this? Can you help them to overcome any potential fears or misunderstandings? These are the questions that I will answer in this blog that includes kid-friendly graphics. What are the Benefits of Telling Your Child That He or She Has Dyslexia? Educating your child with dyslexia about the common signs and misconceptions can help them to: understand that they learn in a different way than other kids that don’t have dyslexia. shed negative labels such as stupid, careless, unmotivated and lazy. correct any misunderstandings. identify with other successful people that have or had dyslexia. acquire the needed intervention and instruction in school. learn that many people with dyslexia have strengths that others do not have. Individuals with dyslexia are often: great at communicating their ideas aloud. creative, critical thinkers. good at seeing the big picture. excellent at solving puzzles and building things. If you want to learn more about dyslexia consider reading: The Dyslexic Advantage Overcoming dyslexia Help your Child Understand Dyslexia by Reviewing the Eleven Common Signs Show your child the image below and read the list out loud.

Schools need to be systematic in monitoring student progress. Learn about universal screening, ongoing progress monitoring, and response to intervention (RTI).
Developing concepts in children can be a very important job for every parent, teacher and therapist. Research shows that if a child has a better grasp of concepts, that they will improve in their overall language and cognitive skills. Improved concept understanding will increase a child’s ability to understand everyday language and it will help them to better manage their school setting once they are there. A good grasp of concepts will improve a student's ability to follow directions or understand classroom routines and will even help them to problem solve and think through school activities better. Basically, a good grasp of concepts = a more successful student! Since working on concept development is so important, we decided to make this assessment document to obtain a good grasp of our own student’s understandings of concepts before treatment. We believe that these screeners would be appropriate for pre-k to 2nd grade students and possibly for higher grade students with developmental, language and speech delays. This concept screener is intended for showing receptive language understanding. The student is not asked to name the picture. They are asked to only point to the item named. With that said, they could if the teacher or therapist desired, be turned around to be used as an expressive tool by simply asking the student to name each picture for you. Use these quick screeners to collect data for assessments, RTI, for screening students and use them for progress monitoring. They are fully illustrated and student friendly. Just download the preview to take a closer look at the screeners and to read the contents and directions pages for the whole unit. These are the important early concept areas covered in this assessment document: * COLORS * SHAPES * LETTERS * OBJECT FUNCTIONS * COUNTING * SEASONS * ANIMALS * CLOTHING * SCHOOL SUPPLIES * PLACES * PRONOUNS * BODY PARTS * EMOTIONS * VERBS * ACTIONS * ANTONYMS * ADJECTIVES * TIME * QUANTITY * SPATIAL/RELATIONAL CONCEPTS We hope that you find these illustrated screeners useful for baseline data gathering and progress monitoring for your students working on concept development. We know that treatment sessions can be short (sometimes less than a half hour) and that the ability to collect data quickly is important. That is why we made these screeners quick and easy to administer and easy to score (all include 10 questions that will give you a percentage quickly.) Please take the data collected and include it on a student’s daily, monthly, quarterly or yearly progress note or IEP. We sincerely hope that this unit exceeds your expectations and we welcome any and all comments and feedback here at TpT or sent via email.

A comprehensive data sheet is also included to identify any skill areas that indicate a significant need for further assessment or to implement intervention. ***This is an informal screening tool and is not standardized or normed.
