1st Grade Review Week

This week, we are reviewing each of the skills and activities focused on during the last 4 weeks.  The phonics skill focus has been on the short a, short i, short o, and short u sound in the middle of words.  We have also worked on, in one or more of the intervention/enrichment groups, Sequential Phonics, sound boxes, recognizing capital & lower case letters, story comprehension, word fluency, fluency passages and locating & highlighting focus words in a passage.  At the end of each week, a dictation passage has been given to the students in the lowest intervention groups to see if the students can write all of the sounds they hear in the dictation.  The next lowest intervention groups are given a multiple choice progress monitoring on phonics skills and text structure.  The enrichment groups are given word recognition, fluency, and comprehension progress monitoring,  Next week, we will be giving a 3-Minute Assessment to each 1st Grade student to check for fluency, comprehension, word recognition and phonics.
