This week I worked with students on their reading. Several of the students are getting to the point that they can take AR tests by themselves. I am not sure if the students are allowed to use their books while taking the test, but several of the students do. It amazes me how this one classroom can have so many different reading levels. I mean their several reading levels inside the reading levels. I like that the first grade teachers have created reading groups. My teacher, Mrs. Puckett, works with the high level readers. I think that by splitting up the groups and giving the groups to several different teachers that the students have a better chance of doing well in reading.
Our classroom is the same! some kids are fine to work by themselfs and others I need to read aloud the test too. ( I let them use the book too!! my teacher said it was ok)
