Many students made significant gains in their mid-year PM test.
There were significant gains made by children who began at Level 14 (Reading age 6 years) (Chron age 8 years) who at their mid year test were reading at Level 21 (Reading age 8 years)
I have designed tasks that are specifically re-tell, prediction and making connections to the text as well as learning about specific parts of words.
In the middle of Term 3 we went into a long lockdown online learning period. This halted most of the progress these children made and many did not return in Term 4 for me to test. I can only use the mid year data and any running records I took in Term 3 to form a picture of where the children are now at.
I am happy with the progress they made and can only imagine how successful they would have been without the lockdown interruption.
