Since everyone has finished the Reading NWEA, students were given time to work on their assignments in class. While working, I met with students individually to discuss goals they have for themselves for reading this year. We also discussed how goals can be achieved.
Afterwards, the students were asked to set a goal for themselves and reflect on their goal in their My Portfolio folder on Schoology. Then, they were asked to use their new lexile score to determine what a good fit book for them would be. Students are now expected to read their good fit book for 100 minutes each week.
Since we do not DRA test in middle school, we use a lexile score that corresponds with the NWEA to determine which books would be a good fit for our students. There are also websites that help us look up the lexile of a book. Resources for this can also be found in the My Portfolio folder on Schoology.
Have a great evening!
