READING LEVELS - DOCUMENTATION
Reading
Level Chart - I assigned each third grader a number, for confidentiality
purposes, and plotted their level
on this chart. This was a great visual to use during parent/teacher
conferences to answer the ever popular, "How is my child
doing?" question. It is also great to see how your class/grade
level is doing as a whole.
This form was initially designed for reporting DRA scores, but
you may need to adjust it for Rigby/F&P leveling. I also highlighed
the "X's" whether they were below, on, or above grade
level.
