This week I assessed my Emergent Literacy focus student on his attitude towards reading. My focus student is in fifth grade, but is on a second grade reading level. He comes from a military family and has had to move schools multiple time already in his short academic career and has never had a solid foundation for learning before he has to move again. He is eager to learn and catches on quick in all other subjects, but hasn't fine tuned the skills needed to be on a fifth grade reading level. His ERAS scores showed me that he is in the 59th percentile for recreational reading, the 77th percentile for academic reading, and the 70th percentile overall. Based on these results I found out that he doesn't hate reading, he actually enjoys it. He wants to read books that are on the same level as his friends in class. When we read aloud "The Night of the Spadefoot Toad" he was enthusiastic and tried really hard when asked questions about theme. The motivation to rad is definitely there, we just have to fine tune his strategies to get him up to level.
