Attention educators – we have just released a brand new literacy profile report for your learners!  Monitoring and documenting literacy progress is essential in not only helping students feel supported but also to grow more positive and independent in their learning.

Our team at LFK and LFB provide teachers with a term-to-term information report about what comprehension skills their learners have mastered and what they are on the way to mastering.  This report can inform teaching practice.

A strategy that accelerates a student’s learning should be incorporated into your everyday teaching.  We aim to provide a program that supports Primary and Secondary teachers in their teaching of literacy – no photocopying, no purchasing of expensive resources, no monitoring of 2 or more online programs. LFK has been designed to incorporate four core literacy strands in one program via engaging topics! 

Data Collection

1. Running Records: This method involves having a teacher or other trained professional listen to a student read and record specific reading behaviours such as accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.

2. Assessments: There are a variety of assessments that can be used to measure students’ reading skills, such as the Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA), the Gray Oral Reading Test (GORT), and the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI). 

3. Reading Logs: This method involves having students keep a log of the books they have read, along with a summary of the book and their thoughts on it. This can help teachers track students’ reading progress and interests.

4. Self-Assessment: Encourage students to reflect on their own reading skills and progress, and to set goals for themselves. This helps them become more self-aware and self-motivated learners.

5. Conferencing: One-on-one conferences with students can be an effective way to track reading progress and provide targeted support and feedback.

It is important to keep in mind that tracking students’ reading skills should be an ongoing process, rather than a one-time event. This will allow teachers to monitor progress over time and make adjustments to instruction as needed.

A successful literacy program’s content must be aligned with literacy outcomes.  Literacy for Kids guarantees that your students work through engaging, quality content that focuses on essential skills in the core strands of literacy.
