effective for teaching all students.

Data will talk to you if youre willing to listen. Jim Bergeson

 Academic Strengths
u With a focus on Reading and Fluency over the past four years, Ben Hill
Primary has the following Academic Strengths:
u Recognition of Rhyming Words
u Phonemic Awareness
u High Frequency Words- Sight Words
u Letter Recognition
u Letter Sounds
 Academic Improvements
u In order to increase the achievement percentages of students performing in
Reading/Language Arts, improvements are needed to the following academic
areas:
u Reading Fluency
u Reading Maze Comprehension
 Current State of Achievement

u 50% of students k-2 are performing below reading level as measured by the
STAR, GRASP, and Lexile reports from the past four years. In order to improve
the overall reading fluency and comprehension of the school, Ben Hill Primary
will attempt to meet the reading fluency and comprehension needs of all
students through:
u Resource: will work in small groups with students with disabilities who show
deficiencies in reading. The root causes of the issues seem to be student ability,
parental involvement, and time.
u Small group instruction
u Intervention
u Afterschool
u Volunteers
 Questions and Discussions
u In order to better compare the data from the different measurement tools
used over the span of the past four years, a breakdown of the STAR would
need to take place to obtain the overall percentages of the descriptive
measures taken on the GRASP. While the Instructional Reading Level and the
Estimated Oral Reading Fluency provide insight as to the impact on classroom
instruction, further knowledge is required regarding student growth on more
descriptive measures.
u Are additional measures or tools available to assist with a school-wide focus
on increasing reading fluency and comprehension?
u Can the school schedule be adjusted to allow all classrooms a period of
reading instruction first thing in the morning?
u Are classes scheduled access at least three times a week to the library to
check out books and encourage reading at home?
