Students will be reading independently in leveled books this year. “A” is the easiest level and then it progresses in difficulty. These early books use a lot of Jack and Jilly words that we practice everyday, as well as pictures and repetitive patterns.

Students will move to the next independent reading level at their own pace. When their teacher feels they have mastered their current level they will move to the next level of books.

Georgia Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills (GKIDS) CCGPS (Common Core Georgia Performance Standards) Standards Based Report Cards Every 9 Weeks

The DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) is a set of procedures and measures for assessing K-6 literacy skills.

Beginning, middle, and end of year benchmarks

The results allow teachers to identify students that need additional assistance, monitor student progress, and guide instruction.

DIBELS comprise a developmental sequence of one-minute measures:

1. recognizing initial sounds 2. naming the letters of the alphabet 3. segmenting the phonemes in a word 4. reading nonsense words.
