Pacing Preface: • Mobile County Pacing follows the Wonders five-day pacing schedule with an additional 1-2 days
during unit test weeks. Mobile County Pacing also allows for two weeks of START SMART for the first two weeks of school. During that time, teachers will teach students the routines and procedures of the classroom and allow the students to practice, practice, practice!
o We are affording 1-2 extra days at the end of each unit so that teachers can administer the unit test and review. These extra days should give teachers more time to give the deep instruction that allows students to master standards. If a teacher is deeply teaching the standards and does not need the extra days to administer the assessment, he/she may choose not to use those days so that he/she can go through the curriculum at a faster rate.
• To make it through all the standards and skills needed in kindergarten, teachers will skip the review lessons in Wonders. The review lessons are the lessons from the following units:
Unit 2, Week 3 Unit 4, Week 3 Unit 6, Week 3 Unit 8, Week 3 Unit 10, Week 3
• Kindergarten teachers must teach through Unit 10, Week 2 to meet all the standards in kindergarten.
• Kindergarten teachers will turn in data for the following assessments by the following dates: Friday, October 12 Unit 2 Test data Friday, January 4 Unit 4 Test data Friday, March 22 Unit 6 Test data Tuesday, May 28 Unit 8 Test data
• The deadlines above are rigid for the year. Schools and teachers have some freedom with the schedule, but data MUST be submitted by the dates listed above. These deadlines will keep everyone on track, but it will allow for some flexibility.
• When submitting Wonders unit test data for students who qualify for reteach-retest, submit the first score (the score before retesting) to central office.
• Do not include data for students who do not take the regular unit assessments (per IEP and/or IELP) in the data reported to central office.
• Kindergarten teachers will make their own EQTs each quarter.
“Turned in” Defined: • Enter All DIBELS data in the DIBELS database by the following dates:
Fall August 29, 2018 Winter January 25, 2019 Spring May 17, 2019
• Submit all Wonders data through a district data form.
Reteach-Retest Reminders for Reading:
MCPSS K Pacing 2
• Follow the Mobile County Reteach-Retest policy. A copy of the document is posted on 365 on the ELA K-5 page.
Grade Requirements:
Kindergarten: Grade Requirements Each Quarter 3 Major Grades
• 1 district-required Wonders Unit Assessment • Wonders Unit Assessments • Projects (3 or more standards) • Common Teacher-Made Assessments (3 or more standards)
*Common assessments are defined as assessments that are administered to all students within a grade level in a local school. Common Projects require common rubrics for assessment.
• Category Weight = 60% 3 Minor Grades
• Assessments covering less than 3 standards Category Weight = 40%
• Entry Types (Examples) o Standards-based Observation- must have rubric/checklist (e.g., Wonders Readers
Theater) o Wonders Integrate
Ideas o Projects (book reports, flip books, diorama, posters) o Quizzes (brief, unannounced/announced, informal, may include Smart Response) o Wonders Progress Monitoring Pages o Foundational Skills Assessments (e.g., rhyming words, high frequency words) o Performance Tasks (e.g., journals, notebooks, constructed response, oral presentations, graphic organizers- more examples may be found on p. 51 in the MCPSS Literacy Manual)
EQT • Teacher Created • 10% weight (averaged with the total grade at the end of the quarter)
*Notes: • This is not an exhaustive list of examples.
• Teachers must use an acceptable grading rubric. “All or nothing” grading is unacceptable.
• A performance task is any learning activity or assessment that asks students to perform and/or demonstrate their knowledge understanding, and proficiency. Performance tasks yield a tangible product and/or performance that serve as evidence of learning. These tasks are grade-level formative performance assessment tasks with accompanying rubrics.
• Accelerated Reader should not be used to determine any grades.
LESSON PLANNING:
EVERYDAY: • MUST teach grade level lesson to all students (typically whole group) • Address as many individual needs as possible each day. Teachers must meet with students who
need intensive instruction daily. After students who need intensive instruction, teachers must address individual student needs based on the following hierarchy:
1. Students needing intensive instruction
MCPSS K Pacing 3
2. Students below grade level 3. On-level students 4. Beyond level students
• AVOID using the computer-generated auto-read options when teaching . The teacher's modeling and student practice reading are much more valuable, valid options when teaching reading. The computer-generated auto-read option is appropriate during listening centers, but not while teaching reading.
Whole group does NOT have to be taught all at one time. For stamina's sake (especially at the beginning of the year), you can teach whole group for a little while, and then teach one small group rotation. Then, teach whole group for a little longer, and then teach another small group rotation. Anything that is supposed to be taught in whole group can be taught small group. Whole group means that everyone must receive the instruction. Students do not necessarily all have to receive the instruction at the same time. Whole group instruction is grade level instruction, and sometimes that whole group instruction needs to be scaffolded to meet the needs of students. Strive to address the five essential components of reading each day with all students. These components can be addressed during whole and/or small groups: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension
RECOMMENDED WHOLE GROUP & SMALL GROUP COMPONENTS Word Work Because research shows that systematic phonemic awareness and phonics instruction are crucial factors in successfully learning to read, make word work a priority for instruction. Close Reading: Big Book Read & Re-Read
• This section is the most complex lesson of the week. Not only is the text always a complex text for students who are on grade level, it is also always quite lengthy to add to the complexity. This lesson is the BEST lesson for teaching students how to attack grade level complex text in the deep, meaningful way that is required on the assessments.
• The goal is for all students to complete the entire “Read” and the entire “Re-Read” of the literature big book selection with the close reading companion (Note: The “Re-Read” section does not require that you re-read the entire text; it requires that you re-read selections of text as outlined in the TE and Close Reading Companion.). Use the close reading companion as a guide in whole group or small group for the “Re-Read.” If you use the “Re-Read” portion during small group, you will be scaffolding instruction. Follow the time guidelines. Strive to complete everything, but do not overwhelm students. The goal is to make sure the students receive that grade level instruction.
• Continue the close reading process in leveled reader lessons for small group. Students will close read on their level using leveled readers. We STRONGLY suggest that teachers use the Leveled Reader Lesson Card lesson plans (rather than the
MCPSS K Pacing 4
"simpler" versions in the TE) to teach the close reading of leveled readers in each group.
Text Connections
• Text connections requires students to integrate their knowledge from all the texts they have read over the course of the week of lessons. Teachers should alert students to the task they will have during text connections at the beginning of the week so that they can keep the task in mind as they have collaborative conversations and work throughout the week. By the time students are ready to make text connections, they will have plenty of background knowledge to use.
SMALL GROUP PLANS ARE A BUFFET: Plan based on student needs.
There are many options available for small group lessons. Principals and/or instructional coaches may guide teachers in determining which small group lessons will best serve their students. Small Group Lesson Options:
Address Students Who Were Not Proficient on an Assessment: • 10 minute skill lesson
Address Student Needs Based on WonderWorks Adaptive Learning Report: • 10-15 minute skill lesson
Teacher Edition Lessons (Skill Lessons): • 10-15 minute skill lesson
**Teacher Edition Lessons (Leveled Reader Lessons): • 20 minute lesson
Teacher Edition Re-Reading of Literature Big Book (Guided Completion of Close Reading Companion):
• 15-20 minute lesson
If Whole Group Lessons better serve your students in small group: • 15-20 minute lesson
Centers: Workstations, Independent Practice, Partner/Group Work
• Workstations, independent practice, or partner/group work are all terms used for centers. Students engage in centers while they are not in a small group with the teacher. Teach and practice center procedures during the SMART START portion of the school year.
• All centers must be practice on standards that have already been taught. Choose the center activities that will allow students to practice the standards and skills that they most need. Several examples of activities that you can use for centers are listed below.
o Suggestions: • Leveled Workstation Activity Cards • Leveled Readers/Activities

• Rereading of Reading/Writing Workshop • Text and Decodable Readers • Your Turn Practice Book Activities • Handwriting • ELL Reproducibles • Beyond Reproducibles • Grammar Reproducibles • Complete Research Projects • Complete Writing Assignments

DIBELS Progress Monitoring *The purpose of progress monitoring is to determine deficiencies and error patterns to inform our instruction.
Instruction/Intervention must occur between progress monitoring sessions.*
DIBELS Progress Monitoring Schedule
For intensive students – progress monitor every 2 weeks
For strategic students – progress monitor every 3 weeks
For core students – progress monitor every 4 weeks
For core students who are 20 points ABOVE benchmark – progress monitor every 6 weeks
Hierarchy of Skills Assessed Using DIBELS: Students must master one skill before moving on to the next. Students should only be progress monitored on one skill at a time. The hierarchy of skills assessed using DIBELS is as follows:
First Sound Fluency
Phoneme Segmentation Fluency
Nonsense Word Fluency
Oral Reading Fluency
*Most kindergarten students should begin PSF monitoring by November and NWF monitoring by February.
*Most first grade students should begin monitoring ORF by the beginning of second quarter.

Suggested Directions for Using the DIBELS Instructional Recommendations
MCPSS K Pacing 45
These colored coded forms can be used in a Data Meeting as a resource to help teachers use DIBELS results to form intervention groups and then have appropriate activities to use for instruction. Teachers can also use the forms in black and white as a springboard for instructional ideas. These instructional ideas are by no means a complete listing.
FOR A DATA MEETING Materials: DIBELS Class List Report Highlighters – pink, yellow Paper copies of the Instructional Recommendations Form (see below) or online access to Office 365
Steps: 1. Have teachers look at the score in First Sound Fluency (FSF) column. Have them
color code any score under 12 with a pink highlighter.2. Now, look at the First Sound Fluency (FSF) column and highlight any score under
21 with orange.3. Teachers now have students grouped for the specific instructional
recommendations that are given on the color coded sheet below.

Weaknesses Available in Office 365 Recommendations
FSF – low number of correct initial sounds identified (< 52)
Even though this skill is not assessed again, it is a building block for PSF. If a child has trouble with FSF, activities need to be continued to strengthen his ability to identify initial sounds
See specific oral segmentation routines on page 11 in the Wonders Instructional Routine Handbook.
Find strategies and activities in the Initial and Final Consonant Sound section of the Foundational Skills Folder in Office 365.
center activities such as picture sorts with pictures having the same initial sound and then differentiating between 2 initial sounds
lessons that practice initial sounds such as sorting, explicit teaching using objects, etc.
stretching words out using Elkonin boxes, then focusing on the initial sound
LNF – low or borderline number of letters identified (< 52)
The purpose of LNF is to measure automaticity with letter naming and not to identify particular letters. Fluency in naming letters is a strong predictor of later reading achievement even though a child need not know every letter name to begin reading.
See specific lessons in the Letter Recognition Resources section of the Foundational Skills Folder in Office 365.
explicit lessons that focus on 2 or 3 letters at a time
work on visually similar letters (b/d, p/q, m/w, n/u) separately – give explicit instruction on b, then d after b has been learned, then drill them together
letter sorts in workshop that bring attention to letter features (sticks, balls, tunnels, etc.)
letter flash drill – as a fluency activity with those that need it
MCPSS K Pacing 51
PSF – low or borderline number of sounds produced (< 51)
There are some things to
be noticed when looking at the Benchmark books. First, every word does not have 3 sounds – stamp has 5 sounds, not /st/ /a/ /mp/. PSF is a critical skill for spelling and it is important that students hear all sounds. Also, words that begin with a vowel (odd, for example) seem to be hard. Specific practice may help in both of these areas.
See specific oral segmentation routines on page 11 in the Wonders Instructional Routine Handbook.
Find strategies and activities in the Phoneme Segmenting Lessons in the Tier 2 Phonemic Awareness book found in the Foundational Skills Folder in Office 365.
use of Elkonin boxes and counters – use 2 boxes for 2 sound words, 3 boxes for 3 sound words, etc.
if a child doesn’t understand the concept of counters, try letter tiles with Elkonin boxes (this will also help with students that need help in FSF)
NWF - low number of sounds produced (< 34)
By the end of Kindergarten, student will need to blend at least 7 words. Suggestions for accomplishing this are to the right.
Find strategies and activities in the Tier 2 Phonics Lessons book (Lessons 42-44) found in the Foundational Skills Folder in Office 365.
for teaching sounds, use pages R22-R25 in Wonders Instructional Routine Handbook, then provide flash card type practice with small sound spelling cards
refer to Instructional Routine Handbook page R18R22 and, as appropriate, focus on internal sounding out [Level 3] or whole word reading [Level 4], not oral sounding out [Level 2])

Handwriting will be practiced daily, and it will be assessed quarterly during the EQT week. The handwriting minor assessment in second quarter is a mid-year check and the data will be submitted to Central Office in December. The fourth quarter minor assessment will be used to determine the level of proficiency and will be included in the final data report submitted at the end of 4th quarter. The Handwriting Manual is available on the K-12 Writing and the ELA K-5 pages on Office 365.
